The structural and functional properties of arrestin were studied by subjecting the protein to limited proteolysis. Limited proteolysis by trypsin cleaves arrestin (48 kDa), producing 20-25-kDa fragments. Prior to this stage of proteolysis, trypsin produced 46.6-, 45.4-, and 42-kDa fragments. Structural analysis of the proteolytic fragments demonstrated major cleavage at the carboxyl terminus, indicating that the carboxyl terminus is highly exposed. We found that forms of arrestin truncated at their carboxyl terminus maintained their functional properties and bound to phosphorylated rhodopsin. Native arrestin binds only to photoexcited phosphorylated rhodopsin, whereas the truncated arrestin binds to phosphorylated rhodopsin independent of its exposure to light. The truncated forms of arrestin were separated from native arrestin by a chromatographic procedure and subsequently characterized in functional studies. The binding of the truncated forms of arrestin to phosphorylated photoexcited rhodopsin is more tight than the binding of native arrestin as determined by a direct binding assay and the phosphodiesterase assay. We suggest that the acidic carboxyl- terminal region of arrestin may act as a regulator for light-dependent binding to phosphorylated rhodopsin.
