3 Activators of G-protein Signaling GROUP I (GEF) (activate G i but not G s, G 16 in yeast functional assay) AGS1 - (RASD1, DexRas1)- ras-related protein GROUP II (GDI) (activate G i but not G s, G 16 in yeast functional assay) AGS3 - (Gpsm1) four GPR motifs AGS4 - (Gpsm3, G18.1b) - three GPR motifs AGS5 - (Gpsm2, LGN, mpins) - four GPR motifs AGS6 - (RGS12) - one GPR motif GROUP III Bind G AGS2 - (tctex-1) - light chain of cytoplasmic dynein AGS7 - (Trip13) AGS8 - KIAA1866 AGS9 - (Rpn10) - proteosome component AGS10 - (Go ) Group II AGS3 AGS4 AGS5 TPR GPR

9 Spatial learning and memory appear unaffected in AGS3 (Gpsm1) null mice Radial arm water maze

10 Redcutions in AGS3 expression in PFC or NAc blocks reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior in rats

11 Cocaine-induced locomotor sensitization in WT vs AGS3 (Gpsm1) null mice

12 Summary: Behavioral studies of AGS3 (Gpsm1) null mice AGS3 knockout mice are viable and fertile No obvious alterations in brain cellularity or morphology Initial behavioral testing revealed no obvious differences in motor coordination or in spatial learning and working memory Locomotor sensitization to cocaine is similar to wildtype mice Phase II phenotyping: Targeted disruption of AGS3 by tissue-specific or inducible Cre expression

21 Summary: GPCR regulation of AGS4 G i BRET AGS4 G i BRET signals are decreased by G i- linked GPCR activation This effect is blocked by antagonist and pertussis toxin Receptor activation may result in either dissociation or conformational rearrangement of a pre-formed AGS4 G i complex Agonist-induced translocation of AGS4 from membrane to cytosol suggests AGS4 G i dissociation Is the receptor directly interfacing with the AGS4 G i complex?

22 AGS4 G i complexes are proximal to GPCRs and agonist-sensitive AGS4-Rluc Rluc + 2A-AR-Venus Venus

23 AGS4 interacts with G i-linked GPCRs in a G i-dependent manner

24 Summary and Perspective G i G G i??? AGS4 - The interaction of AGS4 with G i as measured by BRET is robust, saturable and specific - Receptor activation results in a decrease in AGS4 G i BRET that is blocked by antagonist and PTX - AGS4 2A -AR BRET signals are G i-dependent and reduced by receptor activation; this effect is blocked by antagonist and PTX - The data suggest that the interaction of AGS4 with G i enhances the presence of AGS4 at the cell surface whereupon receptor activation then dissociates AGS4 from G i and the cell cortex and into the cytosol - The possibility that proteins like AGS4 with multiple GPR motifs may seed G complexes that interface with receptor provides an interesting alternative mechanism for signal processing through a GPCR
