Disease relevance of GNAO1

  • Pertussis toxin (PTX)-activated ADP-ribosylations of G alpha i and G alpha o were enhanced by approximately 80% in membranes from bipolar compared with control brains, suggesting an increase in the levels of the trimeric state of these G proteins in bipolar disorder [1].
  • No difference in G alpha o mRNA levels or in the relative expression of G alpha s between bromocriptine sensitive and bromocriptine resistant prolactinomas was observed [2].
 

High impact information on GNAO1

  • Immunoblot analyses showed increases in the levels of membrane 45- and 52-kDa G alpha S proteins but no changes in the amounts of G alpha i, G alpha o, G alpha Z, G alpha q/11, or G beta proteins in membrane or cytosol fractions of bipolar brain homogenates [1].
  • Serotonin-induced, magnesium-dependent reduction in PTX-mediated ADP-ribosylation of G alpha i/G alpha o in cortical membranes from bipolar brains was greater than that observed in controls, providing further evidence for enhanced receptor-G protein coupling in bipolar brain membranes [1].
  • In subjects aged 19 to 100 y, decreased levels of G alpha q and G alpha o were significantly correlated with increased age, but levels of the other G-protein subunits did not vary [3].
  • Cell membranes contain two pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding protein alpha-subunits (G alpha) whose Rf values in gel electrophoresis coincide with those of G alpha o and G alpha i2 [4].
  • The expression of the neuropeptide Y receptor Y1 gene (NPY1R localized at 4q31.3-q32) and the human guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein Go-alpha (GNAO1 localized at 16q13) was significantly decreased in individuals with schizophrenia compared to unaffected family controls by microarray and real-time PCR [5].
 

Biological context of GNAO1

 

Anatomical context of GNAO1

 

Other interactions of GNAO1

  • Direct analysis of the genes encoding G proteins G alpha T2, G alpha o, G alpha Z in ADHD [9].
  • In the same brains, similar negative, although non-significant, correlations were found between the levels of PKC-alpha beta and those of G alpha o, G alpha s and G beta [10].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of GNAO1

  • An ELISA assay using selective antibodies was used to measure [35S]GTP gamma S binding to G alpha o and G alpha i1 [3].
  • In contrast, microinjection of nonimmune IgG or an antibody directed against the C terminus of G alpha o did not reduce the mitogenic response to thrombin [11].
