We suggest that the particular with respect to signaling, often independently as well content of distinct Gbg subunits regulates cellular as in concert with Ga subunits. However, the epony- activity, and that the granularity of individual Gb mous term “Gbg” does not do justice to the fact that and Gg action is only beginning to be understood. 5Gb and 12 Gg isoforms have evolved in mammals Given the therapeutic potential of targeting Gbg to serve much broader roles beyond their canonical action, this larger view serves as a prelude to more roles in cellular signaling. We explore the phyloge- specific development of drugs aimed at individual netic diversity of Gbg subunits with a view toward isoforms. I. Introduction subsequently revealed that Gbg subunits can also modulate many other effectors, via direct interaction, Heterotrimeric G proteins composed of Ga and Gbg that are also regulated by Ga subunits, including subunits relay signals from G protein–coupled recep- phospholipase Cb (Camps et al., 1992), adenylyl cyclase tors (GPCRs) to a wide range of downstream effectors, isoforms (Tang and Gilman, 1991), and voltage-gated including adenylyl cyclase isoforms, phospholipase calcium channels (Ikeda, 1996; Zamponi et al., 1997). In isoforms, ion channels, protein tyrosine kinases, and this review, we focus on the diversity of Gb and Gg mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), among subunits, their unique roles in the regulation of both bg others. Originally, the G dimer was thought to be canonical and novel effectors, their implications in a necessary primarily for inactivation of G subunits, disease, and their potential as therapeutic targets. In allowing them to reassociate with the receptor for addition to work described here, a number of other subsequent rounds of signaling. In this sense, Gbg was recent reviews focus on different aspects of Gbg function viewed as a negative regulator of Ga signaling, and in greater detail, especially in the context of the G was thought to decrease the signal-to-noise ratio by protein heterotrimer (Smrcka, 2008; Lin and Smrcka, preventing spontaneous Ga activation in the absence of 2011) and GPCR signaling and ontogeny (Dupré et al., receptor stimulation [reviewed in Neer (1995)]. The 2006, 2009; Robitaille et al., 2009a). first evidence for a direct role of Gbg dimers in cellular signaling came in 1987, when it was shown that II.
