Functional expression of cloned cDNA encoding the alpha-subunit of adenylate cyclase-stimulating G-protein

FEBS Lett. 1987 Jan 19;211(1):5-9. doi: 10.1016/0014-5793(87)81263-2.

Abstract

Cloned cDNA encoding the alpha-subunit of the adenylate cyclase-stimulating G-protein (Gs), carried by a simian virus 40 vector, has been introduced into the cyc- variant of S49 lymphoma cells by electroporation. In contrast to untransfected cys- cells, clones transformed with the cDNA exhibit an increase in intracellular cyclic AMP concentration in response to a beta-adrenergic agonist.
