Visual arrestin plays a crucial role in the termination of the
light response in vertebrate photoreceptors by binding selectively to
light-activated, phosphorylated rhodopsin. Arrestin localizes predominantly to the inner segments and perinuclear region of dark-adapted rod photoreceptors, whereas light induces redistribution of arrestin to the rod outer segments. The mechanism by which arrestin
redistributes in response to light is not known, but it is thought to
be associated with the ability of arrestin to bind photolyzed,
phosphorylated rhodopsin in the outer segment. In this study, we show
that light-driven translocation of arrestin is unaffected in two
different mouse models in which rhodopsin phosphorylation is lacking.
We further show that arrestin movement is initiated by rhodopsin but
does not require transducin signaling. These results exclude passive
diffusion and point toward active transport as the mechanism for
light-dependent arrestin movement in rod photoreceptor cells.
Key words:
arrestin; transducin; RPE65; rhodopsin
