Purification and characterization of S-modulin, a calcium-dependent regulator on cGMP phosphodiesterase in frog rod photoreceptors.

Abstract:

:S-modulin is a 26 kDa protein that regulates light sensitivity of cGMP phosphodiesterase in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner in frog rod outer segments (ROSs). In the present study, we purified S-modulin by taking advantage of a hydrophobic interaction between Phenyl Sepharose and S-modulin at high Ca2+ concentrations. The yield was greater than 90%. 45Ca(2+)-binding experiment showed that S-modulin is a Ca(2+)-binding protein. At high Ca2+ concentrations, S-modulin binds to ROS membranes. The binding target of the Ca2+/S-modulin complex is possibly a ROS membrane lipid(s), but it was difficult to identify. The binding was observed mainly at greater than 1 microM Ca2+. The amino acid sequence deduced from proteolytic fragments of S-modulin was approximately 80% and 60% identical to those of recovering and visinin, respectively.
