Function

OPSD_BOVIN Photoreceptor required for image-forming vision at low light intensity. Required for photoreceptor cell viability after birth. Light-induced isomerization of 11-cis to all-trans retinal triggers a conformational change leading to G-protein activation and release of all-trans retinal (By similarity).^[1] ^[2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Visual arrestin binds to the phosphorylated carboxy-terminal region of rhodopsin to block interactions with transducin and terminate signaling in the rod photoreceptor cells. A synthetic seven-phospho-peptide from the C-terminal region of rhodopsin, Rh(330-348), has been shown to bind arrestin and mimic inhibition of signal transduction. In this study, we examine conformational changes in this synthetic peptide upon binding to arrestin by high-resolution proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). We show that the peptide is completely disordered in solution, but becomes structured upon binding to arrestin. A control, unphosphorylated peptide that fails to bind to arrestin remains highly disordered. Specific NMR distance constraints are used to model the arrestin-bound conformation. The models suggest that the phosphorylated carboxy-terminal region of rhodopsin, Rh(330-348), undergoes significant conformational changes and becomes structured upon binding to arrestin.
