| Abstract | We have observed rapid, light-initiated changes in unbound cytosol ATP and ADP during the rhodopsin-to-metarhodopsin II transition in intact rod outer segments (ROS). Upon illumination of the ROS, ATP is rapidly removed from the unbound phase of ROS, accompanied by the concomitant release of ADP into the cytosol. The exchange process involves decreases of approximately equal to 0.5 mM ATP in ROS cytosol ATP content in response to a saturating flash. At levels of light well below saturation (less than 0.001% bleach), the process is highly amplified, with a decrease in cytosol ATP of approximately equal to 2,000 ATP molecules per absorbed photon per ROS. Rapid time-resolution techniques reveal that cytosol ATP content decreases rapidly, within 250 msec of a saturating flash. Bleaching rhodopsin to metarhodopsin II results in a decrease in cytosol ATP, accompanied by an increase in cytosol ADP, whereas photoreversal of metarhodopsin II by a blue flash reverses the process, increasing ATP concentration to its control level in the dark. The photoreversibility of the ATP decrease during the rhodopsin-to-metarhodopsin II transition establishes a direct link between the state of an early intermediate of photolyzed rhodopsin and the state of a nucleoside triphosphate in intact ROS. The results are consistent with a light-activated exchange of unbound ATP for bound ADP, and we propose, therefore, an ATP/ADP amplification cycle in which metarhodopsin II catalyzes the exchange of ATP for ADP on a nucleotide binding protein. |

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.
