Deep Diversity: Extensive Variation in the Components of Complex Visual Systems across Animals

open access: yesCells, 2022
Understanding the molecular underpinnings of the evolution of complex (multi-part) systems is a fundamental topic in biology. One unanswered question is to what the extent do similar or different genes and regulatory interactions underlie similar complex

R9AP overexpression alters phototransduction kinetics in iCre75 mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
PURPOSE: Determine the impact of rod photoreceptor-specific expression of Cre recombinase on the kinetics of phototransduction in the mouse eye and identify changes in gene expression that underlie any observed phenotypic differences.

Implications of dimeric activation of PDE6 for rod phototransduction [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2018
We examine the implications of a recent report providing evidence that two transducins must bind to the rod phosphodiesterase to elicit significant hydrolytic activity.

Predictably manipulating photoreceptor light responses to reveal their role in downstream visual responses

open access: yeseLife
Computation in neural circuits relies on the judicious use of nonlinear circuit components. In many cases, multiple nonlinear components work collectively to control circuit outputs. Separating the contributions of these different components is difficult,

The Calculus of Rod Phototransduction [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of General Physiology, 1998
In this issue, two articles present major advances in the quantitative analysis of the molecular mechanisms underlying rod phototransduction. One is by Nikonov et al. (1998), the other by Calvert et al. (1998). These two papers are complimentary, but with substantial areas of intersection.

Bicarbonate and Ca2+ sensing modulators activate photoreceptor ROS-GC1 synergistically

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2016
Photoreceptor ROS-GC1, a prototype subfamily member of the membrane guanylate cyclase family, is a central component of phototransduction. It is a single transmembrane-spanning protein, composed of modular blocks.

Smart Nanotechnologies for Multimodal Neuromodulation and Brain Interfacing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Recent advances in smart nanotechnologies are expanding the toolbox for brain interfacing, from wireless neuromodulation and high‐resolution sensing to targeted delivery within the central nervous system. By combining responsive nanomaterials with bioinspired design, these platforms enable multimodal interactions with neurons and glia, while also ...

New issues in phototransduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Light and dark cycles are one of the principal driving forces for the metabolism of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms, which are the evolutionary closest one to the first living beings.

Protein and signaling networks in vertebrate photoreceptor cells

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...
