    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as a transducer of a visual impulse between rhodopsin and cGMP-phosphodiesterase
  • likely a GNAT1-independent phototransduction mechanism downstream of rod opsin can support relatively widespread responses in the mammalian visual system
  • PDE6G with RHO, GNAT1, GNB1, are active in phototransduction in rods only

    a component
  • component of a trimeric guanine binding protein with beta and gamma subunits
  • ADP-ribosylation
  • myristate
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule nucleotide,
  • GTP
  • guanine nucleotide binding
  • protein
  • activating cGMP-phosphodiesterase leading to towing of cGMP concentration and closure of the cGMP dependent cation channels
  • as a dominant partner, GNAT1 may potentially modulate the function of other known UNC119-interacting proteins involved in photoreceptor ciliary trafficking and synaptic regulation, in a light-dependent manner
  • GNAT1, NPHP3, and PKD1 bind with high affinity to UNC119, whereas a peptide derived from a non-ciliary localizing protein (SRC) has low affinity

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • IRD1 and IRD2 mice harbor a nonsense mutation in the Gnat1 gene, resulting in the absence or suppressed expression of the Tralpha protein, which is the likely cause of rod dysfunction in both mutants
