| Abstract | Photoreceptor cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE6) is the effector enzyme in the G protein-mediated visual transduction cascade. In the dark, the activity of PDE6 is shut off by the inhibitory γ subunit (Pγ). Chimeric proteins between cone PDE6α′ and cGMP-binding and cGMP-specific PDE (PDE5) have been constructed and expressed in Sf9 cells to study the mechanism of inhibition of PDE6 catalytic activity by Pγ. Substitution of the segment PDE5-(773–820) by the corresponding PDE6α′-(737–784) sequence in the wild-type PDE5 or in a PDE5/PDE6α′ chimera containing the catalytic domain of PDE5 results in chimeric enzymes capable of inhibitory interaction with Pγ. The catalytic properties of the chimeric PDEs remained similar to those of PDE5. Ala-scanning mutational analysis of the Pγ-binding region, PDE6α′-(750–760), revealed PDE6α′ residues essential for the interaction. The M758A mutation markedly impaired and the Q752A mutation moderately impaired the inhibition of chimeric PDE by Pγ. The analysis of the catalytic properties of mutant PDEs and a model of the PDE6 catalytic domain suggest that residues Met758 and Gln752directly bind Pγ. A model of the PDE6 catalytic site shows that PDE6α′-(750–760) forms a loop at the entrance to the cGMP-binding pocket. Binding of Pγ to Met758 would effectively block access of cGMP to the catalytic cavity, providing a structural basis for the mechanism of PDE6 inhibition. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
