Arrestin facilitates phototransduction inactivation through binding to photoactivated and phosphorylated rhodopsin (R*P). However, the specific portions of arrestin that bind to R*P are not known. In this study, two different approaches were used to determine the regions of arrestin that bind to rhodopsin: panning of phage-displayed arrestin fragments against R*P and cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity inhibition using synthetic arrestin peptides spanning the entire arrestin protein. Phage display indicated the predominant region of binding was contained within amino acids 90−140. A portion of this region (residues 95−140) expressed as a fusion protein with glutathioneS-transferase is capable of binding to rhodopsin regardless of the activation or phosphorylation state of the receptor. Within this region, the synthetic peptide of residues 109−130 was shown to completely inhibit the binding of arrestin to rhodopsin with an IC50of 1.1 mM. The relatively high IC50of this competition suggests that this portion of the molecule may be only one of several regions of binding between arrestin and R*P. A survey of synthetic arrestin peptides in the PDE assay indicated that the two most effective inhibitors of PDE activity were peptides of residues 111−130 and 101−120. These results indicate that at least one of the principal regions of binding between arrestin and R*P is contained within the region of residues 109−130.
