The expression of genes encoding G-protein beta gamma subunits was investigated in isolated olfactory receptor neurons from channel catfish. DNA sequencing of PCR products showed that the beta 1, beta 2, gamma 2 and gamma 3 genes were expressed in the neurons. Western blotting showed that at least three of these subunit proteins were expressed. This first analysis of the expression of beta gamma genes in olfactory receptor neurons suggests that these subunits may be involved in a variety of transduction events in these cells.
对来自斑点叉尾鮰的分离嗅觉受体神经元中编码G蛋白βγ亚基的基因表达进行了研究。PCR产物的DNA测序表明,β1、β2、γ2和γ3基因在神经元中表达。蛋白质免疫印迹显示这些亚基蛋白中至少有三种被表达。对嗅觉受体神经元中βγ基因表达的首次分析表明,这些亚基可能参与了这些细胞中的多种转导事件。
