DrosophilaGoLoco-Protein Pins Is a Target of Gαo-mediated G Protein–coupled Receptor Signaling
G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) transduce their signals through trimeric G proteins, inducing guanine nucleotide exchange on their Gα-subunits; the resulting Gα-GTP transmits the signal further inside the cell. GoLoco domains present in many proteins play important roles in multiple trimeric G protein–dependent activities, physically binding Gα-subunits of the Gαi/oclass. In most cases GoLoco binds exclusively to the GDP-loaded form of the Gα-subunits. Here we demonstrate that the poly-GoLoco–containing protein Pins of Drosophila can bind to both GDP- and GTP-forms of Drosophila Gαo. We identify Pins GoLoco domain 1 as necessary and sufficient for this unusual interaction with Gαo-GTP. We further pinpoint a lysine residue located centrally in this domain as necessary for the interaction. Our studies thus identify Drosophila Pins as a target of Gαo-mediated GPCR receptor signaling, e.g., in the context of the nervous system development, where Gαoacts downstream from Frizzled and redundantly with Gαito control the asymmetry of cell divisions.
