Retinal 32 kDa MEKA protein (rMEKA) exists in the photoreceptor cells and forms a complex with beta gamma subunit of transducin. Bovine liver contained three MEKA-like proteins (94 kDa, 35 kDa-a, 35 kDa-b) which reacted with a rMEKA antibody. Each protein was purified as a single band on a SDS-PAGE and used for a reconstitution experiment with alpha and beta gamma subunits of cerebral G-proteins (Go/i). The 94 kDa protein inhibited GTP-binding ability of G alpha by forming a complex with beta gamma subunit.
视网膜32千道尔顿MEKA蛋白(rMEKA)存在于光感受器细胞中,并与转导蛋白的βγ亚基形成复合物。牛肝中含有三种与rMEKA抗体反应的MEKA样蛋白(94千道尔顿、35千道尔顿-a、35千道尔顿-b)。每种蛋白在SDS-PAGE上均以单一条带形式纯化,并用于与脑G蛋白(Go/i)的α和βγ亚基进行重组实验。94千道尔顿的蛋白通过与βγ亚基形成复合物来抑制Gα的GTP结合能力。
