NMR structures of phosphorylated carboxy terminus of bovine rhodopsin in arrestin-bound state
Overview
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.
