Proteolytic experiments performed on transducin and Go alpha subunit strongly suggest that the amino-terminal residues of the alpha chain are involved in the interaction with beta gamma subunits. To test the possibility that the same region in Gs may fulfill a similar function, we introduced a deletion in the amino-terminal domain of Gs alpha. The properties of the wild type and the deleted alpha chains were characterized on in vitro translated proteins or after reconstitution of cyc- membranes by in vitro-translated alpha subunits. The mutant (delta 2-29) Gs alpha could still bind guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate, as revealed by its resistance to trypsin proteolysis and was still able to interact with the membrane. However, (delta 2-29) Gs alpha was not ADP-ribosylated by cholera toxin. In contrast to Gs alpha, addition of beta gamma subunits did not increase the rate of sedimentation of (delta 2-29) Gs alpha in sucrose gradients. Binding experiments on reconstituted membranes showed that the coupling to beta-adrenergic receptors was very low with (delta 2-29) Gs alpha. Finally, the mutant did not restore activation of adenylate cyclase of cyc- membranes. We propose that the primary functional defect is the loss of interaction with beta gamma subunits, which secondarily impairs beta gamma-dependent properties such as receptor coupling and cholera toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation. However, it remains to be established that the lack of adenylate cyclase activation also results from this impaired interaction with beta gamma subunits.
