Abstract

Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 2 (GCAP-2) is a recoverin-like calcium-binding protein that regulates photoreceptor guanylyl cyclase (RetGC) (Dizhoor, A. M., and Hurley, J. B. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 19346-19350). It was reported that myristoylation of a related protein, GCAP-1, was critical for its affinity for RetGC (Frins, S., Bonigk, W., Muller, F., Kellner, R., and Koch, K.-W. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 8022-8027). We demonstrate that the N terminus of GCAP-2, like those of other members of the recoverin family of Ca2+-binding proteins, is fatty acylated. However, unlike other proteins of this family, more GCAP-2 is present in the membrane fraction at low Ca2+ than at high Ca2+ concentrations. We investigated the role of the N-terminal fatty acyl residue in the ability of GCAP-2 to regulate RetGCs. Myristoylated or nonacylated GCAP-2 forms were expressed in Escherichia coli. Wild-type GCAP-2 and the Gly2 --> Ala2 GCAP-2 mutant, which is unable to undergo N-terminal myristoylation, were also expressed in mammalian HEK293 cells. We found that compartmentalization of GCAP-2 in photoreceptor outer segment membranes is Ca2+- and ionic strength-sensitive, but it does not require the presence of the fatty acyl group and do...Continue Reading
