Frontiers in Insect ScienceMitochondrial dysfunction is closely associated with the pathogenesis of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), often through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which disrupts visual signal transduction.

Mixed Palettes of Melanopsin Phototransduction [PDF]
Cell, 2018 Animal photoreceptors divide into two fundamental classes, ciliary and rhabdomeric. Jiang and colleagues demonstrate that this boundary is disregarded by the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells of mammals. These neurons draw from phototransduction mechanisms of both classes, enriching the signals that they produce to drive a diversity ...

Widespread Variation in Retinochrome Spectral Absorbance Across Scallop Phylogeny
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 11, June 2026.ABSTRACT Vision is a two‐step process, including phototransduction initiated by a retinal‐bound opsin photopigment, and subsequent photopigment regeneration wherein the inactive state is restored. Because retinal isomerization, or changing of the molecular structural conformation, drives the activation of opsin photopigments, the reverse process is a ...

Towards a unified model of verebrate rod phototransduction
, 2015 Recently, we introduced a phototransduction model that was able to account for the reproducibility of vertebrate rod single-photon responses (SPRs) (Hamer et al., 2003).

Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 Cyclic nucleotide gated (CNG) channels are a critical component of the visual transduction cascade in the vertebrate retina. Mutations in the genes encoding these channels have been associated with a spectrum of inherited retinal disorders.

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 10, 31 May 2026.This study investigates the role of the vision gene RGR using novel dual knockout zebrafish models. The loss of rgra and rgrb results in zebrafish larvae having reduced visual function and altered retinoid profiles under light but not dark conditions. The OKR phenotype is enhanced under higher light intensities.

The Role of Adenylate Cyclase in Hydra Magnipapillata Phototransduction
, 2017 Cnidarians are members of an early branching phylum of animals with unexpectedly complex sensory capable of detecting light, chemical, and mechanical stimuli despite lacking the specialized sensory organs that bilaterian animals commonly possess ...

Phototransduction: Keep an Eye Out for Acid-Labile TRPs
, 2010 SummaryOur mechanistic understanding of phototransduction in the Drosophila eye is still rudimentary. Recent work demonstrates that a combination of phosphoinositide depletion and microvillar acidification is sufficient to activate light-sensitive TRPC ...

Phototransduction: Shedding Light on Translocation [PDF]
Current Biology, 2003 Light induces the migration of arrestin to the photosensitive membrane in both vertebrate and invertebrate photoreceptors. New work has identified a phosphoinositide lipid binding domain in Drosophila arrestin and implicates PIP(3) in control of arrestin translocation.

, 2016 Sensory perception of light is mediated by specialized Photoreceptor neurons (PRs) in the eye. During development all PRs are genetically determined to express a specific Rhodopsin (Rh) gene and genes mediating a functional phototransduction pathway ...
