The effect of rhodopsin phosphorylation on the light-dependent activation of phosphodiesterase from bovine rod outer segments.

Journal Article (Journal Article)

ATP quenches light-dependent phosphodiesterase (PDE) activation in rod outer segments presumably due to rhodopsin phosphorylation. Here we compared the efficiency of phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated rhodopsins as PDE activators in a reconstituted cell-free system. It is shown that the ability of phosphorylated membranes to activate this enzyme is suppressed compared with non-phosphorylated ones.
