PLoS ONE, 2012 In non-mammalian vertebrates, the pineal gland functions as the central pacemaker that regulates the circadian rhythms of animal behavior and physiology. We generated a transgenic zebrafish line [Tg(Gnat2:gal4-VP16/UAS:nfsB-mCherry)] in which the E. coli

Observation of cone and rod photoreceptors in normal subjects and patients using a new generation adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope. [PDF]
, 2011 We demonstrate the capability of a new generation adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope (AOSLO) to resolve cones and rods in normal subjects, and confirm our findings by comparing cone and rod spacing with published histology measurements.

Photoreceptor-mediated regulation of the COP1/SPA E3 ubiquitin ligase.
Current opinion in plant biology, 2018 Plants have evolved specific photoreceptors that capture informational cues from sunlight. The phytochrome, cryptochrome, and UVR8 photoreceptors perceive red/far-red, blue/UV-A, and UV-B light, respectively, and control overlapping photomorphogenic ...

Phosphoinositides and Photoreceptors [PDF]
Molecular Neurobiology, 2011 The importance of phosphoinositides (phosphorylated phosphatidyl inositol derivatives, PIs) for normal cellular function cannot be overstated. Although they represent a small fraction of the total phospholipid within the cell, they are essential regulators of many cellular functions.

Plant Flavoprotein Photoreceptors [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2014 Plants depend on the surrounding light environment to direct their growth. Blue light (300-500 nm) in particular acts to promote a wide variety of photomorphogenic responses including seedling establishment, phototropism and circadian clock regulation.

The photoreceptor mosaic [PDF]
Eye, 1998 The organisation of the human photoreceptor mosaic reflects evolutionary strategies for optimising visual information under a wide range of stimulus conditions: (1) The rod population dominates (max. 170,000/mm2 at c. 30 degrees sup.) except for the central 2 degrees and along the ora serrata.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 A chemical synapse is either an action potential (AP) synapse or a graded potential (GP) synapse but not both. This study investigated how signals passed the glutamatergic synapse between the rod photoreceptor and its postsynaptic hyperpolarizing bipolar

Mouse rods signal through gap junctions with cones
eLife, 2014 Rod and cone photoreceptors are coupled by gap junctions (GJs), relatively large channels able to mediate both electrical and molecular communication. Despite their critical location in our visual system and evidence that they are dynamically gated for ...
