The metabotropic glutamate receptor lot (mCluR1 alpha) is known to cause various cell responses via coupling with different types of G protein. By using a combination of fluorescent indicators, we simultaneously observed the dual signals of mGluR1 alpha, via activation of the Gq and Gs proteins, as increases in the intracellular Ca2+ and cAMP concentration, respectively. The dual signals are regulated by long C-terminal domain of mGluRloL since a short splice variant, mGluRIP, could not activate the Gs pathway. Cytoskeletal proteins that interact with the long C-terminal tail, such as homer1 and 4.1G, are known to modulate the mGluR1 alpha signaling; however, their effects on the dual signaling remain unknown. The simultaneous monitoring demonstrated that the 4.1G behaves as a regulator of dual signaling rather than a simple inhibitor, via its interaction with a cluster of acidic residues in the distal C-tail, which locates close to the important regions for the Gs coupling.
