Isolation and characterization of a retinal-binding protein from the squid retina.

Abstract:

:A retinal-binding protein (RALBP) was isolated from the squid retina, and purified by anion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatography. The molecular weight was determined to be 51,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by gel filtration. The purified sample showed absorption maxima at about 330 and 400 nm in addition to a protein band, indicating the occurrence of retinol and retinal, respectively. The relative heights of these two peaks varied from preparation to preparation, depending on retinoid ligands. Irradiation of RALBP caused no marked change in absorption, but the amount of 11-cis-retinal decreased to form a photosteady state mixture with all-trans- and 13-cis-retinals. RALBP was fairly stable even in the presence of hydroxylamine (100 mM), but was affected by sodium borohydride (30 mM) or borane dimethylamine (400 mM), with the retinal reduced to retinol. When incubated with metaretinochrome-carrying membranes in the dark, RALBP specifically took up 11-cis-retinal and lost all-trans-retinol. Upon further incubation of this RALBP with opsin-containing membranes, rhodopsin was progressively formed in the dark. Squid RALBP may act as a shuttle in transferring the 11-cis-retinal from metaretinochrome to opsin in the visual cells.
