Identification of Functional Site of S-Modulin
Tachibanaki, Shuji,Nanda, Kumiko,Sasaki, Kenji,Ozaki, Koichi,Kawamura, Satoru Korean Society of Photoscience 2002 Journal of Photosciences Vol.9 No.2
S-modulin in frog or its bovine homologue, recoverin, is a 26 kDa EF-hand $Ca^{2+}$-binding protein found in rod photoreceptors. The $Ca^{2+}$ -bound form of S-modulin binds to rhodopsin kinase (Rk) and inhibits its activity. Through this regulation, S-modulin is believed to modulate the light-sensitivity of a rod. In the present study, we tried to identify the interaction site of the $Ca^{2+}$ -bound form of S-modulin to Rk. First, we mapped roughly the interaction regions by using partial peptides of S-modulin. The result suggested that a specific region near the amino terminus is the interaction site of S- modulin. We then identified the essential amino acid residues in this region by using S-modulin mutant proteins: four amino acid residues were suggested to interact with Rk. These residues are located in a small closed pocket in the $Ca^{2+}$-free, inactive form of S-modulin, but exposed to the surface of the molecules in the $Ca^{2+}$ -bound, active form of S-modulin. Two additional amino acid residues were found to be crucial for the $Ca^{2+}$ -dependent conformational changes of S-modulin. The present study firstly identified the functional site of S-modulin, a member of a neuronal calcium sensor protein family.in family..

Efficiency of Phototransduction Cascade in Carp Cones
Tachibanaki, Shuji,Tsushima, Sawae,Kawamura, Satoru Korean Society of Photoscience 2002 Journal of Photosciences Vol.9 No.2
In the vertebrate retina, rods mediate twilight vision and cones daylight vision. Rods have been purified easily from the retina, and thus the phototransduction mechanism in rods is now well documented. However, it has not been possible to purify cones in large quantities, and therefore, the knowledge on the mechanism in cones is limited. Here we report purification of carp (Cyprinus carpio) cones with a stepwise Percoll gradient. Using purified cells, we compared the phototransduction mechanism between rods and cones. The results showed that both transducin activation and phosphodiesterase activation are less effective, and visual pigment phosphorylation is faster in cones. These differences explain lower light-sensitivity and briefer photoresponse time course in cones.
