Rapid termination mechanisms of the Rhodopsin Signalling:

1.GAP that inactivates Gαt·GTP

2.Ca2+ -sensing proteins that activate Guanylate Cyclase

3.Rhodopsin Phosphorylation and Binding of Arrestin

Light-triggered closing of the cGMP-gated cation

channels causes a drop in the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration inside the rod cell.

Low intracellular Ca2+ concentration is sensed by a class of Ca2+ -binding proteins known as guanylate cyclase–activating proteins.

Guanylate cyclase–activating proteins, 

bind to guanylate cyclase and stimulate its activity, elevating cGMP level and causing the cGMP-gated ion channels to reopen.
