Answer #1

G protein binds to GTP or GDP. G Protein attach with GPCR ( G protein coupled receptor) are trimeric protein .

This is made up of 3 subunit alpha, beta and gamma.

When all three units are together they are in inactivated state. Here GDP is bind with alpha subunit and remain in inactive form. When a ligand binds to GPCR it cause displacement of GDP with GTP of alpha subunit. This cause sepration of alpha subunit from beta and gamma subunit. This GTP bind alpha subunit is active subunit which activate enzyme cascade and lead to action in cell.

When signal is removed GTP subunit is hydrolyzed by intrinsic GTPase activity of alpha subunit. This alpha again bind to beta gamma subunit and lead to termination of signal.

The mechanism showing the process has been attached below .
