Cellular transport and secretion

A photoreceptor-specific MEKA protein was purified from bovine retinal soluble fraction. The purified sample was eluted as a single peak of 74 kDa protein from a Superose column, which was dissolved into three components, MEKA protein (32 kDa), beta-(36 kDa) and gamma-(10 kDa) subunits of transducin on a SDS-PAGE. From several lines of evidence, we concluded that MEKA protein is identical with a 33k phosphoprotein reported by Lee et al (1).
