Protein and signaling networks in vertebrate photoreceptor cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2015 Vertebrate photoreceptor cells are exquisite light detectors operating under very dim and bright illumination. The photoexcitation and adaptation machinery in photoreceptor cells consists of protein complexes that can form highly ordered supramolecular ...

cGMP signaling in vertebrate retinal photoreceptor cells
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2005 The visual transduction pathway in vertebrate photoreceptors transforms a light stimulus entering the photoreceptor outer segments into an electrical response at the synapses of rod and cone photoreceptor cells. This process is mediated by complex biochemical pathways that precisely regulate cGMP levels, thereby controlling the extent, duration, and ...

Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: In the vertebrate retina, cone photoreceptors play crucial roles in photopic vision by transmitting light-evoked signals to ON- and/or OFF-bipolar cells.

The Musashi 1 Controls the Splicing of Photoreceptor-Specific Exons in the Vertebrate Retina. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 Alternative pre-mRNA splicing expands the coding capacity of eukaryotic genomes, potentially enabling a limited number of genes to govern the development of complex anatomical structures.

Monoaminergic modulation of photoreception in ascidian: evidence for a proto-hypothalamo-retinal territory [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2012 Background The retina of craniates/vertebrates has been proposed to derive from a photoreceptor prosencephalic territory in ancestral chordates, but the evolutionary origin of the different cell types making the retina is disputed.

Acta medica Okayama, 1991 A monoclonal antibody (MAb-1E7), generated against bovine retinal homogenate, labeled the outer and inner segment layers of the vertebrate retina. Immuno-electron microscopic observation clearly demonstrated that antigen(s) bound by MAb-1E7 was localized in the cell membrane of the outer segment and the distal portion of the inner segment. Western blot

Photoreceptor cell fate specification in vertebrates [PDF]
Development, 2015 Photoreceptors – the light-sensitive cells in the vertebrate retina – have been extremely well-characterized with regards to their biochemistry, cell biology and physiology. They therefore provide an excellent model for exploring the factors and mechanisms that drive neural progenitors into a differentiated cell fate in the nervous system. As a result,

Mechanism of positioning the cell nucleus in vertebrate photoreceptors [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 Organelles are frequently distributed in a nonrandom manner in a cell's cytoplasm. A particular distribution pattern often facilitates a specific function of a cell, whereas its aberrations can lead to cell death. We show that a mutation in the zebrafish mikre oko ( mok ) locus, which encodes

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023 Photoreceptor development of the vertebrate visual system is controlled by a complex transcription regulatory network. OTX2 is expressed in the mitotic retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) and controls photoreceptor genesis.

Exploring the molecular makeup of support cells in insect camera eyes
BMC Genomics, 2023 Animals typically have either compound eyes, or camera-type eyes, both of which have evolved repeatedly in the animal kingdom. Both eye types include two important kinds of cells: photoreceptor cells, which can be excited by light, and non-neuronal ...
