The Gα subunits of the G12family of heterotrimeric G proteins, defined by Gα12 and Gα13, have many cellular functions in common, such as stress fiber formation and neurite retraction. However, a variety of G protein-coupled receptors appear to couple selectively to Gα12 and Gα13. For example, thrombin and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) have been shown to induce stress fiber formation via Gα12 and Gα13, respectively. We recently showed that active forms of Gα12 and Gα13 interact with Ser/Thr phosphatase type 5 through its tetratricopeptide repeat domain. Here we developed a novel assay to measure the activities of Gα12 and Gα13 by using glutathione S-transferase-fused tetratricopeptide repeat domain of Ser/Thr phosphatase type 5, taking advantage of the property that tetratricopeptide repeat domain strongly interacts with active forms of Gα12 and Gα13. By using this assay, we identified that thrombin and LPA selectively activate Gα12 and Gα13, respectively. Gα12 and Gα13 show a high amino acid sequence homology except for their N-terminal short sequences. Then we generated chimeric G proteins Gα12N/13C and Gα13N/12C, in which the N-terminal short sequences are replaced by each other, and showed that thrombin and LPA selectively activate Gα12N/13C and Gα13N/12C, respectively. Moreover, thrombin and LPA stimulate RhoA activity through Gα12 and Gα13, respectively, in a Gα12 family N-terminal sequence-dependent manner. Thus, N-terminal short sequences of the G12family determine the selective couplings of thrombin and LPA receptors to the Gα12 family.
