G protein βγ subunits bind to and inhibit the function of multiple Qa- and Qb,c-SNARE isoforms.

Z. Zurawski, S. Huynh, A. Kaya, K. Hyde, H. E. Hamm, S. Alford

This study shows G protein βγ subunits bind to and inhibit multiple Qa- and Qb,c-SNARE isoforms, suggesting a broader role in regulating exocytosis beyond neurons.

Removing the Gβγ-SNAP25 brake on exocytosis enhances insulin action, promotes adipocyte browning, and protects against diet-induced obesity

R. P. Ceddia, Z. Zurawski, A. Thompson Gray, F. Adegboye, A. McDonald-Boyer, F. Shi, D. Liu, J. Maldonado, J. Feng, Y. Li, S. Alford, J. E. Ayala, O. P. McGuinness, S. Collins, H. E. Hamm

This paper shows that disrupting the Gβγ-SNAP25 interaction improves insulin action, promotes adipocyte browning, and protects against diet-induced obesity in mice.
