Inhibition of calcium channels by G-protein-coupled receptors
depends on the nature of the G subunit, although the G  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 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 1B demonstrated that activation of the GalR2
receptor caused translocation of the C terminus of 1B-1
to the membrane and co-localization with Gq and PKC. Similar translocation was not seen with a C-terminal truncated splice variant,
1B-2. Immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that Gq interacts directly with the C terminus of the 1B
subunit. These results are consistent with a model in which local
activation of PKC by channel-associated Gq blocks modulation of the
channel by G released by Gq-coupled receptors.
