DEGENERATION*

Peripherin/Rds is a tetraspanning membrane
protein that has been implicated in photoreceptor outer segment
morphogenesis and inherited retinal degenerative diseases. Together
with the structurally related protein, Rom-1, it forms a complex along
the rims of rod and cone disc membranes. We have compared the
oligomeric structure of these proteins from nonreduced and
dithiothreitol reduced membranes by velocity sedimentation, SDS-gel
electrophoresis, immunoaffinity chromatography, and chemical
cross-linking. Under reducing conditions peripherin/Rds and Rom-1
existed as homomeric and heteromeric core complexes devoid of
intermolecular disulfide bonds. Under nonreducing conditions core
complexes associated through intermolecular disulfide bonds to form
oligomers. One intermediate-size oligomer contained monomers and
disulfide-linked dimers of peripherin/Rds and Rom-1, while larger
oligomers consisted only of disulfide-linked peripherin/Rds dimers when
analyzed on nonreducing SDS gels. Consistent with this result, disc
membranes contained twice as much peripherin/Rds as Rom-1.
Peripherin/Rds individually expressed in COS-1 cells also formed
disulfide-linked oligomers bridged through Cys-150 residues, whereas
Rom-1 showed little tendency to form oligomers. These results indicate
that peripherin/Rds and Rom-1 associate noncovalently to form
multisubunit core complexes. Peripherin/Rds containing core complexes
interact through specific intermolecular disulfide bonds to form
oligomers which may play a crucial role in photoreceptor disc
morphogenesis and retinal degenerative diseases.
