Which type of experimental evidence shows that the intrinsic GTPase activity of the Gα subunit is important for terminating effector activation?
A) A nonhydrolyzable GTP analog that can bind to the Gα subunit but cannot be hydrolyzed by the intrinsic GTPase,thereby activating the effector protein longer upon ligand-induced activation of the receptor.
B) A nonhydrolyzable GTP analog causes displacement of GDP with the modified GTP resulting in continuous activation of the receptor because the bound GTP analog cannot be hydrolyzed to GDP.
C) A dominant active (constant activity) GEF causes stimulation of the effector protein for longer upon ligand-induced activation of the receptor.
D) A dominant negative (no activity) GEF causes stimulation of the effector protein for longer upon ligand-induced activation of the receptor.
