Here we identify Drosophila Double hit (Dhit) as a dual RGS regulator of Galphao. In addition to the conventional GTPase-activating action, Dhit possesses the guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (GDI) activity, slowing the rate of GTP uptake by Galphao; both activities are mediated by the same RGS domain. These findings are recapitulated using homologous mammalian Galphao/i proteins and RGS19. Crystal structure and mutagenesis studies provide clues into the molecular mechanism for this unprecedented GDI activity. Physiologically, we confirm this activity in Drosophila asymmetric cell divisions and HEK293T cells. We show that the oncogenic Galphao mutant found in breast cancer escapes this GDI regulation. Our studies identify Dhit and its homologs as double-action regulators, inhibiting Galphao/i proteins both through suppression of their activation and acceleration of their inactivation through the single RGS domain.
