Beschreibung:
Guanylate cyclase-activating proteins (GCAPs) are neuronal calcium sensors that activate retinal guanylate cyclases (GCs) in a Ca2+-dependent manner. GCAP5 from the retina of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) harbors a non-conserved cysteine cluster at its N-terminal. C15 and C17 prevent a Ca2+-dependent conformational change essential for a Ca2+-dependent regulation of retinal GCs. In exchange, they mediate redox-sensitive regulation. Further, GCAP5 binds ferrous iron with nanomolar affinity (Lim et al. 2017, Biochemistry 56(51): 6652-6661): Two GCAP5 molecules coordinate one ferrous iron with C15 and C17, forming an iron-sulfur cluster in a [Fe(SCys)4] complex. These unusual characteristics of GCAP5 lead to the conclusion that it might be involved in cell protection under oxidative stress conditions.
