G(o), a member of the G(o/i) family, is the most abundant heterotrimeric G protein in brain. Most functions of G(o) are mediated by the G(betagamma) dimer; effector(s) for its alpha-subunit have not been clearly defined. Here we report that G(oalpha) interacts directly with cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) through its GTPase domain. This interaction did not inhibit the kinase function of PKA but interfered with nuclear translocation of PKA while sparing its cytosolic function. This regulatory ...[more]
