The ATPase domains interact with the proteins

Scc1 and Scc3, which together form a cohesin ring structure which embrace one or both copies of the replicated DNA.

Depolarized state of a resting rod cell is due to the presence of a large number of open nonselective ion channels that admit both Na+ & Ca²+ into the cell

Nonselective cation channels open in response to binding of the second messenger cGMP (cGMP-gated channels)

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

3 or 4 cGMP molecules must bind to each channel in order to open it; because of this cooperative allosteric interaction, channel opening is very sensitive to small changes in cGMP levels.

Light absorption by rhodopsin→activation of a cGMP PDE → hydrolyzes cGMP to 5′-GMP→ cGMP levels  drop →channel close →membrane hyperpolarization→reduction in NT release→transmitted to brain
