Figure 5.
Gαq coupling selectivity of the GRPr. Membranes containing GRPr (0.4 nM) were mixed with Gαq (280 nM) and βγ (1 μM), Gi/o (1 μM), or Gαt (1 μM) and βγ (1 μM). GTPγS exchange for bound GDP in the presence (stippled bars) or absence (solid bars) of 1 μM GRP proceeded for 15 min at 30°C as described. Gα subunit concentrations were determined by GTPγS binding with or without addition of βγ. Membrane-independent background binding of GTPγS was subtracted from total binding to give the values presented in the figure (membrane-independent backgrounds were as follows: 635 cpm for Gαq and βγ; 716 cpm for Gi/o; and 3173 cpm for Gαt and βγ).
