Comparative genomics of the cytoplasmic face of GPCR proteins
The cytoplasmic face of an opsin (or any GPCR) is comprised of three disjoint connecting loops and the carboxy terminus. It is presumably responsible for all interactions with downstream signal relaying partners because these latter are cytoplasmic proteins having no physical access to the extracellular loops or transmembrane segments. Here it must be noted that photoisomerization and retinal release from Schiff base deep within the transmembrane region must drive a significant change in conformation in the cytoplasmic face that differentiates its inactive from active states.
For bioinformatic purposes, it is convenient to 'reorganize' each linear protein sequence into its intracellular, membrane and outer regions for separate consideration. This is done below for the cytoplasmic face for 500 curated opsins from each of the 20 vertebrate opsin genetic loci using multiple representatives for each phylogenetic node and intense bracketing at eras of functional transition (eg between DRY and GRY opsins of RGR class). A range of non-opsin GPCR are included to define properties common to all members of this large gene family (not specific to opsins).
The two critical goals in GPCR research are finding the natural ligands (which largely concerns the extracellular and transmembrane regions) notably for orphan receptors and to determining their specific Galpha signaling partner among the 17 such paralogs in the vertebrate genome. For vertebrate opsins, the ligand is known (11-cis retinal or related) but the signaling partner generally is not. For example, does RGR opsin signal at all (most are predicted to signal with both Gi/o and Gq/11), to what regulatory effect, and what is the meaning of the abrupt shift in the DRY motif to GRY at boreoeuthere divergence?

While it might seem straightforward to thread any opsin onto its best fit among the five newly available crystallographic structures, that does not work for distantly related paralogs beyond the universal 7-transmembrane feature because loop regions can be of quite different length and so lack discernable alignability, having diverged greatly in amino acid sequence (even though they are all ultimately homologous).
While these structures entail various compromises (such as replacemente of C3 by lysozylme and deletion of carboxy tail to enable stable crystallization), they are hugely important to annotation transfer of sequence/function relationships via comparative genomics. Yet most of the 18 vertebrate opsin orthology classes have only remote models to date and even these can be indeterminate for mid-loop C2 residues (indicative of flexible conformation).

It has not proven feasible to predict loop conformations ab initio or from peptide libraries; it is folly to consider individual loop structure in isolation (rather than the cytoplasmic face in its entirety) or fail to specify the activation state being computed. Any predicted structure and special roles for individual residues must be consistent with the comparative genomics of close and even distant orthologs because binding relationships to Galpha and other proteins do not change rapidly in evolutionary time (as seen from heterologous substitution experiments). Even when a cytoplasmic loop seems to lack a definable structure, individual residues can be conserved over vast branch length times. That conservation must ultimately be explained.
Two new high resolution structures of squid melanopsin establish that the cytoplasmic face is not structurally homologous even within melanopsins. We knew this already from comparative genomics alignment but not specifically why. The xray structure exhibits unprecedented rigid extensions of transmembrane helices 5 and 6 of order 25 angstroms out into the cytoplasm, greatly constraining the intermediate residues of cytoplasmic loop C3. The proximal carboxy terminus also contributes importantly to the overall structure here.
This structure cannot be replicated in non-cephalopod melanopsins because conservation is observed only out to a proline 8 within the 127 residue FR motif. Even central conservation rapidly drops below 45% even within other lophotrochozoans. Consequently the 25 angstrom cytoplasmic knob of squid melanopsin has no value for annotation transfer but rather represents a lineage-specific innovation. Thus it likely has very little to do with Galpha signaling specificity.
The squid melanopsin structure, submitted online to SwissModel, could otherwise predict the structure of the cytoplasmic loops of all opsins of melanopsin class, of which 48 vertebrate sequences, 9 lophotrochozoan, 43 arthropod, and 1 cnidarian sequences are available here.
The Gq signalling partner will be used throughout these melanopsins, yet what features the Galpha protein specifically recognizes in the cytoplasmic face remain obscure. It cannot really be the terminal helical extension per se because squid Gq protein will prove structualy homologous to its 16 paralogs (in vertebrates) of different signaling types, meaning some universally conserved feature must be utilized instead.
The first cytoplasmic loop
This can be defined from bovine RHO1 and squid melanopsin structures or by bioinformatic calculation of transmembrane helices. Note the three online tools for that seldom agree with each other or xray structures (which have artefacts of their own). Here best representatives for each opsin class were found by blastp against SwissProt and the cytoplasmic loop taken from SwissProt annotation. It emerges that that a highly GPCR-conserved glutamate in transmembrane helix 2 must be a fixed number of residues in (namely 10) to conserve its helical wheel position with respect to the overall membrane structure and residues with which it interacts. This aspartate is known to hydrogen bond to Asn55 on TM1 (GFPIN) and main chain Ala299 in TMH7 (AKTSA), thus organizing the relationship of TM1,2,7 in the vicinity of the Schiff base.
Consequently, cytoplasmic loop 1 must end at the PLN motif of RHO1 and hence all other opsins. The beginning of the cytoplasmic loop can be defined by similar considerations. It emerges from a mega-alignment that every opsin is indel-free in this region. Thus all CL1 must be of the same length (12 amino acids). Some sequence conservation, notably the proline at position 9, is universal. This proline may break the continuation of membrane alpha helix from the cytoplasmic domain into the cytoplasm. Internal basic residues are also found consistently.
The question of Galpha binding here must address how opsins using different signaling partners could still be so similar across orthology classes, yet have a fair amount of variation within.

The second cytoplasmic loop
In squid melanopsin, first six residues of cytoplasmic loop C2 also form an extensional helix in squid melanopsin beginning with the DRY motif and surprisingly terminating three residues before the deeply conserved proline (normally a helix breaker as in adrenergic receptors). This proline alone cannot define the two states through its cis and trans configurations because glycine or leucine can also characterize whole opsin orthology classes at this position. The last 3 residues of basic character HRR of loop C2 also preface a transmembrane helix as RAR do in distantly related turkey adrenergic receptor.
Cytoplasmic loop C2 has conserved length of 16-20 in all opsins with much more rigid constraint within individual opsin classes (eg all vertebrate imaging opsins have length 19. The structure of the C2 loop of over 100 melanopsins can readily be modelled based on its closest match among the determined structures, currently squid melanopsin or bovine rhodopsin, with adenosine and adrenergic receptors serving as 'structural outgroup'.
On the basis of length (19 to rhodopsin, 20 to melanopsin), all the opsins except encephalopsin and RGR (both 16 residues) and TMT (18 residues subsequent to a deletion in amniote stem) have a structural model. This model is further constrained by predictable helical extensions of transmembrane helices into the cytoplasm, leaving only the mid-loop region to be predicted. It's not clear whether observed residue conservation -- both within and across orthology classes -- derives from structural importance or instead to Galpha binding specificity requirements.
The adenosine and adrenergic receptor structures -- however useful they might be for annotation transfer to the other 350 non-oderant human GPCR -- ultimately will not prove helpful in modeling the second cytoplasmic loop of opsins (squid melanopsin does that better already). Note C2 in these three structures is consistently stablized by a mid-loop hydrogen bond to the DRY residues. This constraint is not observed in squid melanopsins or other metazoan opsin classes; indeed it is not feasible because no hydrogen bond-capable residue consistently occurs there (in the comparative genomics sense of conserved residue). Ancestrally, this mid-loop bridge might be a derived feature fairly early in the stem of non-opsin GPCR.

The third cytoplasmic loop in 83 melanopsins
This loop may be an important contributer to the Gq specificity. The structure has been determined for squid melanopsin, denoted MEL_todPac below. It is a typical 'HEK' extended-helix CL3 found in vast majority of protostome melanopsins. However deuterostome melanopsins never have this feature, yet also appear to signal through Gq.
The orphan Drosophila opsin RH7, which has not yet been associated with an anatomical structure, also lacks the HEK feature and is considerably shorter. However, as the lower sequences in the alignment below show, length variability is by no means unprecedented in this melanopsin loop. Indeed, the one cnidarian opsin available also lacks the HEK motif and also the length of those motifs.
The HEK motif is not specific to wavelength or ommatidia position as the full gamut of drosophila opsins RH1-RH6 have the feature. The motif specifically co-occurs with conserved A.K and more distal A..A whereas a more distal E....K motif are almost universal to all melanopsins -- indeed the E is universal to all opsins (except RGR and peropsin) but not other GPCR. Curiously RH7 has phenylalanine in place of K here. Alanine is inert in terms of side chain potential for interactions, so its conservation is a bit puzzling.

The carboxy-terminal tail and VxPx motif
This distinctive region has quite baffling length variation across -- and sometimes within -- opsin classes. The extent of conservation also differs greatly, with no real universally conserved residues past the end of the seventh transmembrane helix. The observed terminal conservation pattern for a given opsin must be indicative of its functional importance, even as that stands today insufficiently explained by arrestin phosphoserine or cysteine palmitylation sites, opsin dimerization or other membrane macro organization, or interaction with Galpha proteins. Some interactions would seem to require commonality across all orthology classes (or larger assemblages such as ciliary opsins) while others do not.
Several studies have implicated the carboxy terminal motif VxPx of ciliary opsins as the intra-cellular targeting motif for proteins that function within cilia (or modified apical cilia such as rod and cone outer segments). The phylogenetic origin or age of this motif function has not been established nor its lineage-specific variations, though cilia themselves are pre-metazoan and the need to direct opsins specifically to outer segments would have been present already prior to lamprey divergence.
The description of the recognition pattern as VxPx is unsatisfactory. First, it is too short and vapid to serve this purpose. The residues valine and proline are all but inert and valine would be hard for the recognition apparatus to distinguish from leucine and isoleucine. Valine and proline would occur by random in this pattern in 4 proteins per thousand; mis-targeting would arise frequently from de novo substitutions in situations where one of V or P was already present.
In opsins, we see from cytoplasmic tail alignments below that RGR, persopsin, neuropsins, melanopsins, PPINb and TMT all lack any sign of a terminal VxPx motif. Here TMT is surprising in its total lack of any distal conservation whereas its nearest relative encephalopsin does have a strongly conserved VxPA motif VxPL, x:RK). RHO1 (VAPA), RHO2 (VSPA), SWS2 (VxPy, x:SAG, y:AS), LWS (VxPA X:AS), PPIN (VxPy x:AS, Y:ASLV), PARIE (VxPy x:AST, y:AVL), PIN VxPy x:MTA, y:AS), and VAOP (VxPy x:CY, y:ILM; motif lost in Aves).
Thus the motif is really quite constrained in second and fourth position to a non-bulky uncharged side chain; VxPx does not accurately describe the observed reduced alphabet at these positions. However the carboxy terminus might have other functionalities in addition to cilial targeting at least in opsins. Conversely it is not so clear that PPIN, PIN, PARIE, VAOP and encephalopsin are specifically targeted to modified pineal, brain, and melanocyte cilia in the same sense that rod and cone opsins are.
Photoreceptor retinol dehydrogenase RDH8, another enzyme of the cis-retinal regeneration cycle located in the outer segments, also terminates in a similar motif VRPR. This is not the case for RDH11, RDH12 or RDH16 nor in arrestin, transducin subunits, cGMP phosphodiesterase subunits, cGMP-gated channel subunits, Na/K/Ca exchanger, RGS9, R9AP, guanylate cyclases 2D and 2F, guanylate cyclase activating protein, phosducin, and recoverin.
RGR
The first hand-gapped alignment below illustrates these issues using RGR from 53 species. The alignment begins inside the last transmembrane segment with the Schiff base lysine K and continues past the NAxxY motif at a deeply invariant length (totallying 19 residues) to the "YR" motif found in almost all GPCR. This marks the beginning of the carboxy terminal cytoplasmic tail, which in RGR is fairly fixed at 23 residues, remain alignable and may extend the transmembrane helix but bear no resemblance to any other opsin or GPCR.
The degree of conservation establishes selection is at work. It appears that RGR must terminate in several charged (characteristically basic) residues irregardless of length indels. These could possibly associate electrostatically with membrane phospholipid or be important to initial establishment of topology. Mammals have in effect lost the YR motif though most have an R one residue later. This does not quite coincide with the advent of ERY or GRY mammals in cytoplasmic loop C2.
Conservation of G.WQ.L..Q has persisted for tens of billions of years and cannot be explained by helix or beta sheet per se -- possibly it is constrained by interaction with parts of the other cytoplasmic face. It appears that arrestin could recognize phospserine or threonine in almost all species but palmityolation cannot be widespread. A few species, such as guinea pig, microbat and armadillo may be exhibiting early stages of pseudogenization or at least partial loss of function.
Absent any experimental information or relevent 3D structure or capacity for annotation transfer from homologous regions, the specifics of individual residue and residue patch conservation will remain difficult to explain.

Peropsin
Peropsin exhibits greater conservation both in its post-K helix and in its cytoplasmic tail than RGR. The FR motif is perfectly conserved throughout vertebrates. Length, ancestrally 32 residues, experienced an era of variability in amniotes but then settled down to a fixed 35 residues in mammals. The differance alignment shows that a central motif EITISN conserved in early vertebrates changed character completely (to TMPVTS) in mammals, though the earlier motif still appears faded in platypus. A cysteine conserved back to invertebrates might be palmitoylated; conserved serines and threonines offer potential phosphorylation sites.
The cytoplasmic tail of peropsin is completely unalignable to RGR. Unlike RGR, tblastn of peropsin tail against whole human genome elicits matches to imaging opsins and a GPCR (neuropeptide Y receptor). While these matches are weak and largely driven by the last transmembrane section alone, 3 early tail residues (*) emerge as possible conserved residues. Whether or not homologically valid, this suggests modeling of the first 9 residues of peropsin tail by known bovine rhodopsin structure.

Neuropsins
Here NEUR1 is a bit unusual in the last transmembrane helix terminating in FA instead of the FR found in the other neuropsin classes. It is not clear how a neutral alanine affects signaling at this key residue. Conceivably the helix is longer and a more distal conserved FR plays this role 19 aminio acids later. The length and sequence of the carboyx terminus is strongly conserved out to the stop codon in available species implying functional significance.
However this region is completely unalignable to other neuropsins past the FR motif. In other neuropsins the carboxy terminus is poorly conserved and alignable past the FR motif only by 6, 10, and 24 residues in NEUR2-4. Some termini are quite extended in seemingly random sequence.

Melanopsins
The cytoplasmic tail in melanopsin can be quite variable in length and sequence. No strongly conserved residues exist in bilateran melanopsins beyond the P.L beginning at position 8; consequently very little can be learned about the cytoplasmic tail of vertebrate or even arthropod melanopsins from study of molluscan melanopsins. Its contribution to structure and function of the cytoplasmic face must be quite variable. Note the FR motif is almost always YR outside of lophotrochozoans.
Within just vertebrates, the cytoplasmic tail of melanopsin exhibits much more extensive conservation of 11 residues extending out to position 66 (human numbering). The two conserved serines might be cyclically phosphorylated and the single cysteine at position 9 palmitoylated (as it cannot be in a disulfide residing in the reduced cytoplasmic mileau). While the remaining residues are very likely stably structured, it's not clear whether they interact primarily with the other cytoplasmic loops or with auxillary proteins. The latter is more likely recalling that melanopsins signal via Gq and the inositol triphosphate cascade rather than the very different cyclic nucleotide pathway.

Encephalopsin
This opsin class, despite its phylogenetically erratic pattern of tetrapod gene loss, is exceedingly conserved in its carboxy terminus in both length and sequence back to cartilaginous fish. An interesting phyloSNP can be seen in the difference alignment in the primate stem (S-->N) two residues after the critical Schiff lysine. This may slightly shift the chemical environment of the chromophore.
The cytoplasmic tail of encephalopsin has no detectable homology to other ciliary opsins for more that 6 residues beyond the FR motif (FRRSLLQL) even though it shares the same very ancient terminal exon break as other ciliary opsins (phase 0, just prior to the FR).

TMT opsin
TMT predominantly exhibits FY for its FR motif though perhaps the conserved FYK/R motif accomplishes the same end. Within the whole TMT family, no observable conservation past the first 9 residues though some 35 residues are alignable within the TMT paralog tracking into tetrapods (up to marsupials). The conserved pair of cysteines might be palmitoylated. Opossum has acquired an upstream stop codon recently as the 22 residues following are still alignable to wallaby. GenBank lacks any transcripts of the main TMT in tetrapods as of Jan 09. This gene is curiously intertwined with the opposing strand gene ST6GAL2, a sialyltransferases in all species.

Imaging ciliary opsins
The cytoplasmic tails of these opsins begin and end with highly conserved motifs but the middle sections have been subject to numerous indels, suggesting that absolute length is unimportant for binding site recognition. The VAPA terminal motif can be recognized in all but the secondary parapinopsin group PPINb (found only in some teleost fish and apparently reflecting differential survival of gene duplication and in avian VAOP where chicken and finch have recent changes in stop codon.
LWS is shown elsewhere greatly expanded to 82 species to illustrate the issues. Four indels, all deletions, have occured during vertebrate history: a 2 residue loss in mammals, a 1 residue loss in birds but not lizards, and a 1 and 5 residue loss in teleost fish. Otherwise, LWS has been remarkably constant -- its key features and almost every residue past FR were already firmly settled prior to lamprey divergence.
This region cannot be important to Galpha binding because it is too highly variable just within cone opsins which all use the same transducin. Cysteines are conserved to depth but palmitoylation could be universal exclusive of VAOP. LWS also lacks the distal cysteine (CCGK motif has been LFGK since lamprey stem) found in other ciliary opsins. Serines and threonines (for arrestin) are common but are not a deeply conserved feature.

Reference collection of 377 cytoplasmic loop C2 sequences from all 20 opsin loci
The second column contains the C2 loop sequences. The third column shows the continuation into transmembrane helix 4. The end of the loop region is determined by countback from the invariant tryptophan at position 160 in squid melanopsin as well as from crystallography and transmembrane prediction tools. Other columns show loop length and values at potentially informative positions 7 and 9 (which are generally characteristic of orthology class).
