| + | [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/GPA1_ARATH GPA1_ARATH]] Exhibits a fast rate of basal nucleotide exchange. Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling systems. Together with GCR1, may regulate the cell cycle via a signaling cascade that uses phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) as an effector and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate(IP(3)) as a second messenger. Promotes abscisic acid (ABA) responses in guard cells. But, together with GCR1 and GB1, acts as a negative regulator of ABA during seed germination and early seedling development. Involved in the blue light (BL) signaling. Together with GCR1 and ADT3, required for BL-mediated synthesis of phenylpyruvate and subsequently of phenylalanine (Phe), in etiolated seedlings. Modulates root architecture (e.g. lateral root formation). Negatively regulated by RGS1.<ref>PMID:15155892</ref> <ref>PMID:16415218</ref> <ref>PMID:16581874</ref> <ref>PMID:17322342</ref> <ref>PMID:20862254</ref> <ref>PMID:21304159</ref> | ||

| + | In animals, heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) signaling is initiated by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which activate G protein alpha subunits; however, the plant Arabidopsis thaliana lacks canonical GPCRs, and its G protein alpha subunit (AtGPA1) is self-activating. To investigate how AtGPA1 becomes activated, we determined its crystal structure. AtGPA1 is structurally similar to animal G protein alpha subunits, but our crystallographic and biophysical studies revealed that it had distinct properties. Notably, the helical domain of AtGPA1 displayed pronounced intrinsic disorder and a tendency to disengage from the Ras domain of the protein. Domain substitution experiments showed that the helical domain of AtGPA1 was necessary for self-activation and sufficient to confer self-activation to an animal G protein alpha subunit. These findings reveal the structural basis for a mechanism for G protein activation in Arabidopsis that is distinct from the well-established mechanism found in animals. | ||
