A light-induced modification of a 165 kDa polypeptide in crayfish photoreceptors shown by monoclonal antibodies

, 1985
In the compound eye of invertebrate animals phototransduction takes place in a specialized structure built by the visual cells - the photoreceptor. We describe monoclonal antibody binding to a photoreceptor polypeptide of about 165 kDa.

Intraflagellar Transport Genes Are Essential for Differentiation and Survival of Vertebrate Sensory Neurons

, 2004
Cilia play diverse roles in vertebrate and invertebrate sensory neurons. We show that a mutation of the zebrafish oval (ovl) locus affects a component of the ciliary transport (IFT) mechanism, the IFT88 polypeptide.

Drosophila Rhodopsin 7 can partially replace the structural role of Rhodopsin 1, but not its physiological function

, 2017
Rhodopsin 7 (Rh7), a new invertebrate Rhodopsin gene, was discovered in the genome of Drosophila melanogaster in 2000 and thought to encode for a functional Rhodopsin protein.

Subcellular calcium localization and AT0-dependent Ca2+-uptake by smooth endoplasmic reticulum in an invertebrate photoreceptor cell. An ultrastrucutral, cytochemical and X-ray microanalytical study.

European journal of cell biology, 1980
In Hirudo medicinalis an extensive and highly elaborate three dimensional network of smooth endoplasmic reticulum cisternae is found in very close structural relationship to the receptive (microvillar) membrane, as reported for many other invertebrates.

The ascidian homologue of the invertebrate homeobox gene Rx is essential for ocellus development and function

, 2006
The tadpole larvae prosencephalon of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis contains a single large ventricle, along the inner walls of which lie two sensory organs: the otolith (a gravity-sensing organ) and the ocellus (a photo-sensing organ composed of a ...

Melanopsin: an exciting photopigment.

, 2008
The discovery that mice lacking rods and cones are capable of regulating their circadian rhythms by light provided the conceptual framework for the discovery of an entirely new photoreceptor system within the mammalian eye.

Honeybee Blue- and Ultraviolet-Sensitive Opsins: Cloning, Heterologous Expression inDrosophila, and Physiological Characterization

, 1998
The honeybee (Apis mellifera) visual system contains three classes of retinal photoreceptor cells that are maximally sensitive to light at 440 nm (blue), 350 nm (ultraviolet), and 540 nm (green).

Drosophila Dscam Proteins Regulate Postsynaptic Specificity at Multiple-Contact Synapses

, 2010
SummaryIn both vertebrate and invertebrate visual systems, neurons form multiple-contact synapses at which a single presynaptic site releases neurotransmitter upon a discrete combination of different postsynaptic cells.
