RESUMO

Regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins accelerate GTP hydrolysis by Gi but not by Gs class α-subunits. All RGS proteins share a conserved 120-amino acid sequence termed the RGS domain. We have demonstrated that the RGS domains of RGS4, RGS10, and GAIP retain GTPase accelerating activity with the Gi class substrates Giα1, Goα, and Gzα in vitro. No regulatory activity of the RGS domains was detected for Gsα. Short deletions within the RGS domain of RGS4 destroyed GTPase activating protein activity and Giα1 substrate binding. Comparable protein–protein interactions between Giα1–GDP–AlF4− and the RGS domain or full-length RGS4 were detected using surface plasmon resonance.
