Published under license by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important modulators of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), essential for maintaining energy homeostasis. Here, we investigated the role of Gβ5-R7, a protein complex consisting of the atypical G protein β subunit Gβ5 and a regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) of the R7 family. Using the mouse insulinoma MIN6 cell line and pancreatic islets, we investigated the effects of G protein subunit β 5 (Gnb5) knockout on insulin secretion. Consistent with previous work, the Gnb5 knockout diminished insulin secretion evoked by the muscarinic cholinergic agonist Oxo-M. We found that the Gnb5 knockout also attenuated activities of other GPCR agonists, including ADP, arginine vasopressin (AVP), glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), and forskolin, and surprisingly, the response to high glucose. Experiments with MIN6 cells cultured at different densities provided evidence that the Gnb5 knockout eliminated the stimulatory effect of cell adhesion on Oxo-M stimulated GSIS; this effect likely involved the adhesion GPCR GPR56. The Gnb5 knockout did not influence cortical actin depolymerization, but affected protein kinase C activity, and the 14-3-3ε substrate. Importantly, Gnb5 -/- islets or MIN6 cells had normal total insulin content and released normal insulin amounts in response to K+-evoked membrane depolarization. These results indicate that Gβ5-R7 plays a role in the insulin secretory pathway downstream of signaling via all GPCRs and glucose. We propose that the Gβ5-R7 complex regulates a phosphoryl
