Recentstudies have shown that the stoichiometry of the inhibited holoenzyme is a/? 72. Ta-GTP and 7 act reciprocally. We have investigated the activation mechanism using fluorescein-labeled 7 subunit (7F) as a probe. 7F containing a single covalently attached fluorescein was prepared by reaction of PDE with 5-(iodoacetamido) fluorescein and purification by reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). 7F, like native 7, inhibits the catalytic activity of trypsin-activated PDE and transducin-activated PDE. Inhibition by 7F was overcome by further addition of Ta-GTP. 7F binds very weakly to ROS membranes stripped of PDE and other peripheral membrane proteins. 7F added to ROS membranes became incorporated into a component that could be extracted with a low ionic strength buffer. HPLC gel filtration showed that 7F became part of the PDE holoenzyme. Incorporation occurred in less than 1 min in the presence of light and GTP, but much more slowly (Z1/2~ 500 s) in the absence of GTP. This result indicates that transducin activates PDE by binding to the holoenzyme and accelerating the dissociation of 7 from the inhibitory sites. The binding of 7F to trypsin-activated PDEa# 3 was monitored by steady-state emissionanisotropy measurements and compared with PDE activity. The results indicate that occupancy of each 7 binding site suppresses about half of the total activity of PDEa (J; the dissociation constants for these sites are similar (~ 10 pM). Our results fit a simple model in which Ta-GTP interacts first with an afiyy holoenzyme and carries away one of the 7 subunits, to form a partially active^ complex. This complex can then be converted to fully active PDEa (S when a second 7 subunit is carried away by anotherTa-GTP. The TQ-PDE7 complex stays bound to the membrane.
