Retinal guanylyl cyclase activating protein 1 forms a functional dimer
Retinal guanylyl cyclases (RetGCs) in vertebrate photoreceptors are regulated by the guanylyl cyclase activator proteins (GCAP1 and GCAP2). Here, we report EPR double electron-electron resonance (DEER) studies on the most ubiquitous GCAP isoform, GCAP1 and site-directed mutagenesis analysis to determine an atomic resolution structural model of a GCAP1 dimer. Nitroxide spin-label probes were int...
متن کاملInducing vasoconstriction by activating guanylyl cyclase.
OF THE MANY PHYSIOLOGICAL effects exerted by atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), its direct influence on vascular tone seems to be the most puzzling. In the peripheral circulation, ANP binds to the extracellular ligand binding domain of the membrane-bound guanylyl cyclase isoform A (GC-A), which is widely expressed in vascular smooth muscle, to increase intracellular levels of cGMP (11). Activati...
متن کاملFunctional reconstitution of photoreceptor guanylate cyclase with native and mutant forms of guanylate cyclase-activating protein 1.
In rod and cone photoreceptor cells, activation of particulate guanylate cyclase (retGC1) is mediated by a Ca2+-binding protein termed GCAP1, that detects changes in [Ca2+]free. In this study, we show that N-acylated GCAP1 restored Ca2+ sensitivity of native and recombinant photoreceptor retGC1. ATP increased the affinity of retGC1 for GCAP1 and accelerated catalysis. Using peptides derived fro...
متن کاملIdentification of a domain in guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 1 that interacts with a complex of guanylyl cyclase and tubulin in photoreceptors.
The membrane-bound guanylyl cyclase in rod photoreceptors is activated by guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 1 (GCAP-1) at low free [Ca2+]. GCAP-1 is a Ca2+-binding protein and belongs to the superfamily of EF-hand proteins. We created an oligopeptide library of overlapping peptides that encompass the entire amino acid sequence of GCAP-1. Peptides were used in competitive screening assays to i...
متن کاملThree-dimensional structure of guanylyl cyclase activating protein-2, a calcium-sensitive modulator of photoreceptor guanylyl cyclases.
Guanylyl cyclase activating protein-2 (GCAP-2) is a Ca2+-sensitive regulator of phototransduction in retinal photoreceptor cells. GCAP-2 activates retinal guanylyl cyclases at low Ca2+ concentration (<100 nM) and inhibits them at high Ca2+ (>500 nM). The light-induced lowering of the Ca2+ level from approximately 500 nM in the dark to approximately 50 nM following illumination is known to play ...
