Supplementary information

RIC8A also known as Synembryn-A is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that plays an important mechanical role in cellular signaling. It catalyzes the exchange of GDP for GTP on G protein alpha subunits activating them. RIC8A weighs approximately 60 kDa and is mainly cytoplasmic. Researchers have identified its expression in several tissues such as the brain heart and lungs indicating a wide pattern of activity in the body.

Biological function summary

RIC8A is involved in intracellular signaling and regulation of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) pathways. It does not directly form part of a stable complex but interacts transiently with heterotrimeric G proteins during activation. Through these interactions RIC8A influences processes such as neurotransmitter release cell division and hormone secretion. It also affects synaptic signals and is important for proper brain function.

Pathways

RIC8A plays a significant role in the Wnt signaling and synaptic transmission pathways. It operates by interacting with GPCR-related proteins like G-alpha subunits which are coupled later to downstream effectors. In the Wnt signaling pathway RIC8A supports signal propagation critical for cell fate determination. The synaptic transmission pathway further benefits from RIC8A's role in modulating neurotransmitter release making it essential for neural communication.

Researchers have linked RIC8A dysfunction to various neurological disorders and cancer. Abnormal RIC8A function can contribute to conditions like epilepsy and certain types of tumor growth owing to its role in cell signaling and division. The interaction of RIC8A with proteins like G-alpha subunits and components of the Wnt signaling pathway highlights its involvement in these diseases. Such associations suggest potential therapeutic target opportunities for addressing these complex conditions.

Target data

Chaperone that specifically binds and folds nascent G alpha proteins prior to G protein heterotrimer formation, promoting their stability and activity : folds GNAI1, GNAO1, GNA13 and GNAQ (By similarity). Does not fold G(s) G-alpha proteins GNAS nor GNAL (By similarity). Also acts as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for G alpha proteins by stimulating exchange of bound GDP for free GTP (By similarity). Involved in regulation of microtubule pulling forces during mitotic movement of chromosomes by stimulating G(i)-alpha protein (GNAI1), possibly leading to release G(i)-alpha-GTP and NuMA proteins from the NuMA-GPSM2-G(i)-alpha-GDP complex (By similarity). Also acts as an activator for G(q)-alpha (GNAQ) protein by enhancing the G(q)-coupled receptor-mediated ERK activation (PubMed : 16629901).
