Membrane-bound phosphodiesterase 6 (PDE6) plays an important role in visual signal transduction by regulating cGMP levels in rod photoreceptor cells. Our understanding of PDE6 catalysis and structure suffers from inadequate characterization of the α and β subunit catalytic core, interactions of the core with two intrinsically disordered, proteolysis-prone inhibitory PDEγ (Pγ) subunits, and binding of two types of isoprenyl-binding protein δ, called PrBP/δ, to the isoprenylated C-termini of the c ...[more]
