What's a GeneRIF?

14-3-3 protein-mediated inhibition of Pdc binding to Gtbetagamma is based on steric occlusion of Pdc's Gtbetagamma binding surface.

14-3-3 phosphorylation of Pdc at Ser-54 and Ser-73 affects the structure of the whole Pdc molecule.
Title: Structural modulation of phosducin by phosphorylation and 14-3-3 protein binding.
phosducin has a role in regulating signaling in the rod outer segment compartment and there are distinct functions for phosphorylation sites 54 and 71
Title: Compartment-specific phosphorylation of phosducin in rods underlies adaptation to various levels of illumination.
data suggest that phosducin action is based on the reduction of transducin affinity to the membranes of rod outer segments, achieved by keeping the transducin beta gamma subunits apart from the alpha subunit

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
