Inactivation of the visual G protein
transducin, during recovery from photoexcitation, is regulated by
RGS9-1, a GTPase-accelerating protein of the ubiquitous RGS
protein family. Incubation of dark-adapted bovine rod outer segments
with [ -32P]ATP led to RGS9-1 phosphorylation by
an endogenous kinase in rod outer segment membranes, with an average
stoichiometry of 0.2-0.45 mol of phosphates/mol of RGS9-1. Mass
spectrometry revealed a single major site of phosphorylation,
Ser475. The kinase responsible catalyzed robust
phosphorylation of recombinant RGS9-1 and not of an S475A
mutant. A synthetic peptide corresponding to the region surrounding
Ser475 was also phosphorylated, and a similar peptide with
the S475A substitution inhibited RGS9-1 phosphorylation. The RGS9-1
kinase is a peripheral membrane protein that co-purifies with rhodopsin in sucrose gradients and can be extracted in buffers of high ionic strength. It is not inhibited or activated significantly by a panel of
inhibitors or activators of protein kinase A, protein kinase G,
rhodopsin kinase, CaM kinase II, casein kinase II, or cyclin-dependent kinase 5, at concentrations 50 or more
times higher than their reported IC50 or
Ki values. It was inhibited by the protein kinase C
inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide I and by lowering Ca2+ to
nanomolar levels with EGTA; however, it was not stimulated by the
addition of phorbol ester, under conditions that significantly enhanced
rhodopsin phosphorylation. A monoclonal antibody specific for the
Ser475-phosphorylated form of RGS9-1 recognized RGS9-1 in
immunoblots of dark-adapted mouse retina. Retinas from light-adapted
mice had much lower levels of RGS9-1 phosphorylation. Thus, RGS9-1 is
phosphorylated on Ser475 in vivo, and the
phosphorylation level is regulated by light and by
[Ca2+], suggesting the importance of the modification in
light adaptation.
