G Protein Alpha i Inhibitor (Tat-GPR)

The Tat-GPR peptide was designed to functions as a guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (GDI) that selectively inhibits the Gαi subunit.

Highlights:

  • Based on a consensus sequence of the G protein regulatory (GPR) motif of AGS3 (also known as the GoLoco motif in RGS14)
  • Highly Selective – Inhibits Gα while stimulating the activation of Gβγ signaling; Common pertussis toxin (PTX) inhibition stabilizes the entire heterotrimer
  • Cell Permeable – Fused to portion the Tat (transactivator of transcription) HIV-1 protein
  • Fast Acting – Tat-GPR works in minutes, whereas PTX inhibitors require over-night incubations

Mechanistically, GDIs are well suited to pursue receptor pharmacology of Gαi versus Gβγ signaling and their specific roles in cell signaling and disease. The Tat-GPR peptide stabilizes the GDP-bound conformation of Gαi, prevents the binding of AGS3 to Gαi subunits, blocks receptor coupling to G-protein, and Tat-GPR has shown efficacy in an in vivo model of cocaine addiction and in vitro models of cancer. Tat-GPR peptide at 100nM suppresses α2-AR associated cAMP/Gαi activity in cell culture.
