Autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP) has been linked to mutations in the gene encoding rhodopsin. Most RP-linked rhodopsin mutants are unable to fold correctly in the endoplasmic reticulum, are degraded by the ubiquitin proteasome system, and are highly prone to forming detergent-insoluble high molecular weight aggregates. Here we have reported that coexpression of folding-deficient, but not folding-proficient, ADRP-linked rhodopsin mutants impairs delivery of the wild-type protein to the plasma membrane. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer and co-precipitation studies revealed that mutant and wild-type rhodopsins form a high molecular weight, detergent-insoluble complex in which the two proteins are in close (<70 A) proximity. Co-expression of ARDP-linked rhodopsin folding-deficient mutants resulted in enhanced proteasome-mediated degradation and steady-state ubiquitination of the wild-type protein. These data suggested a dominant negative effect on conformational maturation that may underlie the dominant inheritance of ARDP.
