Descriptions

The Gα subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins are GTP hydrolyases which, upon receptor activation, bind to GTP and regulate effector molecules. Gα-catalyzed hydrolysis of GTP to GDP releases the Gα-GDP product complex from effector and allows its sequestration by inhibitory Gβγ subunits. In Gia1-GppNHp complex, Gln204 of Gia1 interacts with nucleophilic water (Wnuc), participating directly in the Gia1-GTP ground state but must reorient to stabilize the transition state. RGS4, a member of the RGS family of G protein stimulatory factors, accelerates hydrolysis of GTP by Gia1 by destabilizing the ground-state conformation of Gln204. Insertion of Asn128 of RGS4 into the active site enhances catalysis by aiding in binding, orienting, and polarizing Wnuc in the pre-transition state complex. Asn128 of RGS4 displaces the side chain of Gln204 from its anti-catalytic position in the ground state, freeing it to participate in stabilization of the transition state.

3 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
heterotrimeric G-protein complex Any of a family of heterotrimeric GTP-binding and hydrolyzing proteins; they belong to a superfamily of GTPases that includes monomeric proteins such as EF-Tu and RAS. Heterotrimeric G-proteins consist of three subunits; the alpha subunit contains the guanine nucleotide binding site and possesses GTPase activity; the beta and gamma subunits are tightly associated and function as a beta-gamma heterodimer; extrinsic plasma membrane proteins (cytoplasmic face) that function as a complex to transduce signals from G protein-coupled receptors to an effector protein.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.

5 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
G protein-coupled receptor binding Binding to a G protein-coupled receptor.
G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex binding Binding to a complex of G-protein beta/gamma subunits.
GTP binding Binding to GTP, guanosine triphosphate.
GTPase activity Catalysis of the reaction
metal ion binding Binding to a metal ion.

7 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
adenylate cyclase-activating dopamine receptor signaling pathway An adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway initiated by dopamine binding to its receptor, and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process.
adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway A G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway in which the signal is transmitted via the activation of adenylyl cyclase activity and a subsequent increase in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP (cAMP).
cellular response to dopamine Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a dopamine stimulus.
regulation of long-term synaptic depression Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of long term synaptic depression.
response to amphetamine Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an amphetamine stimulus. Amphetamines consist of a group of compounds related to alpha-methylphenethylamine.
response to caffeine Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a caffeine stimulus. Caffeine is an alkaloid found in numerous plant species, where it acts as a natural pesticide that paralyzes and kills certain insects feeding upon them.
sensory perception of smell The series of events required for an organism to receive an olfactory stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Olfaction involves the detection of chemical composition of an organism's ambient medium by chemoreceptors. This is a neurological process.
