Abstract
A guanine nucleotide-binding protein purified from turkey erythrocytes by affinity chromatography confers both F— and guanine nucleotide-stimulation of adenylate cyclase to membranes from CYC- cells, a mutant cell line deficient in these responses. Interaction of turkey erythrocyte membranes with beta-adrenergic agonists before affinity chromatography, which is essential for binding of the guanine nucleotide regulatory protein to the affinity matrix, was also required for recovery of F—stimulation restoring activity in the affinity eluate.
