pubmed:abstractText
The cDNA encoding hmGluR6, appended with a 15-amino acid antibody epitope (1D4), was transiently transfected in COS-7 cells. The receptor was purified from COS cell membranes using an antibody affinity column. The purified receptor was then reconstituted into lipid vesicles, and its ability to activate either transducin, the rod photoreceptor-specific GTP-binding protein, or the alpha subunit of Go was assayed in vitro using a guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate binding assay. Activation of both transducin and Go was observed. The rate of Go activation was 18-fold greater than the rate of transducin activation. This indicates that the coupling of mGluR6 to Go is more efficient and suggests that Go may be involved in coupling to mGluR6 in ON-bipolar cells.
