G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling is the most prevalent signaling motif in cells. The basic pathway consists of a GPCR molecule that, once stimulated, goes on to activate a G protein, which in turn typically activates an effector enzyme to produce a cellular function. One long-standing concept about GPCR signaling, originating from a study in rod phototransduction turned into textbook dogma, is high amplification; namely, a large number of downstream G protein molecules are activated by one GPCR molecule. Our findings here from mammalian olfactory transduction now indicate that this amplification is less than unity even for a well-matched odorant/receptor complex. Thus, rod phototransduction is possibly unusual and not necessarily representative of ligand-triggered GPCR signaling generally. G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling is ubiquitous. As an archetype of this signaling motif, rod phototransduction has provided many fundamental, quantitative details, including a dogma that one active GPCR molecule activates a substantial number of downstream G protein/enzyme effector complexes. However, rod phototransduction is light-activated, whereas GPCR pathways are predominantly ligand-activated. Here, we report a detailed study of the ligand-triggered GPCR pathway in mammalian olfactory transduction, finding that an odorant-receptor molecule when (one-time) complexed with its most effective odorants produces on average much less than one downstream effector. Further experiments gave a nominal success probability of tentatively ∼10−4 (more conservatively, ∼10−2 to ∼10−5). This picture is potentially more generally representative of GPCR signaling than is rod phototransduction, constituting a paradigm shift.
