The catalytic subunit of phosphatase 2A dephosphorylates phosphoopsin
Abstract
Rod cell outer segments were found to contain a protein phosphatase activity toward phosphoopsin with properties very similar to those of protein phosphatase 1 or 2A. The opsin phosphatase activity was stable to ethanol precipitation, had a Mr of 35,000-38,000 as determined by gel filtration, and was not dependent on divalent cations for activity. The chromatographic properties on DEAE-cellulose of the rod outer segment protein phosphatase were also similar to those reported for protein phosphatase 1 or 2A. In order to distinguish between these two protein phosphatases, we tested homogeneous preparations of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A from skeletal muscle for activity toward phosphoopsin. Protein phosphatase 2A dephosphorylated phosphoopsin at approximately 10% of its rate toward phosphorylase a, whereas protein phosphatase 1 had no activity toward phosphoopsin. We conclude that protein phosphatase 2A is present in the rod cell outer segment and that it is a likely candidate to perform the in vivo dephosphorylation of rhodopsin in the visual cycle.
