Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1995, 92:11916-11920. Describes the identification of a mammalian RGS protein. A yeast two-hybrid screen, with a Gα protein as bait, was used. This is one three independent works (together with [7•,8•]) that present the discovery of the RGS domain. This is the first paper to show a direct interaction between an RGS protein and a Gα protein.

This is one of three independent works (together with [6•,8•]) that present the discovery of the RGS domain. This paper describes the identification of a family of 15 mammalian RGS oroteins and oroooses the nomenclature for RGS proteins.
