| Abstract | Retinal cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE6) is a key enzyme in vertebrate phototransduction. Rod PDE contains two homologous catalytic subunits (Pαβ) and two identical regulatory subunits (Pγ). Biochemical studies have shown that amphibian Pαβ has high affinity, cGMP-specific, non-catalytic binding sites and that Pγ stimulates cGMP binding to these sites. Here we show by molecular cloning that each catalytic subunit in amphibian PDE, as in its mammalian counterpart, contains two homologous tandem GAF domains in its N-terminal region. In Pγ-depleted membrane-bound PDE (20–40% Pγ still present), a single type of cGMP-binding site with a relatively low affinity (K d ∼ 100 nm) was observed, and addition of Pγ increased both the affinity for cGMP and the level of cGMP binding. We also show that mutations of amino acid residues in four different sites in Pγ reduced its ability to stimulate cGMP binding. Among these, the site involved in Pγ phosphorylation by Cdk5 (positions 20–23) had the largest effect on cGMP binding. However, except for the C terminus, these sites were not involved in Pγ inhibition of the cGMP hydrolytic activity of Pαβ. In addition, the Pγ concentration required for 50% stimulation of cGMP binding was much greater than that required for 50% inhibition of cGMP hydrolysis. These results suggest that the Pαβ heterodimer contains two spatially and functionally distinct types of Pγ-binding sites: one for inhibition of cGMP hydrolytic activity and the second for activation of cGMP binding to GAF domains. We propose a model for the Pαβ-Pγ interaction in which Pγ, by binding to one of the two sites in Pαβ, may preferentially act either as an inhibitor of catalytic activity or as an activator of cGMP binding to GAF domains in frog PDE. |

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.
