Abstract
Rod outer segments (ROSs) are specialized light-sensitive organelles in vertebrate photoreceptor cells. Lipids in ROS are of considerable importance, not only in providing an adequate environment for efficient phototransduction, but also in originating the second messengers involved in signal transduction. ROSs have the ability to adapt the sensitivity and speed of their responses to ever-changing conditions of ambient illumination. A major contributor to this adaptation is the light-driven translocation of key signaling proteins into and out of ROS. The present review shows how generation of the second lipid messengers from phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidic acid, and diacylglycerol is modulated by the different illumination states in the vertebrate retina. Findings suggest that the light-induced translocation of phototransduction proteins influences the enzymatic activities of phospholipase D, lipid phosphate phosphatase, diacylglyceride lipase, and diacylglyceride kinase, all of which are responsible for the generation of the second messenger molecules.

Abstract
The photoresponse of a rod wanes over time in steady illumination, as light loses its efficacy in generating the response. Such desensitization is adaptive because it extends the range of ambient light levels over which the rod signals changes in light intensity by several orders of magnitude. Adaptation begins to unfold rapidly after the onset of light with a time constant of approximately 1 s, causing the rod's sensitivity to steady light to decrease by nearly two log units. Thereafter, a much slower phase of adaptation evolves with a time constant of 9 s. During this phase the rod's sensitivity decreases by an additional log unit. Both phases are dependent upon the light-induced fall in intracellular Ca2+. The fast phase of light adaptation can be attributed to Ca2+ feedback processes regulating the lifetime ofphotoactivated rhodopsin, cGMP synthesis and sensitivity of the cGMP-gated channel to cGMP. Although the mechanism(s) of the slow phase is not yet known, it appears to include further regulation of the lifetime of photoactivated rhodopsin.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) desensitizes the light response in photoreceptors from the ventral optic nerve of the horseshoe crab Limulus. Photoisomerization of Limulus rhodopsin leads to phosphoinositide hydrolysis, resulting in the production of inositol trisphosphate and diacylglycerol (DAG). Inositol trisphosphate mobilizes intracellular stores of Ca(2+), resulting in photoreceptor excitation in Limulus, while DAG may activate PKC. We investigated whether PKC-mediated desensitization of the photoresponse is accompanied by ultrastructural changes in the rhodopsin-bearing photosensitive membrane (rhabdom) in Limulus ventral photoreceptors. PKC activation by (-)-indolactam V in darkness induces disorganization and swelling of the rhodopsin-containing microvilli and endocytosis of rhabdomeral membrane. The effects of (-)-indolactam V on dark-adapted photoreceptor ultrastructure are reversible, are stereospecific, are blocked by coapplication of PKC inhibitors, and closely match those induced by continuous, bright light. Rhabdom disorganization and endocytosis via PKC activation may, therefore, contribute to desensitization of the light-adapted photoreceptor.

Abstract
Human diacylglycerol kinase epsilon (hDGK epsilon) displays high selectivity for arachidonate-containing substrates and may be essential in the termination of signals transmitted through arachidonoyl-diacylglycerol and/or the synthesis of phospholipids with defined fatty acid composition. We herein report the genomic structure, chromosomal mapping, and mutation screening of hDGK epsilon gene. hDGK epsilon gene contains at least 12 exons spanning approximately 30 kb of genomic sequence and was mapped to chromosome 17q22 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. A search for disease gene linkage revealed that a locus for autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) known as RP17 resided in that region, and Northern blot analysis showed that hDGK epsilon was expressed in human retina. The hDGK epsilon gene was then localized to one of the YAC clones containing a STS marker for the RP17 locus by YAC contig mapping. Direct sequencing following PCR amplification of two affected DNA samples from that type of adRP patients, however, did not reveal any mutation in hDGK epsilon exons.

Abstract
Biochemical experiments by others have indicated that protein kinase C activity is present in the rod outer segment, with potential or demonstrated targets including rhodopsin, transducin, cGMP-phosphodiesterase (PDE), guanylate cyclase, and arrestin, all of which are components of the phototransduction cascade. In particular, PKC phosphorylations of rhodopsin and the inhibitory subunit of PDE (PDE ) have been studied in some detail, and suggested to have roles in downregulating the sensitivity of rod photoreceptors to light during illumination. We have examined this question under physiological conditions by recording from a single, dissociated salamander rod with a suction pipette while exposing its outer segment to the PKC activators phorbol-12-myristate,13-acetate (PMA) or phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu), or to the PKC-inhibitor GF109203X. No significant effect of any of these agents on rod sensitivity was detected, whether in the absence or presence of a background light, or after a low bleach. These results suggest that PKC probably does not produce any acute downregulation of rod sensitivity as a mechanism of light adaptation, at least for isolated amphibian rods.

Abstract
Similar to other G protein-coupled receptors, the visual receptor, rhodopsin, is phosphorylated by both a substrate-regulated kinase, rhodopsin kinase, and a second messenger-regulated kinase, protein kinase C. In the present study, the extent of involvement of protein kinase C in the light-dependent phosphorylation of rhodopsin in intact retinas was assessed using a specific activator (phorbol ester) and specific inhibitor (calphostin C) of protein kinase C. Kinetic analysis of rhodopsin phosphorylation following different illumination conditions revealed that hyperactivation of protein kinase C with phorbol ester resulted in a relative increase in rhodopsin phosphorylation that peaked 10-15 min after the onset of illumination. Following this period, the rate of rhodopsin dephosphorylation was increased in the phorbol ester-treated retinas, so that by about 30 min the amount of phosphorylation was similar to that in control retinas. Treatment of retinas with calphostin C, a potent regulatory domain-directed inhibitor of protein kinase C, resulted in an approximately 50% reduction in the light-dependent phosphorylation of rhodopsin. This inhibitor had no effect on the activity of rhodopsin kinase in vitro. Last, we show that frog rhodopsin is phosphorylated in vitro by protein kinase C from frog rod outer segments, indicating that this kinase could directly modulate rhodopsin in vivo. In conclusion, the present results reveal that the kinetics of rhodopsin phosphorylation/dephosphorylation differ markedly, depending on whether protein kinase C or rhodopsin kinase activity dominates, and that, under the conditions studied, protein kinase C contributes to approximately half of the phosphorylation of rhodopsin in intact frog retinas.

Abstract
Phototransduction in retinal rods involves a G protein-coupled signaling cascade that leads to cGMP hydrolysis and the closure of cGMP-gated cation channels that are open in darkness, producing a membrane hyperpolarization as the light response. For many years there have also been reports of the presence of a phosphoinositide pathway in the rod outer segment, though its functions and the molecular identities of its components are still unclear. Using immunocytochemistry with antibodies against various phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) isozymes (beta1-4, gamma1-2, and delta1-2), we have found PLCbeta4-like immunoreactivity in rod outer segments. Similar experiments with antibodies against the alpha-subunits of the G(q) family of G proteins, which are known to activate PLCbeta4, have also demonstrated G(alpha11)-like immunoreactivity in this location. Immunoblots of total proteins from whole retina or partially purified rod outer segments with anti-PLCbeta4 and anti-G(alpha11) antibodies gave, respectively, a single protein band of the expected molecular mass, suggesting specific labelings. The retinal locations of the two proteins were also supported by in situ hybridization experiments on mouse retina with probes specific for the corresponding mouse genes. These two proteins, or immunologically identical isoforms, therefore likely mediate the phosphoinositide signaling pathway in the rod outer segment. At present, G(alpha11) or a G(alpha11)-like protein represents the only G protein besides transducin (which mediates phototransduction) identified so far in the rod outer segment. Although absent in the outer segment layer, other PLC isoforms as well as G(alpha q) (another G(q) family member), are present elsewhere in the retina.

Abstract
Visual arrestin (48 kDa) plays a role in the deactivation of rhodopsin by binding to the light-activated, phosphorylated form of the receptor. In bovine rod outer segments that were prepared in the presence of protease inhibitors, two faster migrating forms of arrestin, with apparent molecular masses of 46 and 44 kDa, were observed by Western blot analysis. The 46-kDa form was more evident in rod outer segments of eyes kept in the light than those placed in darkness and was found to be identical to that generated by in vitro proteolysis of arrestin by pure retinal calpain II. In vitro analysis showed that arrestin was proteolyzed only when bound to rhodopsin; soluble arrestin was not significantly cleaved by calpain. Proteolysis involves sequential cleavage at two, possibly three sites, resulting in the removal of 27 amino acids from the COOH terminus. The remaining 46-kDa protein was resistant to further proteolysis by calpain. Unlike intact arrestin, the 46-kDa truncated arrestin was not readily released from the receptor after the receptor had lost its chromophore, nor was it released upon the addition of 11-cis-retinal to regenerate the receptor. Truncated arrestin was found to inhibit receptor dephosphorylation to the same extent as intact arrestin. In conclusion, these results provide evidence that a 46-kDa form of arrestin in rod outer segments is a product of selective proteolysis by calpain. Furthermore, they suggest that this proteolysis may provide a mechanism for prolonging the phosphorylated state of the visual receptor.

Abstract
Transmembrane signal transductions in a variety of cell types that mediate signals as diverse as those carried by neurotransmitters, hormones, and sensory signals share basic biochemical mechanisms that include: (1) an extracellular perturbation (neurotransmitter, hormone, odor, light); (2) specific receptors; (3) coupling proteins, such as G proteins; and (4) effector enzymes or ion channels. Parallel to these amplification reactions, receptors are precisely inactivated by mechanisms that involve protein kinases and regulatory proteins called arrestins. The structure and functions of arrestins are the focus of this review.

Abstract
Two classes of phosphorylated homologs of vertebrate arrestins, designated phosrestins I (PRI) and phosrestin II (PRII), are expressed in the photoreceptors of a fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. This study presents evidence that the housefly, Musca domestica, also has a protein similar to Drosophila PRI. Our conclusion is based on the following evidence. (1) We identified a Musca photoreceptor protein exhibiting a molecular mass (51 kDa) and an isoelectric point (pI = 8.6) similar to those of Drosophila PRI. This Musca protein, designated Musca PRI, changes its pI upon illumination in vivo. Drosophila PRI. This Musca protein, designated Musca PRI, changes its pI upon illumination in vivo. (2) Rabbit antibodies raised against Musca PRI, against bovine arrestin, and against a synthetic peptide based on the Drosophila PRI sequence stained the Drosophila and Musca PRIs specifically on 1 and 2-dimensional Western immunoblots. (3) Both Drosophila and Musca PRIs incorporated 32P-radioactivity from gamma-32P-ATP in cell-free homogenates of retinas. Partial peptide digestions of Drosophila and Musca PRIs revealed similarity between these proteins. We observed that Drosophila PRI exists in the random preparation, but it also exists in other subcellular fractions. Immunocytochemistry at the EM level revealed a distribution of both Drosophila and Musca PRI epitopes in membranous vesicular structures in the cytosol as well as in the rhabdomeric microvillar membranes where the visual pigment, rhodopsin, exists. Such distribution of PRI epitopes suggests that PRI and its light-dependent phosphorylation may function in a space remote from the rhabdomere as well as the immediate milieu of photoreception.

Abstract
Activation of PI-PLC initiates two independent branches of protein phosphorylation cascades catalyzed by either PKC or Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK). We find that phosrestin I (PRI), a Drosophila homolog of vertebrate photoreceptor arrestin, undergoes light-induced phosphorylation on a subsecond time scale which is faster than that of any other protein in vivo. We determine that a CaMK activity is responsible for in vitro PRI phosphorylation at Ser366 in the C-terminal tryptic segment, MetLysSer(P)IleGluGlnHisArg, in which Ser(P) represents phosphoserine366. We also demonstrate that Ser366 is the phosphorylation site of PRI in vivo by identifying the molecular species resulting from in-gel tryptic digestion of purified phospho-PRI using HPLC-electrospray ionization tandem quadrupole mass spectroscopy. From these data, we conclude that the CaMK pathway, not the PKC pathway, is responsible for the earliest protein phosphorylation event following activation of PI-PLC in living Drosophila photoreceptors.

Abstract
The localisation and immunochemical identification of three different forms of calcium-independent protein kinase C (PKC-epsilon, PKC-delta and PKC-zeta) in retinas of different species were analysed by immunohistochemistry and SDS-PAGE/Western blotting, respectively. More than one component of different molecular weights reacted with the polyclonal antibodies in all retinal samples though in all instances a component of molecular weight corresponding to the individual PKCs was recognised and could be eliminated or reduced by preincubating the primary antibodies with the peptides used to generate the antibodies. PKC-zeta immunoreactivity was exclusively associated with the inner segments of the photoreceptors in both mammalian (guinea-pig, rabbit, rat) and non-mammalian (goldfish, chick) retinas. PKC-epsilon immunoreactivity is present in bipolar cells, particularly in their terminals of mammalian and goldfish retinas. In the chick retina immunoreactivity for this enzyme and for PKC-delta was with the inner segments of the photoreceptors. The Müller cells in mammalian retinas and a sub-population of ganglion cells in the goldfish retina exhibited positive immunoreactivity for PKC-delta. The immunoreactivities for all the PKC isoenzymes were eliminated or drastically reduced when the primary antibodies were first preincubated with the peptides used to generate the antibodies.

Abstract
Arrestin is supposed to be involved in uncoupling receptor-mediated second messenger cascades. Clones encoding proteins homologous to arrestin have been isolated from antennal cDNA libraries of Locusta migratoria and Heliothis virescens. Based on the size and several characteristic motifs, the two proteins are considered as members of different arrestin subfamilies. One of the subtypes, which has also been found in Drosophila, lacks the regulatory acidic C-terminal. The putative site of interaction with phosphorylated receptors, a cationic region in the primary structure, is conserved in all identified arrestins from locust to human.

Abstract
Photoreceptor guanylyl cyclase activity is modulated by an endogenous calcium-binding protein called recoverin. A modified isolation procedure for recoverin using gel-filtration chromatography instead of a heat denaturation step is presented. The elution volume of recoverin corresponds to a monomer. Recoverin exhibits a calcium-dependent mobility shift in a native gel electrophoresis. Isoelectric focusing revealed a pI of 5.25. No subspecies of recoverin were detected.

Abstract
An extract of rat retina was subjected to Mono Q followed by chromatography on hydroxyapatite, and the protein kinase C (PKC) subspecies were identified by immunoblot and biochemical analysis. It was found that, although the relative activities assayed with myelin basic protein as a common phosphate acceptor vary greatly with one another, the alpha-, beta I-, beta II-, gamma-, delta-, epsilon-, zeta-, and another structurally unknown PKC subspecies are expressed in this tissue. Thus, the retina is a unique tissue which expresses most of the PKC subspecies so far identified in mammals.

Abstract
Recoverin, a new calcium binding protein from bovine rod photoreceptor cells, activates guanylyl cyclase below a free calcium concentration of 200 nM. We show here that recoverin is phosphorylated by an endogenous kinase and Mg-ATP at the same decreased calcium concentration. The calcium-dependent activation of guanylyl cyclase is enhanced in the presence of ATP. We suggest that phosphorylation of recoverin reinforces the stimulation of guanylyl cyclase at decreased calcium concentrations.
