Abstract
Cellular signaling is vital to the proper functioning of a cell. In the visual system, as light activates the transmembrane receptor rhodopsin, a series of signals is initiated throughout the cell. This response begins with the activation of G proteins which couple to the rhodopsin. One important player in G protein signaling is Phosducin (Pdc). The unphosphorylated form of Pdc binds to the βγ subunit of the G protein.1 We used a proteomics approach to investigate the possibility of other binding partners for Pdc.
