Functional Mapping of Interacting Regions of the Photoreceptor Phosphodiesterase (PDE6) -Subunit with PDE6 Catalytic Dimer, Transducin, and Regulator
Background: The PDE6 -subunit serves multiple functions during visual transduction. Results: Several regions of P that interact with PDE6 or transducin were identified. Conclusion:Multiple interacting sites of P with PDE catalytic dimer, transducin, and the transducin/RGS9 complex coordinate the activation and deactivation of PDE6. Significance: This work contributes to understanding how defect...
متن کاملAllosteric behavior in transducin activation mediated by rhodopsin. Initial rate analysis of guanine nucleotide exchange.
Photolyzed rhodopsin acts in a catalytic manner to mediate the exchange of GTP for GDP bound to transducin. We have analyzed the steady-state kinetics of this activation process in order to determine the molecular mechanism of interactions between rhodopsin, transducin, and guanine nucleotides. Initial velocities (Vo) of the exchange reaction catalyzed by rhodopsin were measured for various tra...
متن کاملRGS9-G beta 5 substrate selectivity in photoreceptors. Opposing effects of constituent domains yield high affinity of RGS interaction with the G protein-effector complex.
RGS proteins regulate the duration of G protein signaling by increasing the rate of GTP hydrolysis on G protein alpha subunits. The complex of RGS9 with type 5 G protein beta subunit (G beta 5) is abundant in photoreceptors, where it stimulates the GTPase activity of transducin. An important functional feature of RGS9-G beta 5 is its ability to activate transducin GTPase much more efficiently a...
متن کاملStructure and function in rhodopsin: covalent crosslinking of the rhodopsin (metarhodopsin II)-transducin complex--the rhodopsin cytoplasmic face links to the transducin alpha subunit.
We prepared rhodopsin mutants that contained a single reactive cysteine residue per rhodopsin molecule at position 65, 140, 240, or 316 on the cytoplasmic face. A carbene-generating photoactivatable group was linked by a disulfide bond to the cysteine sulfhydryl group of each of the rhodopsin mutants. The resulting derivative was then light-activated at lambda > 495 nm to form the metarhodopsin...
متن کاملModeling of the complex between transducin and photoactivated rhodopsin, a prototypical G-protein-coupled receptor.
Obtaining a reliable 3D model for the complex formed by photoactivated rhodopsin (R*) and its G-protein, transducin (Gtalphabetagamma), would significantly benefit the entire field of structural biology of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). In this study, we have performed extensive configurational sampling for the isolated C-terminal fragment of the alpha-subunit of transducin, Gtalpha 340-3...
