Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(I)/G(S)/G(O) subunit gamma-5 (GNG5)

The protein contains 68 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 7318 Da.

 

Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as a modulator or transducer in various transmembrane signaling systems. The beta and gamma chains are required for the GTPase activity, for replacement of GDP by GTP, and for G protein-effector interaction. (updated: April 1, 2015)

Guanine nucleotide-binding protein, gamma-5; gng5
G protein gamma-5 subunit

DESCRIPTION

G proteins are trimeric (alpha-beta-gamma) membrane-associated proteins that regulate flow of information from cell surface receptors to a variety of internal metabolic effectors. Interaction of a G protein with its activated receptor promotes exchange of GTP for GDP that is bound to the alpha subunit. The alpha-GTP complex dissociates from the beta-gamma heterodimer so that the subunits, in turn, may interact with and regulate effector molecules (Gilman, 1987; summary by Ahmad et al., 1995).

CLONING

Fisher and Aronson (1992) characterized the cDNA and genomic sequence of the gamma-5 subunit (GNG5). They found, furthermore, a cDNA clone from human placenta with an altered open reading frame and 3-prime untranslated region. At base position 957 of the cDNA for native chitobiase (CTBS; 600873), which would be the 3-prime end of exon 6 of the chitobiase gene, there was fused in-frame a sequence that represented exons 2 and 3 from the gamma-5 gene. Exons 2 and 3, respectively, code for the carboxyl-end of the gamma-5 protein and the 3-prime untranslated portion of its mRNA. This hybrid message was also identified in human liver and retina by RT-PCR analysis. It was not known whether a hybrid protein was produced in vivo.

MAPPING

Ahmad et al. (1995) demonstrated that both the CTBS gene and the GNG5 gene map to 1p by PCR analysis of somatic cell hybrids; by fluorescence in situ hybridization using a YAC clone that contains both chitobiase and gamma-5 genes, they refined the localization to 1p22. ...
