UniProt functional annotation for Q15835

UniProt code: Q15835.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Retina-specific kinase involved in the signal turnoff via phosphorylation of rhodopsin (RHO), the G protein- coupled receptor that initiates the phototransduction cascade (PubMed:15946941). This rapid desensitization is essential for scotopic vision and permits rapid adaptation to changes in illumination (By similarity). May play a role in the maintenance of the outer nuclear layer in the retina (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9WVL4, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15946941}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP + L-threonyl-[rhodopsin] = ADP + H(+) + O-phospho-L- threonyl-[rhodopsin]; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:56552, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:14596, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:14597, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30013, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:61977, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=2.7.11.14; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15946941};
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP + L-seryl-[rhodopsin] = ADP + H(+) + O-phospho-L-seryl- [rhodopsin]; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:23356, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:14594, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:14595, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:29999, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:83421, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=2.7.11.14; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15946941};
Activity regulation: Inhibited by RCVRN, which prevents the interaction between GRK1 and RHO (By similarity). Inhibition is calcium-dependent (By similarity). Inhibited by phosphorylation of Ser-21. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P28327, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15946941}.
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=3.5 uM for rhodopsin {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15946941}; KM=10.6 uM for ATP {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15946941}; Vmax=1132 nmol/min/mg enzyme {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15946941};
Subunit: Interacts (via N-terminus) with RCVRN (via C-terminus); the interaction is Ca(2+)-dependent (By similarity). Interacts (when prenylated) with PDE6D; this promotes release from membranes (By similarity). May form a complex composed of RHO, GRK1 and RCVRN in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner; RCVRN prevents the interaction between GRK1 and RHO (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P28327}.
Subcellular location: Membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P28327}; Lipid- anchor {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P28327}. Cell projection, cilium, photoreceptor outer segment {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9WVL4}. Note=Subcellular location is not affected by light or dark conditions. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9WVL4}.
Tissue specificity: Retinal-specific. Expressed in rods and cones cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11717351}.
Ptm: Autophosphorylated, Ser-21 is a minor site of autophosphorylation compared to Ser-491 and Thr-492 (By similarity). Phosphorylation at Ser-21 is regulated by light and activated by cAMP. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15946941}.
Ptm: Farnesylation is required for full activity. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P28327}.
Disease: Night blindness, congenital stationary, Oguchi type 2 (CSNBO2) [MIM:613411]: A non-progressive retinal disorder characterized by impaired night vision, often associated with nystagmus and myopia. Congenital stationary night blindness Oguchi type is associated with fundus discoloration and abnormally slow dark adaptation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17070587, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9020843}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. GPRK subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
