    basic FUNCTION
  • photoreceptor membrane guanylyl cyclase regulated by the Ca2+-binding protein GUCA1B
  • both native GUCY2D, and GUCY2F isozymes are important for cGMP synthesis in photoreceptors

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interact with GUCA1B cooperatively with high affinity
  • RD36 colocalizes and binds to GUCY2D and GUCY2F and plays a crucial role in their stable expression and membrane trafficking in rod and cone photoreceptors
  • both GUCA1A and GUCA1B stimulate GUCY2F equally well at saturation
  • GUCY2D, GUCY2F interaction with RD3 inhibits GC catalytic activity and promotes the exit of GUCY2D, GUCY2F from the endoplasmic reticulum and their trafficking to photoreceptor outer segments

    REGULATION
    Other regulated by small Ca(2+)-binding proteins named GC-activating proteins that operate as Ca2+ sensors and enable cyclases to respond to changes of intracellular Ca2+ after illumination
