A substantial proportion of cardiac Gs is not associated with the plasma membrane.

Abstract:

:The precise interactions between the subunits of Gs (alpha s, beta, gamma) and the plasma membrane remain to be established. If alpha s is associated loosely with the inner membrane, is labile during activation, or is always present to some extent in the cytoplasm, then it should fractionate to the supernatant of a high-speed centrifugation. We identified abundant alpha s (52-66% of total cellular) in the supernatant fraction of right atrial and left ventricular membrane preparations of porcine heart as shown by two distinct measures of alpha s (immunoblotting and ADP ribosylation by cholera toxin). However, functional assays utilizing reconstitution of cardiac alpha s with cyc- S49 membranes revealed that the supernatant fraction contained approximately 16% of total cellular alpha s activity. The alpha s present in the supernatant fraction did not result from contamination by sarcolemmal membrane fragments. We conclude that traditional methods for quantifying alpha s which utilize only detergent extracts from high-speed pellets do not account for a sizable proportion of total cellular alpha s, but that the majority of this population of cardiac alpha s may not be functional, at least with respect to adenylyl cyclase activation.
