摘要

Rhodopsin is the light receptor that initiates phototransduction in rod photoreceptor cells. Thenstructure and function of rhodopsin are tightly linked to molecularinteractionsthatstabilize and determine thenreceptor’s functional state. Single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) was used to localize and quantifymolecularninteractions that structurally stabilize bovine and mouse rhodopsin from native disk membranes of rodnphotoreceptor cells. The mechanical unfolding of bovine and mouse rhodopsin revealed nine major unfoldingnintermediates, each intermediate defining a structurally stable segment in the receptor. These stable structuralnsegments had similar localization and occurrence in both bovine and mouse samples. For each structural segment,nparameters describing their unfolding energy barrier were determined by dynamic SMFS. No major differencesnwere observed between bovine and mouse rhodopsin, thereby implying that the structures of both rhodopsins arenlargely stabilized by similar molecular interactions.
