lüll G protein-coupled receptor rhodopsin: a prospectus Filipek S; Stenkamp RE; Teller DC; Palczewski KAnnu Rev Physiol 2003[]; 65 (ä): 851-79Rhodopsin is a retinal photoreceptor protein of bipartite structure consisting of the transmembrane protein opsin and a light-sensitive chromophore 11-cis-retinal, linked to opsin via a protonated Schiff base. Studies on rhodopsin have unveiled many structural and functional features that are common to a large and pharmacologically important group of proteins from the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, of which rhodopsin is the best-studied member. In this work, we focus on structural features of rhodopsin as revealed by many biochemical and structural investigations. In particular, the high-resolution structure of bovine rhodopsin provides a template for understanding how GPCRs work. We describe the sensitivity and complexity of rhodopsin that lead to its important role in vision.|Amino Acid Sequence[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|GTP-Binding Proteins/*chemistry/*metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Molecular Sequence Data[MESH]|Protein Structure, Tertiary[MESH]|Rhodopsin/*chemistry/*metabolism[MESH] |
