The C Terminus of the Ca Channel alpha 1B Subunit Mediates Selective Inhibition by G-Protein-Coupled Receptors

Inhibition of calcium channels by G-protein-coupled receptors depends on the nature of the Galpha subunit, although the Gbeta gamma complex is thought to be responsible for channel inhibition. Ca currents in hypothalamic neurons and N-type calcium channels expressed in HEK-293 cells showed robust inhibition by Gi/Go-coupled galanin receptors (GalR1), but not by Gq-coupled galanin receptors (GalR2). However, deletions in the C terminus of alpha 1B-1 produced Ca channels that were inhibited after activation of both GalR1 and GalR2. Inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) also revealed Ca current modulation by GalR2. Imaging studies using green fluorescent protein fusions of the C terminus of alpha 1B demonstrated that activation of the GalR2 receptor caused translocation of the C terminus of alpha 1B-1 to the membrane and co-localization with Galpha q and PKC. Similar translocation was not seen with a C-terminal truncated splice variant, alpha 1B-2. Immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that Galpha q interacts directly with the C terminus of the alpha 1B subunit. These results are consistent with a model in which local activation of PKC by channel-associated Galpha q blocks modulation of the channel by Gbeta gamma released by Gq-coupled receptors.

Key words: Ca channels; G-proteins; Galpha q; C terminus; galanin; G-protein receptors; PKC
