Abstract:G-protein-coupled
receptors are deactivated or desensitized by
phosphorylation by respective G-protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs).
In zebrafish rod and cone photoreceptor cells, four orthologous GRKs
are expressed participating in the deactivation of rod and cone opsins.
An important feature of GRKs in general is the consensus sites for
lipid modification, which would allow the posttranslational attachment
of isoprenoids facilitating membrane association and enzymatic performance.
