We have isolated a gene coding for a G protein alpha subunit from the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana. This gene, named GPA1, was isolated by using a DNA probe generated by polymerase chain reaction based on protein sequences from mammalian and yeast G protein alpha subunits. The sequences of genomic and cDNA clones indicate that GPA1 has 14 exons, and the deduced amino acid sequence shows that the GPA1 gene product (GP alpha 1) has 383 amino acid residues (44,582 Da). The GP alpha 1 protei ...[more]
