A novel gain‐of‐function mutation, R243Q, has been recently identified in theCandida elegansGqα protein EGL‐30. The position corresponding to Arg243 in EGL‐30 is absolutely conserved among heterotrimeric G proteins. This mutation appears to be the first gain‐of‐function mutation in the switch III region of Gα subunits. To investigate consequences of the R→Q mutation we introduced the corresponding R238Q mutation into transducin‐like Gtα* subunit. The mutant retained intact interactions with Gtβγ and rhodopsin but exhibited a twofold reduction in the kcatvalue for guanosine 5'‐triphosphate (GTP) hydrolysis. The GTPase activity of R238Q was not accelerated by the RGS domain of the visual GTPase‐activating protein, RGS9‐1. In addition, R238Q displayed a significant impairment in the effector function. Our data and the crystal structures of transducin suggest that the major reason for the reduced intrinsic GTPase activity of R238Q and the lack of RGS9 function is the break of the conserved ionic contact between Arg238 and Glu39, which apparently stabilizes the transitional state for GTP hydrolysis. We hypothesize that the R243Q mutation in EGL‐30 severs the ionic interaction of Arg243 with Glu43, leading to a defective inactivation of the mutant by theC. elegansRGS protein EAT‐16.
