Abstrakt: The role of the βγ-subunits in the interaction of G-proteins was examined with β 1-adrenoceptors purified from turkey erythrocytes and pure βγ-subunits prepared from turkey erythrocytes and bovine brain. On a non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel, the mobility of βγ-subunits was increased when incubated with β 1-adrenoceptor and the β 1-adrenergic agonist l-(−)-isoproterenol, whereas on incubation with the antagonist l-alprenolol the mobility was unchanged. Furthermore, the β 1-adrenoceptor was retarded on a Sephadex G-50 column equilibrated with βγ-subunits and agonist. No retardation occurred in the presence of antagonist. These data suggest a direct interaction of activated β 1-adrenoceptors with isolated βγ-subunits of G-proteins.
