Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) domain superfamily; The RGS domain is an essential part of the Regulator of G-protein Signaling (RGS) protein family, a diverse group of multifunctional proteins that regulate cellular signaling events downstream of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). RGS proteins play critical regulatory roles as GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) of the heterotrimeric G-protein G-alpha-subunits. While inactive, G-alpha-subunits bind GDP, which is released and replaced by GTP upon agonist activation. GTP binding leads to dissociation of the alpha-subunit and the beta-gamma-dimer, allowing them to interact with effectors molecules and propagate signaling cascades associated with cellular growth, survival, migration, and invasion. Deactivation of the G-protein signaling controlled by the RGS domain accelerates GTPase activity of the alpha subunit by hydrolysis of GTP to GDP, which results in the reassociation of the alpha-subunit with the beta-gamma-dimer and thereby inhibition of downstream activity. As a major G-protein regulator, RGS domain containing proteins are involved in many crucial cellular processes such as regulation of intracellular trafficking, glial differentiation, embryonic axis formation, skeletal and muscle development, and cell migration during early embryogenesis. RGS proteins are also involved in apoptosis and cell proliferation, as well as modulation of cardiac development. Several RGS proteins can fine-tune immune responses, while others play important roles in neuronal signals modulation. Some RGS proteins are principal elements needed for proper vision.

RGS4 is expressed widely in brain including prefrontal cortex, striatum, locus coeruleus (LC), and hippocampus and has been implicated in regulation of opioid, cholinergic, and serotonergic signaling. Dysfunctions in RGS4 proteins are involved in etiology of Parkinson's disease, addiction, and schizophrenia. RGS4 also is up-regulated in the failing human heart. RGS4 interacts with many binding partners outside of GPCR pathways, including calmodulin, COP, Kir3, PIP, calcium/CaM, PA, ErbB3, and 14-3-3.

Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) domain found in the RGS13 protein; The RGS (Regulator of G-protein Signaling) domain is an essential part of the RGS13 protein. RGS13 is member of the R4/RGS subfamily of the RGS family, a diverse group of multifunctional proteins that regulate cellular signaling events downstream of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). RGS proteins play critical regulatory roles as GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) of the heterotrimeric G-protein G-alpha subunits. The RGS domain controls G-protein signaling by accelerating the GTPase activity of the G-alpha subunit which leads to G protein deactivation and promotes desensitization. As a major G-protein regulator, RGS domain containing proteins are involved in many crucial cellular processes such as regulation of intracellular trafficking, glial differentiation, embryonic axis formation, skeletal and muscle development, and cell migration during early embryogenesis. RGS13 is predominantly expressed in T and B lymphocytes and in mast cells, and plays a role in adaptive immune responses. RGS13 also found in Rgs13, which is also expressed in dendritic cells and in neuroendocrine cells of the thymus, gastrointestinal, and respiratory tracts. Outside of the GPCR pathway, RGS5 interacts with the PIP3 protein.

Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) domain found in the RGS11 protein; The RGS (Regulator of G-protein Signaling) domain is an essential part of the RGS11 protein, a member of R7 subfamily of the RGS protein family. RGS is a diverse group of multifunctional proteins that regulate cellular signaling events downstream of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). As a major G-protein regulator, RGS domain containing proteins are involved in many crucial cellular processes such as regulation of intracellular trafficking, glial differentiation, embryonic axis formation, skeletal and muscle development, and cell migration during early embryogenesis. Other members of the R7 subfamily (Neuronal RGS) include: RGS6, RGS7, and RGS9, all of which are expressed predominantly in the nervous system, form an obligatory complex with G-beta-5, and play important roles in the regulation of crucial neuronal processes such as vision and motor control. Additionally they have been implicated in many neurological conditions such as anxiety, schizophrenia, and drug dependence. RGS11 is expressed exclusively in retinal ON-bipolar neurons in which it forms complexes with G-beta-5 and R7AP (RGS7 anchor protein ) and plays crucial roles in processing the light responses of retinal neurons.

Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) domain found in the RGS6 protein; The RGS (Regulator of G-protein Signaling) domain is an essential part of the RGS6 protein, a member of R7 subfamily of the RGS protein family. RGS is a diverse group of multifunctional proteins that regulate cellular signaling events downstream of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs).

Additionally they have been implicated in many neurological conditions such as anxiety, schizophrenia, and drug dependence. RGS6 exists in multiple splice isoforms with identical RGS domains, but possess complete or incomplete GGL domains and distinct N- and C-terminal domains. RGS6 interacts with SCG10, a neuronal growth-associated protein and therefore regulates neuronal differentiation. Another RGS6-binding protein is DMAP1, a component of the Dnmt1 complex involved in repression of newly replicated genes. Mutations of a critical residue required for interaction of RGS6 protein with G proteins did not affect the ability of RGS6 to interact with both SCG10 and DMAP1. As a major G-protein regulator, RGS domain containing proteins are involved in many crucial cellular processes such as regulation of intracellular trafficking, glial differentiation, embryonic axis formation, skeletal and muscle development, and cell migration during early embryogenesis.

RGS12 belong to the R12 RGS subfamily, which includes RGS10 and RGS14, all of which are highly selective for G-alpha-i1 over G-alpha-q. RGS12 exist in multiple splice variants: RGS12s (short) contains the core RGS/RBD/GoLoco domains, while RGS12L (long) has additional N-terminal PDZ and PTB domains. RGS12 splice variants show distinct expression patterns, suggesting that they have discrete functions during mouse embryogenesis. RGS12 also may play a critical role in coordinating Ras-dependent signals that are required for promoting and maintaining neuronal differentiation.

They are a diverse group of multifunctional proteins that regulate cellular signaling events downstream of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). RGS proteins regulate many aspects of embryonic development such as glial differentiation, embryonic axis formation, skeletal and muscle development, cell migration during early embryogenesis, as well as apoptosis, cell proliferation, and modulation of cardiac development. The RGS-domain of SNX13 plays a major role through attenuation of Galphas-mediated signaling and regulates endocytic trafficking and degradation of the epidermal growth factor receptor. Snx13-null mice were embryonic lethal around midgestation which supports an essential role for SNX13 in mouse development and regulation of endocytosis dynamics.
