Functional EF-Hands in Neuronal Calcium Sensor GCAP2 Determine Its Phosphorylation State and Subcellular Distribution , and Are Essential for Photoreceptor Cell Integrity

English version České info

Visual perception is initiated at retinal photoreceptor cells, where light activates an enzymatic cascade that reduces free cGMP. As cGMP drops, cGMP-channels close and reduce the inward current –including Ca2+ influx –⁠ so that photoreceptors hyperpolarize and emit a signal. As the light extinguishes, cGMP levels are restored to reestablish sensitivity. cGMP synthesis relies on guanylate cyclase/guanylate cyclase activating protein (RetGC/GCAP) complexes. GCAPs link the rate of cGMP synthesis to intracellular Ca2+ levels, by switching between a Ca2+-free state that activates cGMP synthesis during light exposure, and a Ca2+-bound state that arrests cGMP synthesis in the dark. It is established that GCAP1 mutations linked to adCORD disrupt this tight Ca2+ control of the cGMP levels. We here show that a GCAP2 functional transition from the Ca2+-free to the Ca2+-loaded form is essential for photoreceptor cell integrity, by a non-related mechanism. We show that GCAP2 locked in its Ca2+-free form is retained by phosphorylation and 14-3-3 binding to the proximal rod compartments, causing severe cell damage. This study identifies a pathway by which a sustained reduction in intracellular free Ca2+ could result in photoreceptor damage, relevant for light damage and for those genetic disorders resulting in “equivalent-light” scenarios.
