Sophistication
shown with InaD, a polypeptide with 5 PDZ domains that
|
regulates
phototransduction in Drosophila photoreceptors. InaD associates
|
through distinct
PDZ domains with a calcium channel (TRP);
|
phospholipase C-b and PKC.
|
|
|
InaD organizes
these proteins into a signaling complex that allows efficient
|
activation of the
TRP channel by PKC-b in response to stimulation of
|
rhodopsin and
deactivation through phosphorylation of TRP by PKC. InaD
|
acts a scaffold
to organize a complex that mediates light activated signaling
|
events.
