cDNA cloning has identified the presence in the human genome of three genes encoding alpha subunits of pertussis toxin substrates, generically called "Gi." They are named alpha i-1, alpha i-2 and alpha i-3. However, none of these genes has been functionally identified with any of the alpha subunits of several possible G proteins, including pertussis toxin-sensitive Gp's, stimulatory to phospholipase C or A2, Gi, inhibitory to adenylyl cyclase, or Gk, stimulatory to a type of K+ channels. We now report the nucleotide sequence and the complete predicted amino acid sequence of human liver alpha i-3 and the partial amino acid sequence of proteolytic fragments of the alpha subunit of human erythrocyte Gk. The amino acid sequence of the proteolytic fragment is uniquely encoded by the cDNA of alpha i-3, thus identifying it as alpha k. The probable identity of alpha i-1 with alpha p and possible roles for alpha i-2, as well as additional roles for alpha i-1 and alpha i-3 (alpha k) are discussed.
