Abstract

The vast majority of signalling pathways in mammalian cells are mediated by heterotrimeric (αβγ) G Proteins. Reviewed here is regulation of signal transduction by the βγ complex at different protein interfaces: subunit-subunit, receptor-G protein and G protein-effector. The role of diverse β and γ subunit types in achieving specificity in signalling and potentially unidentified functions for these subunits also are discussed.
