  • Rhodopsin inhibitory protein is a protein that interacts with photo-activated phosphorylated rhodopsin in vivo to inhibit the interaction of rhodopsin and transductin. All rhodopsin inhibitor proteins constitute a large protein superfamily, the rhodopsin inhibitor protein superfamily. Members of this protein superfamily act as important regulatory proteins in vivo, downstream regulating the expression and role of phosphorylated G protein membrane receptors in vivo.
  • the rhodopsin inhibitor protein is widely distributed in organisms, and a large number of members of this protein family are found in various higher organisms.
  • the rhodopsin inhibitory proteins in spinal and non-spinal animals were studied. Based on their sequence similarity, members of the protein superfamily can be divided into five subfamilies. Seven variable structural motifs and four conserved structural motifs were found in all family members.

  • the rhodopsin inhibitor protein family from all different sources also has high homology. Therefore, members of this protein family are evolutionarily conserved [Craf t CM, Whitmore DH, 1995, FEBS Let t, 362: 247 —255].
  • This sequence fragment contains a large number of highly variable, hydrophobic amino acid residues, which may be the central region of the protein that binds to rhodopsin and performs normal physiological functions. Mutations of some amino acid sites in this region will lead to abnormal expression and function of the protein, which will cause abnormalities in the regulation processes of various related organisms. For example, failure to properly regulate the expression of G protein will cause abnormal proliferation of related tissues and cells or Cell signal transduction is blocked.
