Revised Manuscript Received April 11, 1994® abstract: Azidoanilido-GTP (AA-GTP), a hydrolysis-resistant, photoreactive GTP analog, is becoming an increasingly popular tool for identifying activation of specific G proteins by receptors within native plasma membranes. Despite the use of AA-GTP as an affinity probe, surprisingly little is known regarding the ability of various G protein a subunits to bind this analog. Todirectly address this issue, we compared the ability of four purified G protein a subunits (Go, Gi2, Gs, and Gz) to bind AA-GTP with their ability to bind GTP7S, a GTP analog commonly used to characterize the GTP-binding properties of G proteins. All fourGa subunitstested bound AA-GTP in a manner distinct from their binding of GTPyS. One of these proteins, Gsa, required millimolar levels of free Mg2+ for significant binding of AA-GTP, while Goa and Gia2 displayed peak AA-GTP binding at approximately 100 pM free Mg2+. The fourth Ga subunit, Gz, bound AA-GTP very poorly relative to GTP7S regardless of the magnesium concentration. These results indicatethat individual G protein a subunits differ markedlyin their ability to bind AA-GTP. Use of AA-GTP to identify specific G protein-receptor interactions must therefore take into account the varied abilities of Ga subunitsto bind this analog.
