Abstract
Heterotrimeric G proteins have traditionally been thought to transduce signals at the plasma membrane. In this issue, Slessareva et al. (2006) now show that a G protein alpha subunit acts at the endosome to stimulate a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase to help yeast respond to mating pheromones.
