Interacting Proteins
Name Effect References
SCG10 (superior cervical ganglia, neural specific 10) RGS20 blocks SCG10-induced microtubule disassembly in a dose dependent manner in vitro. RGS20 does not block SCG10 mediated microtubule assembly. SCG10 has no effect on RGS20 GAP activity. 20
PKCI-1 (protein kinase C interacting protein) Exact consequences unknown, however cotransfection of PKCI-1 and RGS20 blocked DAMGO mediated inhibition of cAMP formation upon forskolin treatment. This result was of greater extent than either protein alone, perhaps indicating some scaffolding arrangement which promotes regulation of μ-opiod receptor signaling. 1
14-3-3 proteins Interaction was noted however not fully explored. Several theories were postulated. For example, 14-3-3-ζ inhibits PKCα phosphorylation of Gαz, so binding to RGS20 may serve as a scaffold to help regulate Gαz signaling. At the same time it was noted that 14-3-3 actually interferes with Gαi/o interactions in the case of RGS7. More work needs to be done. 1
GIPN (GAIP interacting protein N terminus) Identified in a yeast teo screen for GAIP, and confirmed to bind to all RZ family members including RGS20. Exact consequence of binding still needs to be determined, however GIPN was found to decrease the half-life of Gαi3 when overexpressed. Knockdown of RZ family members needs to be performed to determine if GIPN still regulates Gαi3 in the absence of RGS. 6

Associated Protein Comments
PKCI-1 and GIPN exclusilvely interact with the poly cysteine string region of RGS20. SGC10 primarily interacts with the poly cyteine string region but shows some pulldown with the RGS domain. 14-3-3 interacts with the RGS domain region and not the poly cysteine string.
Inhibitor Comments
WAY-243 inhibits RGS20-mediated acceleration of GTP hydrolysis by Gαz in a single turnover GTPase assay (IC50 50 μM) [26].
