Direct Interactions between the Heterotrimeric G Protein Subunit Gbeta 5 and the G Protein gamma  Subunit-Like Domain-Containing Regulator of G Protein Signaling 11: Gain of Function of Cyan Fluorescent Protein-Tagged Ggamma 3

We used fluorescence resonance energy transfer imaging of enhanced cyan fluorescent protein (CFP)-tagged and enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-tagged protein pairs to examine the hypothesis that G protein gamma  subunit-like (GGL) domain-containing regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) can directly bind to the Gbeta 5 subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins in vivo. We observed that Gbeta 5 could interact with Ggamma 2 and Ggamma 13, after their expression in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. Interestingly, although untagged Ggamma 3 did not interact with Gbeta 5, CFP-tagged Ggamma 3 strongly interacted with YFP-tagged Gbeta 5 in FRET studies. Moreover, CFP-Ggamma 3 supported Ca2+ channel inhibition when paired with Gbeta 5 or YFP-Gbeta 5, indicating a "gain of function" for CFP-Ggamma 3. Gbeta 5 could also interact with RGS11 and its N-terminal, but not its C-terminal domain. On the other hand, RGS11 did not interact with Gbeta 1. These studies demonstrate that the GGL domain-containing N terminus of RGS 11 can directly interact with Gbeta 5 in vivo and supports the hypothesis that this interaction may contribute to the specificity of Gbeta 5 interactions with cellular effector molecules.
