  • Recoverin and Ca2+ in vertebrate phototransduction

  • James B. Hurley
  • Journal:
    Behavioral and Brain Sciences / Volume 18 / Issue 3 / September 1995
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:

  • Recoverin is a 23 kDa Ca2+binding protein that has been detected primarily in vertebrate photoreceptors. The role of recoverin in phototransduction has been investigated using a variety of biochemical methods. Initial reports suggesting that recoverin regulates photoreceptor guanylyl cyclase have not been confirmed. Instead, recoverin appears to determine the lifetime of lightstimulated phosphodiesterase activity, perhaps by regulating rhodopsin phosphorylation. Retinal recoverin is heterogeneously fatty acylated at its ammo-terminus. The amino-terminal fatty acid appears to be involved in the interaction of recoverin with photoreceptor membranes.
