Abstract
The retinal pigment epithelium-photoreceptor interphase is renewed each day in a stunning display of cellular interdependence. While photoreceptors use photosensitive pigments to convert light into electrical signals, the RPE supports photoreceptors in their function by phagocytizing shed photoreceptor tips, regulating the blood retina barrier, and modulating inflammatory responses, as well as regenerating the 11-cis-retinal chromophore via the classical visual cycle. These processes involve multiple protein complexes, tightly regulated ligand-receptors interactions, and a plethora of lipids and protein-lipids interactions. The role of lipids in maintaining a healthy interplay between the RPE and photoreceptors has not been fully delineated. In recent years, novel technologies have resulted in major advancements in understanding several facets of this interplay, including the involvement of lipids in phagocytosis and phagolysosome function, nutrient recycling, and the metabolic dependence between the two cell types. In this review, we aim to integrate the complex role of lipids in photoreceptor and RPE function, emphasizing the dynamic exchange between the cells as well as discuss how these processes are affected in aging and retinal diseases.

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
Inactivation of the visual G-protein transducin by GTP hydrolysis is regulated by the GTPase-accelerating protein (GAP) RGS9-1. Regulation of RGS9-1 itself is poorly understood, but we found previously that it is subject to a light- and Ca(2+)-sensitive phosphorylation on Ser(475). Because there are much higher RGS9-1 levels in cones than in rods, we investigated whether Ser(475) is phosphorylated in rods using Coneless mice and found that both the phosphorylation and its regulation by light occur in rods. Therefore, we used rod outer segments as the starting material for the purification of RGS9-1 kinase activity. Two major peaks of activity corresponded to protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes, PKCalpha and PKCtheta. A synthetic peptide corresponding to the Ser(475) RGS9-1 sequence and RGS9-1 were substrates for recombinant PKCalpha and PKCtheta. This phosphorylation was removed efficiently by protein phosphatase 2A, an endogenous phosphatase in rod outer segments, but not by PP1 or PP2B. Phosphorylation of RGS9-1 by PKC had little effect on its activity in solution but significantly decreased its affinity for its membrane anchor protein and GAP enhancer, RGS9-1 anchor protein (R9AP). PKCtheta immunostaining was at higher levels in cone outer segments than in rod outer segments, as was found for the components of the RGS9-1 GAP complex. Thus, PKC-mediated phosphorylation of RGS9-1 represents a potential mechanism for feedback control of the kinetics of photoresponse recovery in both rods and cones, with this mechanism probably especially important in cones.

Abstract
In this study we show that SV-IV, a major immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and sperm immunoprotective protein secreted from the rat seminal vesicle epithelium, acts in vitro as a substrate of protein kinase C (PKC) competing efficiently with H1 histone, a very well known PKC substrate. Electrospray mass spectrometry (ES-MS) analysis demonstrated that approximately 10% of the native SV-IV molecules were phosphorylated by PKC and that such a modification involved only a single serine residue (Ser58) out of the 22 occurring in the protein. Interestingly, this modification produced a substantial enhancement (approximately 50%) of the native SV-IV's ability to stimulate the activity of both horseradish peroxidase (POD) and selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase (GPX), an enzyme that is known to protect the mammalian spermatozoa from oxidative stress and loss of motility in the female genital tract following ejaculation. In contrast, the phosphorylation of SV-IV on Ser58 did not produce any effect on the anti-inflammatory properties of SV-IV, as measured by its ability to inhibit the phospholipase A2.

Abstract
The hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate is regulated by light in retinal rod outer segment (ROS) membranes. We recently reported that the activities of phosphatidylinositol synthetase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase are also higher in bleached (light-exposed) ROS (B-ROS). In this study, we investigated the effect of bleaching on diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase (DAG-kinase) activity in bovine and rat ROS membranes prepared from dark-adapted (D-ROS) or bleached (B-ROS) retinas. In bovine ROS, DAG-kinase activity toward endogenous DAG substrate was higher in B-ROS than in D-ROS. Quantification of DAG in both sets of membranes showed that the levels were the same, eliminating the possibility that the greater DAG-kinase activity was due to higher levels of endogenous substrate in B-ROS. DAG-kinase activity was also higher in B-ROS against an exogenous, water-soluable substrate (1, 2-didecanoyl-rac-glycerol), which competed with endogenous DAG substrate and saturated at approximately 2 mM. Immunoblot analysis with an anti-DAG-kinase gamma polyclonal antibody demonstrated that the gamma isoform was present in isolated bovine ROS. Immunocytochemistry of frozen bovine retinal sections confirmed the presence of DAG-kinase gamma immunoreactivity in ROS, as well as other retinal cells. Quantification of the immunoreactive products on western blots showed that more DAG-kinase gamma was present in B-ROS than in D-ROS. In an in vivo experiment, ROS prepared from rats exposed to 30 min of room light had greater DAG-kinase activity than ROS prepared from dark-adapted animals. Taken together, these data suggest that light exposure leads to the translocation of DAG-kinase from the cytosol to ROS membranes and that the greater DAG-kinase activity in B-ROS is due to the presence of more protein associated with ROS membranes.

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
A decrease of cytoplasmic Ca(2+)-concentration in vertebrate photoreceptor cells after illumination is necessary for light adaptation. Although the mechanisms of adaptation is not completely understood, several Ca(2+)-dependent cellular processes have been discovered. Some involve calcium-binding proteins like recoverin, guanylyl cyclase-activating protein and calmodulin, and their target proteins rhodopsin kinase, guanylyl cyclase, the cGMP-gated channel, and NO synthase. The activity of several enzymes or channels is directly controlled by Ca2+ and does not involve calcium-binding proteins. These proteins are pyrophosphatase, protein kinase C and the cGMP-gated channel.

Abstract
We have utilized several peptide specific antisera directed against the C-terminals (Wetsel et al, 1992) of several protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes (alpha, beta 1, beta 11, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta) to delineate the cellular localization of these PKC isozymes in rat retina. Antisera against PKC beta 1, beta 11, gamma, delta and epsilon were non-reactive in frozen rat retina sections, whereas, anti PKC alpha was strongly reactive with the outer plexiform, inner plexiform and nerve fiber cell layers. The most specific localization of immunoreactivity was observed with PKC zeta, which reacted strongly and exclusively with photoreceptor inner segments, but not outer segments. Immunoblot analysis of whole rat retina homogenate showed that anti-PKC alpha recognized an antigen of approximately 80kD and anti-PKC zeta recognized a approximately 72kD protein. Immunolocalization of PKC zeta to photoreceptor inner segments and possible functional significance are discussed.

Abstract
The cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) of retinal rods plays a key role in phototransduction and consists of two catalytic subunits (PDE alpha and PDE beta) and two identical inhibitory subunits (PDE gamma). Here we report that PDE alpha and PDE gamma are phosphorylated by protein kinase(s) C (PKC) from brain and rod outer segments (ROS). These same two types of PKC also phosphorylate PDE alpha in trypsin-activated PDE (without PDE gamma). In contrast, cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit phosphorylates both PDE alpha and PDE beta, but not PDE gamma. This kinase does not phosphorylate trypsin-activated PDE. The synthetic peptides AKVISNLLGPREAAV (PDE alpha 30-44) and KQRQTRQFKSKPPKK (PDE gamma 31-45) inhibited phosphorylation of PDE by PKC from ROS. These data suggest that sites (at least one for each subunit) for phosphorylation of PDE by PKC are localized in these corresponding regions of PDE alpha and PDE gamma. Isoenzyme-specific PKC antibodies against peptides unique to the alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon and zeta isoforms of protein kinase C were used to show that a major form of PKC in ROS is PKC alpha. However, other minor forms were also present.
