Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) domain found in the RGS20 protein; The RGS (Regulator of G-protein Signaling) domain is an essential part of the RGS20 protein (also known as RGSZ1), a member of the RZ subfamily of the RGS protein family. They are a diverse group of multifunctional proteins that regulate cellular signaling events downstream of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). RGS proteins play critical regulatory roles as GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) of the heterotrimeric G-protein G-alpha-subunits. Deactivation of G-protein signaling is controlled by the RGS domain, which accelerates GTPase activity of the alpha subunit by hydrolysis of GTP to GDP resulting in reassociation of the alpha-subunit with the beta-gamma-dimer and inhibition of downstream activity. As a major G-protein regulator, the RGS domain containing proteins are involved in many crucial cellular processes such as regulation of intracellular trafficking, glial differentiation, embryonic axis formation, skeletal and muscle development, and cell migration during early embryogenesis. The RZ subfamily of RGS proteins include RGS17, RGS19 (former GAIP), and the splice variant of RGS20, Ret-RGS. RGS20 is expressed exclusively in brain, with the highest concentrations in the temporal lobe and the caudate nucleus and may play a role in signaling regulation in these brain regions. RGS20 acts as a GAP of both G-alpha-z and G-alpha-I and controls signaling in the mu opioid receptor pathway.

Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) domain found in the RGS6 protein; The RGS (Regulator of G-protein Signaling) domain is an essential part of the RGS6 protein, a member of R7 subfamily of the RGS protein family. RGS is a diverse group of multifunctional proteins that regulate cellular signaling events downstream of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Other members of the R7 subfamily (Neuronal RGS) include: RGS7, RGS9, and RGS11, all of which are expressed predominantly in the nervous system, form an obligatory complex with G-beta-5, and play important roles in the regulation of crucial neuronal processes such as vision and motor control. Additionally they have been implicated in many neurological conditions such as anxiety, schizophrenia, and drug dependence. RGS6 exists in multiple splice isoforms with identical RGS domains, but possess complete or incomplete GGL domains and distinct N- and C-terminal domains. RGS6 interacts with SCG10, a neuronal growth-associated protein and therefore regulates neuronal differentiation. Another RGS6-binding protein is DMAP1, a component of the Dnmt1 complex involved in repression of newly replicated genes. Mutations of a critical residue required for interaction of RGS6 protein with G proteins did not affect the ability of RGS6 to interact with both SCG10 and DMAP1. As a major G-protein regulator, RGS domain containing proteins are involved in many crucial cellular processes such as regulation of intracellular trafficking, glial differentiation, embryonic axis formation, skeletal and muscle development, and cell migration during early embryogenesis.

Additionally they have been implicated in many neurological conditions such as anxiety, schizophrenia, and drug dependence. RGS9 forms constitutive complexes with G-beta-5 subunit and controls such fundamental functions as vision and behavior. RGS9 exists in two splice isoforms: RGS9-1 which regulates phototransduction in rods and cones and RGS9-2 which regulates dopamine and opioid signaling in the basal ganglia. In addition, RGS9 was found to bind many other proteins outside of G protein signaling pathways including: mu-opioid receptor, beta-arrestin, alpha-actinin-2, NMDAR, polycystin, spinophilin, and guanylyl cyclase, among others.

Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) domain found in the Axin protein; The RGS (Regulator of G-protein Signaling) domain is an essential part of the Axin protein. Axin is a member of the RA/RGS subfamily of the RGS protein family, a diverse group of multifunctional proteins that regulate cellular signaling events downstream of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). As a major G-protein regulator, RGS domain containing proteins are involved in many crucial cellular processes such as regulation of intracellular trafficking, glial differentiation, embryonic axis formation, skeletal and muscle development, and cell migration during early embryogenesis. RGS proteins regulate many aspects of embryonic development such as glial differentiation, embryonic axis formation, and skeletal and muscle development. The RGS domain of Axin is specifically interacts with the heterotrimeric G-alpha12 protein, but not with closely related G-alpha13, and provides a unique tool to regulate G-alpha12-mediated signaling processes. The RGS domain of Axin also interacts with the tumor suppressor protein APC (Adenomatous Polyposis Coli) in order to control the cytoplasmic level of the proto-oncogene, beta-catenin.
