Journal ArticleDOI
Guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) causes endothelium-dependent, pertussis toxin-sensitive relaxations in porcine coronary arteries.
TL;DR: It is suggested that direct stimulation of G-proteins in endothelial cells by GTP gamma S and sodium fluoride causes a pertussis toxin-sensitive relaxation which may be attributed to the release of nitric oxide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gi proteins and the response to 5‐hydroxytryptamine in porcine cultured endothelial cells with impaired release of EDRF
TL;DR: Porcine endothelial cell culture is used as a model of regenerated endothelium to determine if the abnormal release of EDRF in response to 5‐HT may be associated with the loss of functional pertussis toxin‐sensitive Gi proteins and that the dysfunctional release ofEDRF from cultured porcine endotheric cells in Response to5‐HT is not associated withThe loss of Giα proteins or the absence of 5‐ HT binding sites.
Book ChapterDOI
Purification of G proteins
Journal ArticleDOI
G protein coupling of receptors to ionic channels and other effector systems.
Lutz Birnbaumer,Atsuko Yatani,Antonius M.J. VanDongen,Rolf Graf,Juan Codina,Koji Okabe,Rafael Mattera,Arthur Brown +7 more
TL;DR: One of the roles of G beta gamma s in membranes is to quench ligand independent G protein activation by unoccupied receptors, as reported in earlier experiments in which beta-adrenoceptors, Gs and catalytic unit of adenylyl cyclase had been incorporated into phospholipid vesicles.

Multiple Roles of G Proteins in Coupling of Receptors to Ionic Channels and Other Effectors
Lutz Birnbaumer,Atsuko Yatani,Juan Codina,Antonius M.J. VanDongen,Rolf Graf,Rafael Mattera,J. Sanford,A. M. Brown +7 more
TL;DR: The central role of G proteins in coupling receptors to effector systems can be best illustrated by the contents of Table 1, which lists receptors that exert their actions by interacting with a G protein, according to the general schemes shown in Fig. 1.
