Phosducin-like protein (PhLP) is a broadly
expressed member of the phosducin (Pd) family of G protein
Regulation of Angiotensin II-induced G Protein Signaling by
Phosducin-like Protein*

subunit (G
)-binding proteins. Though PhLP has been shown to bind
G
in vitro, little is known about its physiological
function. In the present study, the effect of PhLP on angiotensin II
(Ang II) signaling was measured in Chinese hamster ovary cells
expressing the type 1 Ang II receptor and various amounts of PhLP. Up
to 3.6-fold overexpression of PhLP had no effect on Ang II-stimulated
inositol trisphosphate (IP3) formation, whereas further
increases caused an abrupt decrease in IP3 production with
half-maximal inhibition occurring at 6-fold PhLP overexpression. This
threshold level for inhibition corresponds to the cellular
concentration of cytosolic chaperonin complex, a recently described
binding partner that preferentially binds PhLP over G
. Results of
pertussis toxin sensitivity, GTP
S binding, and immunoprecipitation
experiments suggest that PhLP inhibits phospholipase C
activation by
dual mechanisms: (i) steric blockage of G
activation of PLC
and (ii) interference with G
-dependent cycling of
Gq
by the receptor. These results suggest that G
protein signaling may be regulated through controlling the cellular
concentration of free PhLP by inducing its expression or by
regulating its binding to the chaperonin.
