Chemical shift assignments of retinal guanylyl cyclase activating protein 5 (GCAP5) with a mutation (R22A) that abolishes dimerization and enhances cyclase activation

Abstract

Retinal membrane guanylyl cyclases (RetGCs) in vertebrate rod and cone photoreceptors are activated by a family of neuronal Ca2+ sensor proteins called guanylyl cyclase activating proteins (GCAP1-7). GCAP5 from zebrafish photoreceptors binds to RetGC and confers Ca2+/Fe2+-dependent regulation of RetGC enzymatic activity that promotes the recovery phase of visual phototransduction. We report NMR chemical shift assignments of GCAP5 with a R22A mutation (called GCAP5R22A) that abolishes protein dimerization and activates RetGC with 3-fold higher activity than that of wild type GCAP5 (BMRB No. 51,783).
