Rhodopsin kinase

spinqualitylabelsall models Bovine rhodopsin kinase complex with ATP, Mg+2 and Cl- ions (PDB code 3c4x) Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image   Print3D Function Rhodopsin kinase (RK) is an enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of rhodopsin and ATP to phosphorhodopsin and ADP. RK is retina-specific and the phosphorylation of rhodopsin initiates the phototransduction cascade. The rapid desensitization permits rapid adaptation to changes in illumination. RK is inhibited by the neuronal calcium-binding protein recoverin. Disease Mutations in RK are associated with night blindness. Structural highlights The active site of RK is located between its small and large lobes and contains the nucleotide and Mg+2 ion. An Asp residue is the catalytic base residue. Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
