Gβγ Activates PIP2 Hydrolysis by Recruiting and Orienting PLCβ on the Membrane Surface

Show abstract
PLC{beta}s catalyze the hydrolysis of PIP2 into IP3 and DAG. PIP2 regulates the activity of many membrane proteins, while IP3 and DAG lead to increased intracellular Ca2+ levels and activate PKC, respectively. PLC{beta}s are regulated by GPCRs through direct interaction with Gq and G{beta}{gamma}. This study addresses the mechanism by which G{beta}{gamma} activates PLC{beta}3. We show that PLC{beta}3 functions as a slow Michaelis-Menten enzyme (kcat~2 sec-1, KM~0.43 mol%) on membrane surfaces. Its partition coefficient (Kx~2.9 * 104) is such that only a small quantity of PLC{beta}3 exists in the membrane in the absence of G{beta}{gamma}. When G{beta}{gamma} is present, equilibrium binding (Keq~0.009 mol%) increases PLC{beta}3 in the membrane, increasing Vmax in proportion. Atomic structures on membrane vesicle surfaces show that two G{beta}{gamma} anchor PLC{beta}3 with its catalytic site oriented toward the membrane surface. This principle of activation explains rapid stimulated catalysis with low background catalysis.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
