Abstract
Phototransduction in vertebrate photoreceptor cells is controlled by Ca2+-dependent feedback loops involving the membrane-bound guanylate cyclase GC-E that synthesizes the second messenger guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate. Intracellular Ca2+-sensor proteins named guanylate cyclase-activating proteins (GCAPs) regulate the activity of GC-E by switching from a Ca2+-bound inhibiting state to a Ca2+-free/Mg2+-bound activating state. The gene GUCY2D encodes for human GC-E, and mutations in GUCY2D are often associated with an imbalance of Ca2+ and cGMP homeostasis causing retinal disorders. Here, we investigate the Ca2+-dependent inhibition of the constitutively active GC-E mutant V902L. The inhibition is not mediated by GCAP variants but by Ca2+ replacing Mg2+ in the catalytic center. Distant from the cyclase catalytic domain is an α-helical domain containing a highly conserved helix-turn-helix motif. Mutating the critical amino acid position 804 from leucine to proline left the principal activation mechanism intact but resulted in a lower level of catalytic efficiency. Our experimental analysis of amino acid positions in two distant GC-E domains implied an allosteric communication pathway connecting the α-helical and the cyclase catalytic domains. A computational connectivity analysis unveiled critical differences between wildtype GC-E and the mutant V902L in the allosteric network of critical amino acid positions.

Abstract
Guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C) is a multidomain, membrane-associated receptor guanylyl cyclase. GC-C is primarily expressed in the gastrointestinal tract, where it mediates fluid-ion homeostasis, intestinal inflammation, and cell proliferation in a cGMP-dependent manner, following activation by its ligands guanylin, uroguanylin, or the heat-stable enterotoxin peptide (ST). GC-C is also expressed in neurons, where it plays a role in satiation and attention deficiency/hyperactive behavior. GC-C is glycosylated in the extracellular domain, and differentially glycosylated forms that are resident in the endoplasmic reticulum (130 kDa) and the plasma membrane (145 kDa) bind the ST peptide with equal affinity. When glycosylation of human GC-C was prevented, either by pharmacological intervention or by mutation of all of the 10 predicted glycosylation sites, ST binding and surface localization was abolished. Systematic mutagenesis of each of the 10 sites of glycosylation in GC-C, either singly or in combination, identified two sites that were critical for ligand binding and two that regulated ST-mediated activation. We also show that GC-C is the first identified receptor client of the lectin chaperone vesicular integral membrane protein, VIP36. Interaction with VIP36 is dependent on glycosylation at the same sites that allow GC-C to fold and bind ligand. Because glycosylation of proteins is altered in many diseases and in a tissue-dependent manner, the activity and/or glycan-mediated interactions of GC-C may have a crucial role to play in its functions in different cell types.

Abstract
Cyclic GMP is a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates a wide array of physiologic processes such as blood pressure, long bone growth, intestinal fluid secretion, phototransduction and lipolysis. Soluble and single-membrane-spanning enzymes called guanylyl cyclases (GC) synthesize cGMP. In humans, the latter group consists of GC-A, GC-B, GC-C, GC-E and GC-F, which are also known as NPR-A, NPR-B, StaR, Ret1-GC and Ret2-GC, respectively. Membrane GCs are activated by peptide ligands such as atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), guanylin, uroguanylin, heat stable enterotoxin and GC-activating proteins. Nesiritide and carperitide are clinically approved peptide-based drugs that activate GC-A. CD-NP is an experimental heart failure drug that primarily activates GC-B but also activates GC-A at high concentrations and is resistant to degradation. Inactivating mutations in GC-B cause acromesomelic dysplasia type Maroteaux dwarfism and chromosomal mutations that increase CNP concentrations are associated with Marfanoid-like skeletal overgrowth. Pump-based CNP infusions increase skeletal growth in a mouse model of the most common type of human dwarfism, which supports CNP/GC-B-based therapies for short stature diseases. Linaclotide is a peptide activator of GC-C that stimulates intestinal motility and is in late-stage clinical trials for the treatment of chronic constipation. This review discusses the discovery of cGMP, guanylyl cyclases, the general characteristics and therapeutic applications of GC-A, GC-B and GC-C, and emphasizes the regulation of transmembrane guanylyl cyclases by phosphorylation and ATP.

Abstract
Rod and cone cells of the mammalian retina harbor two types of a membrane bound guanylate cyclase (GC), rod outer segment guanylate cyclase type 1 (ROS-GC1) and ROS-GC2. Both enzymes are regulated by small Ca(2+)-binding proteins named GC-activating proteins that operate as Ca2+ sensors and enable cyclases to respond to changes of intracellular Ca2+after illumination. We determined the expression level of ROS-GC2 in bovine ROS preparations and compared it with the level of ROS-GC1 in ROSs. The molar ratio of a ROS-GC2 dimer to rhodopsin was 1 : 13 200. The amount of ROS-GC1 was 25-fold higher than the amount of ROS-GC2. Heterologously expressed ROS-GC2 was differentially activated by GC-activating protein 1 and 2 at low free Ca2+ concentrations. Mutants of GC-activating protein 2 modulated ROS-GC2 in a manner different from their action on ROS-GC1 indicating that the Ca2+ sensitivity of the Ca2+ sensor is controlled by the mode of target-sensor interaction.

Abstract
Rod outer segment membrane guanylate cyclase (ROS-GC) is a critical component of the vertebrate phototransduction machinery. In response to photoillumination, it senses a decline in free Ca(2+) levels from 500 to below 100 nM, becomes activated, and replenishes the depleted cyclic GMP pool to restore the dark state of the photoreceptor cell. It exists in two forms, ROS-GC1 and ROS-GC2. In outer segments, ROS-GCs sense fluctuations in Ca(2+) via two Ca(2+)-binding proteins, which have been termed GCAP1 and GCAP2. In the present study we report on the cloning of two ROS-GCs from the frog retinal cDNA library. These cyclases are the structural and functional counterparts of the mammalian ROS-GC1 and ROS-GC2. There is, however, an important difference between the regulation of mammalian and frog ROS-GC1: In contrast to the mammalian, the frog form does not require the myristoylated form of GCAP1 for its Ca(2+)-dependent modulation. This feature is not dependent upon the ability of frog GCAP1 to bind Ca(2+) because unmyristoylated GCAP1 mutants which do not bind Ca(2+), activate frog ROS-GC1. The findings establish frog as a suitable phototransduction model and show a facet of frog ROS-GC signaling, which is not shared by the mammalian form.

Abstract
We have identified a novel membrane form of guanylate cyclase (GC) from a mouse testis cDNA library and termed it mGC-G (mouse GC-G) based on its high sequence homology to rat GC-G. It encodes a potential type I transmembrane receptor, with the characteristic domain structure common to all members of the family of membrane GCs, including an extracellular, putative ligand-binding domain, a single membrane-spanning segment and cytoplasmic protein kinase-like and cyclase catalytic domains. Real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase--PCR and Northern-blot analyses showed that mGC-G is highly and selectively expressed in mouse testis. Phylogenetic analysis based on the extracellular protein sequence revealed that mGC-G is closely related to members of the subfamily of natriuretic peptide receptor GCs. When overexpressed in HEK-293T cells (human embryonic kidney 293T cells) or COS-7 cells, mGC-G manifests as a membrane-bound glycoprotein, which can form either homomeric or heteromeric complexes with the natriuretic peptide receptor GC-A. It exhibits marked cGMP-generating GC activity; however, notably, all ligands known to activate other receptor GCs failed to stimulate enzymic activity. The unique testis-enriched expression of mGC-G, which is completely different from the broader tissue distribution of rat GC-G, suggests the existence of as-yet-unidentified ligands and unappreciated species-specific physiological functions mediated through mGC-G/cGMP signalling in the testis.

Abstract
The membrane-bound guanylyl cyclase in rod photoreceptors is activated by guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 1 (GCAP-1) at low free [Ca2+]. GCAP-1 is a Ca2+-binding protein and belongs to the superfamily of EF-hand proteins. We created an oligopeptide library of overlapping peptides that encompass the entire amino acid sequence of GCAP-1. Peptides were used in competitive screening assays to identify interaction regions in GCAP-1 that directly bind the guanylyl cyclase in bovine photoreceptor cells. We found four regions in GCAP-1 that participate in regulating guanylyl cyclase. A 15-amino acid peptide located adjacent to the second EF-hand motif (Phe73-Lys87) was identified as the main interaction domain. Inhibition of GCAP-1-stimulated guanylyl cyclase activity by the peptide Phe73-Lys87 was completely relieved when an excess amount of GCAP-1 was added. An affinity column made from this peptide was able to bind a complex of photoreceptor guanylyl cyclase and tubulin. Using an anti-GCAP-1 antibody, we coimmunoprecipitated GCAP-1 with guanylyl cyclase and tubulin. Complex formation between GCAP-1 and guanylyl cyclase was observed independent of [Ca2+]. Our experiments suggest that there exists a tight association of guanylyl cyclase and tubulin in rod outer segments.

Abstract
Several chromatographic methods have been developed for the isolation and characterization of glycoproteins. In these methods, affinity chromatography, a single-step method, or combined use with general chromatographic methods have now become essential for the purification of many biologically important glycoproteins, including alpha1-acid glycoprotein, immunoglobulins, ceruloplasmin and erythropoietin. On the other hand, almost all glycoproteins exhibit polymorphism associated with their glycan moieties. This feature is wide-spread and has been observed in natural as well as in recombinant DNA glycoproteins. Recently, several sophisticated techniques--such as electromigration method (high-performance capillary electrophoresis) and chromatographic methods (two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, high-pH anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed-amperometric detection)--have been introduced for qualitative or quantitative estimation of the microheterogeneity of glycoproteins. For gaining further insight into the structure-function relations for microheterogeneity, preparative chromatographic techniques that can yield sufficient quantities of glycoprotein variants must be developed.

Abstract
The membrane-bound guanylyl cyclase in vertebrate photoreceptor cells is one of the key enzymes in visual transduction. It is highly sensitive to the free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]). The activation process is cooperative and mediated by a novel calcium-binding protein named GCAP (guanylyl cyclase-activating protein). We isolated GCAP from bovine rod outer segments, determined amino acid sequences of proteolytically obtained peptides, and cloned its gene. The Ca2+-bound form of native GCAP has an apparent molecular mass of 20.5 kDa and the Ca2+-free form of 25 kDa as determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Recombinant GCAP was functionally expressed in Escherichia coli. Activation of guanylyl cyclase in vertebrate photoreceptor cells by native acylated GCAP was half-maximal at 100 nM free [Ca2+] with a Hill coefficient of 2.5. Activation by recombinant nonacylated GCAP showed a lower degree of cooperativity (n = 2.0), and half-maximal activation was shifted to 261 nM free [Ca2+]. Immunocytochemically we localized GCAP only in rod and cone cells of a bovine retina.

Abstract
One of the membrane guanylyl cyclases (GCs), RetGC, is expressed predominantly in photoreceptors. No extracellular ligand has been described for RetGC, but it is sensitive to activation by a soluble 24-kDa protein (p24) and is inhibited by Ca2+. This enzyme is, therefore, thought to play a role in resynthesizing cGMP for photoreceptor recovery or adaptation. By screening a human retinal cDNA library at low stringency with the cytoplasmic domains from four cyclases, we cloned cDNAs encoding a membrane CG that is most closely related to RetGC. We have named this GC RetGC-2, and now term the initially described RetGC RetGC-1. By in situ hybridization, mRNA encoding RetGC-2 is found only in the outer nuclear layer and inner segments of photoreceptor cells. By using synthetic peptide antiserum specific for each RetGC subtype, RetGC-2 can be distinguished from RetGC-1 as a slightly smaller protein in immunoblots of bovine rod outer segments. Membrane GC activity of recombinant RetGC-2 expressed in human embryonic kidney 293 cells is stimulated by the activator p24 and is inhibited by Ca2+ with an EC50 value of 50-100 nM. Our data reveal a previously unappreciated diversity of photoreceptor GCs.

Abstract
The cDNAs for two membrane guanylyl cyclases, designated E (GC-E) and F (GC-F, were isolated from a rat eye cDNA library. Their deduced topographic structures correspond to known members of the guanylyl cyclase receptor family, containing an extracellular domain, a single membrane-spanning domain, a protein kinase-like domain, and a cyclase catalytic domain. GC-E was expressed in the eye and the pineal gland, whereas GC-F expression was confined to the eye. Overproduction of GC-E and GC-F in COS cells resulted in expression of guanylyl cyclase activity, but ligands known to activate other guanylyl cyclase receptors failed to stimulate enzyme activity. Thus, both GC-E and GC-F remain orphan receptors. Amino acid sequence similarity between GC-E and GC-F in the extracellular region and homology with a cyclase expressed in olfactory neurons and retGC, a rod outer-segment-specific cyclase, suggest that there is another subfamily of guanylyl cyclase receptors, possibly restricted to sensory tissues.
