RESUMO
Transducin serves as a mediator between the receptor protein, rhodopsin, and the effector protein, cGMP phosphodiesterase, in the visual process. Transducin is a protein composed of three polypeptides T alpha, T beta, and T gamma, and acts as two functional units, the alpha-subunit and the beta gamma-complex. In the present study, I describe an efficient and fast method of purifying T alpha and T beta gamma using chromatography on a blue agarose column connected in tandem with an omega-amino octylagarose column. The recombination of T alpha and T beta gamma reconstitutes the functional heterotrimeric holoprotein, as demonstrated by the recovery of three native properties of transducin 1) its capacity to exchange guanine nucleotide, 2) its GTP hydrolytic activity, and 3) the ADP-ribosylation of T alpha catalysed by pertussis toxin
