Two GTP-binding proteins serving as the specific substrate of islet-activating protein (IAP), pertussis toxin, were purified from human platelet membranes as heterotrimers with an alpha beta gamma-subunit structure. The alpha of the major IAP substrate had a molecular mass of 40 kDa and differed from that of Gi 1 or Go previously purified from brain membranes. The partial amino acid sequences of the 40 kDa alpha completely matched with the sequences which were deduced from the nucleotide sequences of the human Gi 2 alpha gene. On the other hand, the alpha of the minor IAP substrate purified from human platelets was about 41 kDa and cross-reacted with an antibody raised against alpha of brain Gi 1 (Gi 1 alpha). These results indicate that the major IAP substrate present in human platelet membranes is a product of the Gi 2 alpha gene.
