Retinal ON bipolar cells express a new PCP2 splice variant that accelerates the light response.
PCP2, a member of the GoLoco domain-containing family, is present exclusively in cerebellar Purkinje cells and retinal ON bipolar cells. Its function in these tissues is unknown. Biochemical and expression system studies suggest that PCP2 is a guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor, although a guanine nucleotide exchange factor has also been suggested. Here, we studied the function of PCP2 i...
متن کاملA retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR)-deficient mouse model for X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (RP3).
The X-linked RP3 locus codes for retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR), a protein of unknown function with sequence homology to the guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Ran GTPase. We created an RPGR-deficient murine model by gene knockout. In the mutant mice, cone photoreceptors exhibit ectopic localization of cone opsins in the cell body and synapses and rod photoreceptors have a red...
متن کاملGEFs: master regulators of G-protein activation.
What is a GEF? GEF stands for guanine-nucleotide exchange factor, any of a large and diverse group of proteins that catalyze the release of GDPand the subsequent uptake of GTPby members of the Ras and heterotrimeric G-protein superfamilies (referred to here collectively as G proteins). When bound to GTP, G proteins are in the active conformation. Upon hydrolysis of this bound GTP, by virtue of ...
متن کاملActivation of G Proteins by Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors Relies on GTPase Activity
G proteins are an important family of signalling molecules controlled by guanine nucleotide exchange and GTPase activity in what is commonly called an 'activation/inactivation cycle'. The molecular mechanism by which guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) catalyse the activation of monomeric G proteins is well-established, however the complete reversibility of this mechanism is often overlo...
متن کاملMembrane-dependent guanine nucleotide binding and GTPase activities of soluble protein from bovine rod cell outer segments.
Soluble proteins can be extracted by osmotic shock of purified rod (photoreceptor cell) outer segments that have intact plasma membranes. The soluble proteins include a component that contains tightly bound GDP-Exchange of this GDP with exogenous nucleotide is catalyzed by (and requires) the membranes from the outer segments. ATP does not participate in these reactions. Approximately one-half o...
