Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 IntroductionOpsins are a large and sequence-diverse family of light-responsive G-protein coupled receptors involved in vision, circadian rhythm, and other processes.

Opsin expression predicts male nuptial color in threespine stickleback. [PDF]
, 2018 Theoretical models of sexual selection suggest that male courtship signals can evolve through the build-up of genetic correlations between the male signal and female preference.

Opsins: Evolution in Waiting [PDF]
Current Biology, 2005 Complete vertebrate genome sequencing has revealed a remarkable stability and uniformity in the protein-coding gene set, which at first glance might suggest that gene duplication events are relatively rare. This may be a red herring, or at least a red cichlid, as the Lake Malawi cichlid fishes show rapid and extensive duplication and diversification of

Diversity of Active States in TMT Opsins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Opn3/TMT opsins belong to one of the opsin groups with vertebrate visual and non-visual opsins, and are widely distributed in eyes, brains and other internal organs in various vertebrates and invertebrates.

S-opsin knockout mice with the endogenous M-opsin gene replaced by an L-opsin variant [PDF]
Visual Neuroscience, 2013 AbstractSpecific variants of human long-wavelength (L) and middle-wavelength (M) cone opsin genes have recently been associated with a variety of vision disorders caused by cone malfunction, including red-green color vision deficiency, blue cone monochromacy, myopia, and cone dystrophy. Strikingly, unlike disease-causing mutations in rhodopsin, most of

Opsin Is a Phospholipid Flippase [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 Polar lipids must flip-flop rapidly across biological membranes to sustain cellular life [1, 2], but flipping is energetically costly [3] and its intrinsic rate is low. To overcome this problem, cells have membrane proteins that function as lipid transporters (flippases) to accelerate flipping to a physiologically relevant rate.

A low-cost hyperspectral scanner for natural imaging and the study of animal colour vision above and under water [PDF]
, 2019 Hyperspectral imaging is a widely used technology for industrial and scientific purposes, but the high cost and large size of commercial setups have made them impractical for most basic research.

Ciliary Transport of Opsin [PDF]
, 2009 As part of the renewal of photoreceptor outer segment disk membranes, membrane proteins are transported along the region of the cilium, connecting the inner and outer segments. Genetics studies have indicated the role of motor proteins in this transport.

Vision Research, 2006 Palmitylation is a widespread modification in G-protein-coupled receptors and often a dynamic process. In rhodopsins, palmitylation is static on C322/C323. Red/green (M/LWS) cone opsins have no cysteines at corresponding positions and no palmitylation.
