Rapid and Reproducible Deactivation of Rhodopsin Requires Multiple Phosphorylation Sites
Efficient single-photon detection by retinal rod photoreceptors requires timely and reproducible deactivation of rhodopsin. Like other G protein-coupled receptors, rhodopsin contains multiple sites for phosphorylation at its COOH-terminal domain. Transgenic and electrophysiological methods were used to functionally dissect the role of the multiple phosphorylation sites during deactivation of rh...
متن کاملDeactivation of phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated rhodopsin by arrestin splice variants.
Arrestins constitute a family of small cytoplasmic proteins that mediate deactivation of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and are known to be essential for cascade inactivation and receptor desensitization. Alternative splicing produces an array of arrestin gene products that have widely different specificities for their cognate receptors in vitro, but the differential functions of these spl...
متن کاملMultiple phosphorylation sites in mammalian neurofilament polypeptides.
The 68,000, 145,000, and 200,000 dalton subunits of neurofilaments from rat spinal cord and brain stem were shown by chemical phosphate analysis to contain about 3, 9, and 22 mol of phosphate/mol of polypeptide, respectively. All three subunits contained phosphoserine while the 145,000 dalton polypeptide also contained phosphothreonine. The high phosphate content of the 200,000 dalton polypepti...
متن کاملDifferential spatial and temporal phosphorylation of the visual receptor, rhodopsin, at two primary phosphorylation sites in mice exposed to light.
Phosphorylation of rhodopsin critically controls the visual transduction cascade by uncoupling it from the G-protein transducin. The kinase primarily responsible for this phosphorylation is rhodopsin kinase, a substrate-regulated kinase that phosphorylates light-activated rhodopsin. Protein kinase C has been implicated in controlling the phosphorylation of both light-activated and dark-adapted ...
متن کاملRhodopsin phosphorylation: 30 years later.
Phototransduction in vertebrate photoreceptor cells mediated by rhodopsin is one of the most comprehensively examined G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathways. The signal transduction pathway can be mapped from the initial absorption of light to conformational changes within rhodopsin, through activation of the G protein transducin, and to the ultimate closure of the cation cGMP-gat...
