General description
GRK7 is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor kinase subfamily and is a Ser/Thr protein kinase. GRK7 is specifically expressed in the retina and has been shown to phosphorylate cone opsins and initiate their deactivation. GRK7 catalyzes rhodopsin phosphorylation in a light-dependent manner. GRK7 co-localizes with GRK1 in human cone outer segments. PKA phosphorylates GRK7 at Ser(23) and Ser(36) in vitro and phosphorylation of GRK7 by PKA reduces the ability of GRK7 to phosphorylate rhodopsin in vitro. Since exposure to light causes a decrease in cAMP levels in rod cells, it is proposed that phosphorylation of GRK7 by PKA occurs in the dark.

Homozygous inactivation of the mouse gene for GRK1 (G protein-coupled receptor kinase 1, or rhodopsin kinase) causes severe defects in the recovery of cone phototransduction. However, electroretinographic (ERG) analyses of human oguchi patients with defective GRK1 alleles showed normal or

Phosphorylation of G protein-coupled receptors is a critical step in the rapid termination of G protein signaling. In rod cells of the vertebrate retina, phosphorylation of rhodopsin is mediated by GRK1. In cone cells, either GRK1, GRK7, or both, depending
