Ligand binding to G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs), such as the α2a-adrenergic receptor (α2aAR), results in the activation of heterotrimeric G proteins, which consist of functionally distinct Gα subunits and Gβγ dimers. α2aAR-dependent inhibition of synaptic transmission regulates functions such as spontaneous locomotor activity, anesthetic sparing, and working memory enhancement and requires the solubleNSFattachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex, a Gβγ effector. To understand how the Gβγ-SNARE complex underlies the α2aAR-dependent inhibition of synaptic transmission, we examined the specificity of Gβγ subunits for the SNARE complex in adrenergic neurons, in which auto-α2aARs respond to epinephrine released from these neurons, and nonadrenergic neurons, in which hetero-α2aARs respond to epinephrine released from other neurons. We performed a quantitative, targeted multiple reaction monitoring proteomic analysis of Gβ and Gγ subunits bound to the SNARE complex in synaptosomes from mouse brains. In the absence of stimulation of auto-α2aARs, Gβ1and Gγ3interacted with the SNARE complex. However, Gβ1, Gβ2, and Gγ3were found in the complex when auto-α2aARs were activated by epinephrine. Further understanding of the specific usage of distinct Gβγ subunits in vivo may provide insights into the homeostatic regulation of synaptic transmission and the mechanisms of dysfunction that occur in neurological diseases.
