Function

Regulates G protein-coupled receptor signaling cascades. Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. Besides, modulates signal transduction via G protein alpha subunits by functioning as a GDP-dissociation inhibitor (GDI). Has GDI activity on G(i) alpha subunits GNAI1 and GNAI3, but not on GNAI2 and G(o)-alpha subunit GNAO1. Has GAP activity on GNAI0, GNAI2 and GNAI3. May act as a scaffold integrating G protein and Ras/Raf MAPkinase signaling pathways. Inhibits platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-stimulated ERK1/ERK2 phosphorylation; a process depending on its interaction with HRAS and that is reversed by G(i) alpha subunit GNAI1. Acts as a positive modulator of microtubule polymerisation and spindle organization through a G(i)-alpha-dependent mechanism. Plays a role in cell division. Required for the nerve growth factor (NGF)-mediated neurite outgrowth. Involved in stress resistance. May be involved in visual memory processing capacity and hippocampal-based learning and memory.

Activity summary

RGS14 also known as Regulator of G-protein Signaling 14 serves as a multifunctional scaffold protein that integrates G protein signaling pathways and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. It has a molecular weight of approximately 61 kDa. RGS14 is expressed mainly in the brain with high levels in the hippocampus region. It possesses a GoLoco domain two Ras-binding domains and a RGS domain which allows it to interact with various signaling molecules and regulate their activity.

Biological function summary

RGS14 regulates signal transduction by accelerating the GTPase activity of Gα subunits effectively shortening the duration of G protein signaling. It plays an essential role in modulating synaptic plasticity and memory performance. Researchers have demonstrated RGS14 participates in the regulation of cell signaling by forming complexes with various proteins. This function is particularly significant in the brain where it influences cognition and learning processes.

Pathways

RGS14 integrates into the MAPK and G-protein pathways affecting downstream signaling cascades. Within the G-protein pathway RGS14 interacts with other proteins like Gαi/o subunits to control signal strength and duration. In the MAPK pathway it links with components such as Ras and Raf modulating the signaling outputs essential for cellular responses. These pathways intersect at several points allowing RGS14 to serve as an important regulatory node.

Associated diseases and disorders

RGS14 has implications for neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. Researchers have noted its involvement in cognitive decline linked to Alzheimer's where it might alter interactions with proteins such as amyloid precursor protein (APP). In schizophrenia altered expression or function of RGS14 may affect neurotransmitter signaling in particular glutamatergic pathways involving N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors contributing to the disorder's pathology.
