The past seven years have witnessed a most exciting transition in thinking and research into the mechanism of visual transduction and adaptation. We have moved from a very long era where our attention was glued to the dominating quantity of visual pigment molecules in the receptors and their spectral changes upon bleaching to an era of minority-molecule wet biochemistry. The beginning of the latter saw introduction of the Ca” hypothesis (Hagins, 1972) and at the same time the important discoveries that light is able to indirectly modulate the behavior of nucleoside phosphate enzymes that control rhodopsin phosphorylation (Kuhn, Cook and Dreyer. 1973: Bownds, Dawes. Miller and Stahlman, 1972) and the phosphorylation of other proteins (Bitensky, Gorman and Miller, 1971: Bitensky, IMiki, Keirns, Keirns, Baraban, Freeman. Wheeler, Lacy and Marcus, 1975). Important also has been the focusing of attention upon the quantitative aspects of transduction and adaptation, ie specification of amplification (Yoshikami and Hagins. 1973) and speed (Penn and Hagins, 1972; Baylor, Hodgkin and Lamb, 1974) required of any model seeking to explain these properties of visual receptors.Several years ago, like other laboratories, we began to seek experimental evidence that Ca” might be released in sufficient quantity and with sufficient speed to verify the CaZc hypothesis. We used both steady-state and kinetic approaches. the latter by using the Ca’* sensitive metalochromic indicator dye. Arsenazo III. Though we found rods to contain Ca* i in total amount consistent with the quantitative needs of the Ca’-hypothsis (Liebman, 1974), experiments in which we were very careful to exclude visible light before measurement consistently failed to demonstrate significant light-induced release of Ca”(Liebman. 1978). In the hope of reloading Ca” into rod disk vesicles that might be leaky to CaZC, we added a variety of energy providing compounds including ATP and cyclic nucleotides in the presence of Ca”. These provided neither evidence favoring presence of a Ca” pump nor subsequent light-mediated release (Liebman, 1978). However, addition of cyclic GMP (cGMP) in the presence of light and ATP produced a dramatic response in the Arsenazo III measurement that proved to be caused by protons associated with rapid hydrolysis of the cGMP, ie Hz0+ cGMP-’= 5’GMP-’+ H’(Liebman 1978). Though failing
