Activated Gαq subunits coassociate with TASK channels. Cell lysates and HA-immunoprecipitates (HA-IP) were obtained from HEK293 cells cotransfected with the indicated HA-tagged TASK channel subunits (T1, TASK-1; T3, TASK-3) and either WT (q) or constitutively active Gαq (q*). After SDS/PAGE, immunoblotting for Gαq revealed only active Gαq* in the HA-IP (Left, arrow), but both Gαq and Gαq* in the cell lysate (Center); both HA-tagged TASK channels were obtained in the HA-IP (Right, arrowhead). TASK-3 channels expressed at higher levels than TASK-1 channels, as reflected in the HA blot. Blots are representative of at least four replicate experiments.
