Abstract
Background: RGS7 and RGS9-2 regulate G protein signaling in the striatum, but the selectivity of their action is largely unknown. Results: RGS protein complexes show distinct patterns of receptor and G protein selectivity. Conclusion: Macromolecular composition dictates receptor and G protein selectivity of the RGS7 and RGS9-2 protein complexes. Significance: These data demonstrate novel mechanisms contributing to the regulation of striatal G protein signaling. © 2013 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
