These papers [2••,3••] present very similar 3D structures of two different Gα-βγ trimers, revealing the structure of Gβγ and defining the Gα-βγ binding interface. In addition, the structures define a probable membrane-oriented face of the trimer by identifying the likely locations of lipid modifications of Gα and Gγ, as well as the carboxyl terminus of Gα.

Patterns of conserved residues on the surface of Gα point to sites of two surfaces for interaction with other proteins. One of these surfaces interacts with βγ, as shown in the Gαβγ trimer structures. The other, presumably, interacts with serpentine receptors.

At somewhat higher resolution, this structure confirms the seven-helix bundle model inferred from the projection structure of cow rhodopsin [9]. Together, these structures powerfully constrain possible models of mechanisms of receptor activation by ligands and of G-protein activation by receptors.

These (and other) papers [22•,23•,24••] from a collaboration between the Khorana and Hubbell laboratories present evidence that the activation of rhodopsin causes TMs 3 and 6 to move, as rigid bodies, relative to the rest of the seven-helix bundle; in addition, activation is associated with movement of these two TMs away from one another.

Classification of mutant pigments by fluorescence, nucleotide release, and flash-induced light-scattering assays. J Biol Chem 1995, 270:10580-10586. Using a variety of biophysical and biochemical techniques, the authors of this paper show that receptor-promoted release of GDP from the G-protein trimer requires more than just association of the trimer with a serpentine receptor. Although the mechanism by which the receptor induces GDP release is unknown, it probably requires the ERY (single-letter code for amino acids) sequence located at the junction of ic2 and TM3.

Prac Natl Acad Sci USA 1995, 92:11642-11646. Experiments with interfering peptides and site-directed mutations identify regions of receptor and G-protein subunits that are important for receptor-G-protein coupling. To understand receptor-mediated activation of G proteins, however, we must identify specific residues of the two proteins that interact directly with one another. As noted in Table 3, this paper identifies one such contact by showing functional complementation between an amino acid sequence substituted in the carboxy-terminal tail of a Gα and a separate sequence substituted at the junction of ic3 and TM6 in a receptor.
