The stimulation of meiotic maturation of starfish oocytes by the hormone 1-methyladenine is mimicked by injection of beta gamma subunits of G-proteins from either retina or brain. Conversely, the hormone response is inhibited by injection of the GDP-bound forms of alpha i1 or alpha t subunits, or by injection of phosducin; all of these proteins should bind free beta gamma. alpha-subunit forms with reduced affinity for beta gamma (alpha i1 or alpha t bound to hydrolysis-resistant GTP analogs, or alpha i1-GMPPCP treated with trypsin to remove the amino terminus of the protein) are less effective inhibitors of 1-methyladenine action. These results indicate that the beta gamma subunit of a G-protein mediates 1-methyladenine stimulation of oocyte maturation.
通过注射来自视网膜或大脑的G蛋白βγ亚基,可模拟激素1 - 甲基腺嘌呤对海星卵母细胞减数分裂成熟的刺激作用。相反,注射与GDP结合的αi1或αt亚基形式,或注射磷光蛋白可抑制激素反应;所有这些蛋白质都应结合游离的βγ。对βγ亲和力降低的α亚基形式(与抗水解GTP类似物结合的αi1或αt,或用胰蛋白酶处理以去除蛋白质氨基末端的αi1 - GMPPCP)对1 - 甲基腺嘌呤作用的抑制效果较差。这些结果表明,G蛋白的βγ亚基介导了1 - 甲基腺嘌呤对卵母细胞成熟的刺激作用。
