ATP, its nonhydrolyzable analogue, AMP-PNP;and albumin were found to promote the dissociation of rhodopsin kinase from rod outer segments (ROS) containing photoactivated-rhodopsin (Rho*). These features were embodied in a protocol for the recovery of rhodopsin kinase from incubations containing ROS which had been subjected to a wide range of treatments. It was found that the supernatants recovered from mixtures containing ATP, rhodopsin kinase, and photolyzed ROS membranes catalyzed a Rho*-independent peptide phosphorylation as well as dark-phosphorylation of rhodopsin. The activities of this activated kinase in the two aforementioned assays were 7-8% of the maximum intrinsic activity found in appropriate standard assays (i.e., light-stimulated phosphorylation of rhodopsin and Rho*-dependent peptide phosphorylation). The activated kinase reverted to its inactive resting-state in a time dependent fashion, giving a tau(1/2) of decay of similar to 2 min. The intrinsic activity of kinase as measured by the standard assay, however, remained constant during this decay period. No positive evidence was found to suggest that the interconversion activated kinase inactive kinase occurred by a phosphorylation event. Cumulatively, the results show that the interaction of rhodopsin kinase ATP complex with Rho* leads to the formation, presumably due to the reorganization of the protein structure, of a soluble active kinase species which reverts to the inactive resting state in a time-dependent fashion.
