AbstractThe rod-outer-segment guanylyl cyclase 1 (ROS-GC1) is a key transmembrane protein for retinal phototransduction. Mutations of ROS-GC1 correlate with different retinal diseases that often lead to blindness. No structural data are available for ROS-GC1 so far. We performed a 3D-structural analysis of native ROS-GC1 from bovine retina by cross-linking/mass spectrometry (XL-MS) and computational modeling. Absolute quantification and activity measurements of native ROS-GC1 were performed by MS-based assays directly in bovine retina samples. Our data present the first 3D-structural analysis of active, full-length ROS-GC1 in bovine retina. We propose a novel domain organization for the intracellular domain ROS-GC1. Our XL-MS data reveal that the α-helical domain connecting the kinase homology and catalytic domains can acquire different conformations. Also, the XL-MS data of native ROS-GC1 in bovine retina agree with a dimeric architecture. Our integrated approach can serve as a blueprint for conducting 3D-structural studies of membrane proteins in their native environment.

Cells and tissues live on a number of dynamic metabolic pathways, which are made up of sequential enzymatic cascades.Recent biochemical and physiological studies of vision research showed the importance of cGMP metabolism in the rod outer segment of visual cell, indicat ing that the photon activated rhodopsin exerts activation effect on the GTP binding protein, transducin, and this act ivated transducin further activates phosphodiesterase (PDEase) to result in a rapid drop in cGMP concentration in the cytoplasm of rod outer segment. This rapid drop of cGMP concentration exerts to close the ion channel on the plasma membrane and to stop of inward current brings hyperpolarization and evokes an action potential.These sequential change of enzyme activities, known as cGMP cascade, proceeds quite rapidly within msec order. Such a rapid change of enzyme activities, such as PDEase in rod outer segment, was not a matter of conventional histochemical invest igations.
