The heterotrimeric G proteins, G(12) and G(13), are closely related in their sequences, signaling partners, and cellular effects such as oncogenic transformation and cytoskeletal reorganization. Yet G(12) and G(13) can act through different pathways, bind different proteins, and show opposing actions on some effectors. We investigated the compartmentalization of G(12) and G(13) at the membrane because other G proteins reside in lipid rafts, membrane microdomains enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids. Lipid rafts were isolated after cold, nonionic detergent extraction of cells and gradient centrifugation. Galpha(12) was in the lipid raft fractions, whereas Galpha(13) was not associated with lipid rafts. Mutation of Cys-11 on Galpha(12), which prevents its palmitoylation, partially shifted Galpha(12) from the lipid rafts. Geldanamycin treatment, which specifically inhibits Hsp90, caused a partial loss of wild-type Galpha(12) and a complete loss of the Cys-11 mutant from the lipid rafts and the appearance of a higher molecular weight form of Galpha(12) in the soluble fractions. These results indicate that acylation and Hsp90 interactions localized Galpha(12) to lipid rafts. Hsp90 may act as both a scaffold and chaperone to maintain a functional Galpha(12) only in discrete membrane domains and thereby explain some of the nonoverlapping functions of G(12) and G(13) and control of these potent cell regulators.
