Structural highlights 1jba is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Bos taurus. Full experimental information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: Solution NMR Ligands: Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function GUC1B_BOVIN Stimulates guanylyl cyclase 1 (GC1) and GC2 when free calcium ions concentration is low, and GC1 and GC2 when free calcium ions concentration is elevated. This Ca(2+)-sensitive regulation of GC is a key event in recovery of the dark state of rod photoreceptors following light exposure. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMed Guanylyl cyclase activating protein-2 (GCAP-2) is a Ca2+-sensitive regulator of phototransduction in retinal photoreceptor cells. GCAP-2 activates retinal guanylyl cyclases at low Ca2+ concentration (<100 nM) and inhibits them at high Ca2+ (>500 nM). The light-induced lowering of the Ca2+ level from approximately 500 nM in the dark to approximately 50 nM following illumination is known to play a key role in visual recovery and adaptation. We report here the three-dimensional structure of unmyristoylated GCAP-2 with three bound Ca2+ ions as determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of recombinant, isotopically labeled protein. GCAP-2 contains four EF-hand motifs arranged in a compact tandem array like that seen previously in recoverin. The root mean square deviation of the main chain atoms in the EF-hand regions is 2.2 A in comparing the Ca2+-bound structures of GCAP-2 and recoverin. EF-1, as in recoverin, does not bind calcium because it contains a disabling Cys-Pro sequence. GCAP-2 differs from recoverin in that the calcium ion binds to EF-4 in addition to EF-2 and EF-3. A prominent exposed patch of hydrophobic residues formed by EF-1 and EF-2 (Leu24, Trp27, Phe31, Phe45, Phe48, Phe49, Tyr81, Val82, Leu85, and Leu89) may serve as a target-binding site for the transmission of calcium signals to guanylyl cyclase.
