Heterotrimeric G-protein in plants
- Arabidopsis AtGPA1 : single G geneAGB1 : single G geneG-like : membrane associated single gene
- AtGPA1
: 383 a.a. 45kDa: 36% identity and 73% similarity to Gi of mammals and Gat of vertebrates: conserved Arg residue – cholera toxic target site: wild spectrum detectable during development except in mature seed and vertually all parts
- in rice: Ga antisense expressor line – dwarf phenotype: five alleles of dwarf1 (d1): GA insensitive mutant: mutation in heterotrimeric Ggene
- G is involved in
: Gibberellin induction of the -amylase gene in oat aleurone cell: regulation of stomatal opening: pollen tube elongation in lily: light signaling pathway in tomato cells – aurea mutant
2. Involvement of heterotrimeric G-protein in photychrome mediated signal transduction
1) phytochrome
: photoreceptor in plants: R/FR light receptor
phyA is primary photoreceptor for FR light-mediated inhibition of hypocotyl elongation, induction of germination, induction of light regulated, FR light block of the greening response.
phyB is primary photoreceptor for R light-mediated inhibition of hypocotyl elongation- FR light inhibition of hypocotyl elongation
: phyA specific signaling
fhy1-1, fhy3-1 : defective in phytochrome-mediated FR light inhibition of hypocotyl elongation
: remain some phyA-mediated responses in FR light=> phyA signal transduction is branched
2) aurea mutant
-contains less than 5% of the amount of type 1 phytochrome found in wt seedlings- microinjection of phyA should rescued only phyA-regulated processes
Ref. : Cell 73, 937-952
Microinjection
- GDPS- Pertussis toxin- GTPS- Cholera toxin
3) phytochrome A –mediated responses
- CHS (chalcone synthase) : synthesis of anthocyanine- FNR (ferredoxin-NADP+-oxidoreductase- CAB (chlorophyll a/b-binding protein)- RBCS (Rubisco)

◎ Construction of Ga-inducible Arabidopsis transgenic lines
- AtGPA1: under the control of a glucocorticoid-inducible promotor: Induce by exogeneously applied dexamethasone (DEX)
wGa : wild-type full-length of AtGPA1
cGa : potential constitutive active form of AtGPA1 : Glu222Leu – disable the GTPase activity of Ga => locked as a active moleculeVE : vector control

- no difference between VE and G overexpression plants in cell number- length was reduced about one-half than VE
