The GS protein alpha subunit (alpha S) sequences conserved in non-myristoylated alpha subunits (TENIR, residues 369-373) or critical for adenylyl cyclase interaction were investigated as possible sites required for membrane localization. Substitutions were created by site-directed mutagenesis in which the TENIR residues were deleted from alpha S or added to the soluble, non-myristoylated alpha i1. After transfection, COS cells were separated by centrifugation into particulate and soluble fractions. Immunoblots showed that these substitutions did not change the localization: alpha S +/- TENIR in the particulate fraction, non-myristoylated alpha i1 +/- TENIR in the soluble fraction. The constitutively active alpha i/alpha S chimera (CH4A), containing four regions of alpha S sufficient for adenylyl cyclase activation, was mutated to prevent myristoylation (GA-CH4A). Immunoblots of transfected COS cell fractions showed CH4A in the particulate and GA-CH4A in the soluble fraction. While these regions did not lead to membrane localization, the soluble GA-CH4A could activate adenylyl cyclase in the intact cell and after reconstitution with cyc- membranes.
