Light-Induced Relocalization of the Photoreceptor G Protein Transducin is Mediated by Binding Partner-Restricted Diffusion: New Insights into G Protein Subunit Dissociation
Phototransduction is a well characterized system for study of G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling. The GPCR rhodopsin couples to the heterotrimeric G protein transducin. Light-stimulated activation of transducin in turn activates phosphodiesterase (PDE), leading to closure to cGMP-gated chan...
