Question
Chapter 34, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanism of the reaction between opsin and 11-cis retinal should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The retinal is a conjugate chromophore of the human eye. The retinal in normal conditions is present in the 11-cis-retinal configuration. In the presence of light, it is straightened and converted into the all-trans-retinal configuration. This opsin pushes the retina that triggers chemical signaling cascade andresults in the perception of the light by the brain.

Short peptides such as legumain stabilization and activity modulation (LSAM) domain and αvβ3 integrin could enhance the activity of AEP. LSAM domain known as the prodomain of AEP blocks substrate binding before activation. This prodomain has a helical structure and two independent peptides. One is an activation peptide (AP, K287 to N323), and the other is a LSAM domain. LSAM domain remains even after AP is cleaved and released from protease at neutral pH via electrostatic interaction. AEP without LSAM domain has a lower melting temperature than AEP with LSAM domain [77, 117]. Another short peptide, αvβ3 integrin, can directly interact with AEP, and after forming a complex, the optimal pH for AEP activity is increased from 5.5 to 6.0. It indicates that αvβ3 binding could induce conformational stabilization of AEP accompanied by deprotonated C189. αvβ3 does not directly interact with the AEP active site; however, AEP docks to the αvβ3 RGD-binding site…arrow_forward
