title: Endogenous RGS proteins facilitate dopamine D(2S) receptor coupling to G(alphao) proteins and Ca2+ responses in CHO-K1 cells.
abstract: The role of RGS proteins on dopaminergic D2S receptor (D2SR) signalling was investigated in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells, using recombinant RGS protein- and PTX-insensitive G alphao proteins. Dopamine-mediated [35S]GTPgammaS binding was attenuated by more than 60% in CHO-K1 D2SR cells coexpressing a RGS protein- and PTX-insensitive G(alphao)Gly184Ser:Cys351Ile protein versus cells coexpressing a similar amount of PTX-insensitive G alphaoCys351Ile protein. Dopamine-agonist-mediated Ca2+ responses were dependent on the coexpression with a G alphao Cys351Ile protein and were fully abolished upon coexpression with a G alphaoGly184Ser:Cys351Ile protein. These results suggest that interactions between the G alphao protein and RGS proteins are involved in efficient D2SR signalling.
