7 Heterotrimeric G Proteins

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume III))

Abstract

A major system used by eukaryotic organisms to sense and respond to environmental stimuli involves heterotrimeric G-proteins and their cognate membrane-bound receptors, known as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). This chapter introduces the components of heterotrimeric G-protein-mediated signaling and highlights the effector pathways downstream of the receptors. Also, the cellular functions that are regulated are presented, which include, but are not limited to, nutrient sensing, mating and pheromone response, and pathogenesis.
