Under conditions in which large guanosine cyclic 3',5'-phosphate (cGMP)- and phosphodiesterase (PDE)-dependent changes in near-infrared transmission and vesicle aggregation and disaggregation occur, we have observed a striking change in the binding of PDE to rod disk membranes. The change in PDE binding is nucleotide and light dependent as are the light-scattering changes. The cGMP- and PDE-dependent light-scattering signal can be produced by a 500-nm light flash which bleaches 1/(1 X 10(7] rhodopsin molecules. Mg ions are an essential cofactor for the nucleotide-dependent PDE binding and light-scattering changes. 3-Isobutyl-1-methylxanthine and other competitive inhibitors of PDE hydrolytic activity support increased PDE binding to the disk membrane, vesicle aggregation, and the light-scattering signal. However, treatments which block GTP-dependent activation of PDE hydrolytic activity (colchicine, GDP, or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) also block these phenomena. Thus, GTP-dependent activation of PDE rather than its hydrolytic activity appears to be correlated with the light-scattering signal.
