| Abstract | Guanylyl cyclase activating protein (GCAP-1), a Ca2+/Mg2+ sensor protein that accelerates retinal guanylyl cyclase (RetGC) in the light and decelerates it in the dark, is inactive in cation-free form. Binding of Mg2+ in EF-hands 2 and 3 was essential for RetGC activation in the conditions mimicking light adaptation. Mg2+ binding in EF-hand 2 affected the conformation of a neighboring non-metal binding domain, EF-hand-1, and increased GCAP-1 affinity for RetGC nearly 40-fold compared to the metal-free EF-hand 2. Mg2+ binding in EF-hand 3 increased GCAP-1 affinity for RetGC 5-fold and its maximal RetGC stimulation 2-fold. Mg2+ binding in EF-hand 4 affected neither GCAP-1 affinity for RetGC, nor RetGC activation. Inactivation of Ca2+ binding in EF-hand 4 was sufficient to render GCAP-1 a constitutive activator of RetGC, while the EF-hand 3 role in Ca2+-dependent deceleration of RetGC was likely to be through the neighboring EF-hand 4. Inactivation of Ca2+ binding in EF-hand 2 affected cooperativity of RetGC inhibition by Ca2+, but did not prevent the inhibition. We conclude that 1) Mg2+ binding in EF-hands 2 and 3, but not EF-hand 4, is essential for the ability of GCAP-1 to activate RetGC in the light; 2) Mg2+ or Ca2+ binding in EF-hand 3 and especially in EF-hand 2 is required for high-affinity interaction with the cyclase and affects the conformation of the neighboring EF-hand 1, a domain required for targeting RetGC; 3) RetGC inhibition is likely to be primarily caused by Ca2+ binding in EF-hand 4. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
