초록/해제  
요약G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a major class of membrane-spanning proteins that are vital for human life; as such, they are the most common target of FDA-approved drugs. Upon activation by extracellular stimuli, GPCRs initiate signaling pathways to convert the external signal into a cellular response. One key signaling mechanism employed by GPCRs is the activation of heterotrimeric G proteins (Gαβγ). Active-state GPCRs promote the release of guanosine-5'-diphosphate (GDP) from Gα subunits, which is quickly replaced with guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP). Conventionally, Gα-GTP adopts an active conformation and dissociates from Gβγ and the GPCR, which frees Gα-GTP and Gβγ to engage various signaling partners. The signaling partners of GTP-bound Gα subunits vary depending on whether the Gα subunit belongs to the Gαs/olf, Gαi/o, Gαq/11, or Gα12/13 subfamily. This dissertation is concerned with the signaling activities of Gαq subunits. Classically, Gαq-GTP remains at the plasma membrane, where it activates phospholipase C beta (PLCβ) isoforms and Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors (RhoGEFs). However, multiple studies have shown partial release of Gαq-GTP from the plasma membrane, particularly in the case of mutations that promote constitutive Gα, activation, such as Q209L. Despite this, the signaling partners for such intracellular Gαq-GTP are not defined. In addition, the interactome of Gαq-GTP has been pieced together over the past three decades from numerous targeted reports; thus, an unbiased, broad grasp of the total Gαq, interactome in intact cells is lacking. To address these deficiencies, the Smreka lab performed an unbiased characterization of the Gαq interactome in intact HEK293A cells via a proximity labeling proteomic screen. Using this approach, we identified many known Gαq-GTP interactors as preferentially enriched in HEK293A cells transfected with Gαq Q209L ("QL-enriched" proteins) compared to Gαq, WT. We also identified several QL-enriched proteins that are not known to interact with Gαq, and are associated with cellular processes that occur away from the plasma membrane. Subsequently, we selected one of these QL-enriched proteins, SMARCD3, and leveraged cell-based assays to show that this protein selectively interacts with Gαq, QL in a manner dependent on Gαq, QL release from the plasma membrane. Additionally, we employed in vitro GST pulldown assays to discover that SMARCD3 directly interacts with both Gαq-GDP and Gαq-GTP, with no preference for Gαq-GTP. Next, we sought to discern the cellular responses that may be regulated by Gαq's interaction with SMARCD3 (Gαq-SMARCD3). To begin, we pinpointed the localization of endogenous SMARCD3 in unperturbed HEK293A cells with fractionation experiments. SMARCD3 was primarily detected in the nuclear fraction. Then, we utilized in vitro and cell-based assays to show that SMARCD3 does not regulate conventional Gαq, signaling, which is likely due to the delayed timecourse of Gαq-SMARCD3 relative to other Gαq interactors. Finally, we unsuccessfully attempted to elucidate the impact of Gαq-SMARCD3 on gene expression. Our findings reveal previously unknown interactions between Gαq QL and proteins involved in nuclear processes such as chromatin remodeling and mRNA splicing. Moreover, our results suggest that intracellular Gαq QL interacts with a distinct pool of effectors, including SMARCD3, to achieve potentially unique signaling outcomes, which may be involved in uveal melanoma and other pathologies driven by constitutively active Gαq, signaling. Finally, our results underscore the need for further investigation of the intracellular functions of Gα subunits.
