The effect of monovalent cations on trimeric G protein Gi1alfa was measured at equimolar concentration of chloride anion in pertussis-toxin (PTX)-treated HEK293 cells stably expressing PTX-insensitive DOR-Gi1alfa (Cys351-Ile351) fusion protein by high-affinity [35S]GTPgamaS binding assay. The high basal level of binding was detected in absence of DOR agonist and monovalent ions and this high level was inhibited with the order of: Naplus je větší než Kplus je větší nez Liplus. The inhibition by monovalent ions was reversed by increasing concentrations of DOR agonist DADLE. The maximum DADLE response was also highest for sodium and decreased in the order of: Naplus je větší než Kplus rovná se Liplus. Our data indicate i) an inherently high activity of trimeric G protein Gi1alfa when expressed within DOR-Gi1alfa fusion protein and determined in the absence of monovalent cations, ii) preferential sensitivity of DOR-Gi1alfa to sodium as far as maximum of agonist response is involved
