    motifs/domains
  • N-terminal region is a novel G protein-interacting domain that may have distinct regulatory effects within the G(i/o) subfamily, and thus, it could potentially play a role in differentiating signals between these related G proteins
  • three G-protein regulatory motifs downstream of an amino terminus domain with multiple prolines
  • two GoLoco motifs to exert GDP dissociation inhibitor activity over Galpha(i) subunits
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Gpsm3

    basic FUNCTION
  • having GTPase activator activity
  • GPSM3 acts as a direct negative regulator of NLRP3 function
  • is a regulator of G protein-coupled receptor signaling, with expression restricted to leukocytes and lymphoid organs
  • potential role for GPSM3 in the development of inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, most likely through a key regulatory role on leukocyte chemotaxis to the synovium

    protein
  • GPSM3 also interacts directly with numerous members of the 14-3-3 protein family, and this interaction is dependent on GPSM3 phosphorylation
  • GPSM3 is a NLRP3-interacting protein and a negative regulator of IL1B production triggered by NLRP3-dependent inflammasome activators
  • binding of GPSM3 to RGS5 appears to be selective as no interactions were detected with other RGS proteins
