Calcium mobilization by Gi-coupled GPCRs has been perceived as a stand-alone signaling mechanism for almost 30 years. Here, Pfeil et al. report the unexpected discovery that this quintessential biological process does not occur without, and totally depends on, the heterotrimeric G protein subunit Gαq in the living cell context.

Abstract

Calcium mobilization by Gi-coupled GPCRs has been perceived as a stand-alone signaling mechanism for almost 30 years. Here, Pfeil et al. report the unexpected discovery that this quintessential biological process does not occur without, and totally depends on, the heterotrimeric G protein subunit Gαq in the living cell context.
