Abstract

The present study investigated the cellular localization of a-subunit of Gq (Gaq) protein in developing L8E63, rat skeletal muscle cell line. The colocalization of Gaq with actin cytoskeleton was demonstrated by double-labeling experiments. In mononucleated myoblasts, the immuno-fluorescence staining pattern of Gaq was almost identical with that of F-actin visualized with rhodamine-conjugated phalloidin. However, this colocalization of Gaq with cytoskeleton was not maintained in multinucleated myotubes. The staining pattern of Gaq in myotubes did not match with any specific subcellular structure, but appeared as a uniformly distributed diffuse staining throughout the whole cell surface. Interestingly, change in the expression level of Gaq was not detected during myoblast differentiation, suggesting that actin-associated Gaq protein might dissociate from the cytoskeleton as cells differentiate. Immunocytochemical experiments using specific antibodies directed against several G proteins indicated that the subcellular localizations of Gai1, Gai2, Gai3, and Gao were different from those obtained with Gaq.
