The present study was designed to obtain evidence for direct interactions of G-protein alpha (G alpha) and beta gamma subunits (G beta gamma) with N- (alpha(1B)) and P/Q-type (alpha(1A)) Ca2+ channels, using synthetic peptides and fusion proteins derived from loop 1 (cytoplasmic loop between repeat I and II) and the C terminus of these channels. For N-type, prepulse facilitation as mediated by G beta gamma was impaired when a synthetic loop 1 peptide was applied intracellulary. Receptor agonist-induced inhibition of N-type as mediated by G alpha was also impaired by the loop 1 peptide but only when applied in combination with a C-terminal peptide. For P/Q-type channels, by contrast, the G alpha-mediated inhibition was diminished by application of a C-terminal peptide alone. Moreover, in vitro binding analysis for N- and P/Q-type channels revealed direct interaction of G alpha with C-terminal fusion proteins as well as direct interaction of G beta gamma with loop 1 fusion proteins. These findings define loop 1 of N- and P/Q-type Ca2+ channels as an interaction site for G beta gamma and the C termini for G alpha.
