The Rhodopsin-Arrestin-1 Interaction in Bicelles
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are essential mediators of information transfer in eukaryotic cells. Interactions between GPCRs and their binding partners modulate the signaling process. For example, the interaction between GPCR and cognate G protein

Abstract Food‐related stimuli can promote feeding behaviors independent of metabolic need. Cue‐potentiated feeding (CPF) studies in rodents offer the potential to reveal the psychobiological mechanisms underlying learned overeating behaviors. We examined whether lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) cells expressing the feeding signal Melanin Concentrating ...

Immature Drosophila rhodopsin is N-glycosylated, but undergoes complete deglycosylation during the process of protein maturation. In order to elucidate the site of glycosylation and its role in rhodopsin synthesis, we investigated the in vitro and in ...

Widespread Variation in Retinochrome Spectral Absorbance Across Scallop Phylogeny
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 ...

ABSTRACT The existence of prokaryotes escaping filtration through 0.2‐μm filters has been known for decades. Such ‘filterable’ prokaryotes (hereafter ‘FP’) might include true ultra‐small groups (i.e., ultramicrobacteria), but also cells that miniaturize temporally as a physiological strategy to persist under unfavourable conditions, representing a ...

Beyond red/far‐red sensing: phytochrome perception of the marine light field by microalgae
Summary Phytochromes (PHYs) are a major group of photoreceptors, described as red and far‐red light sensors in land plants. Recent genomic and metagenomic explorations have revealed the presence of PHYs also in various eukaryotic microalgae originating from distinct endosymbiotic events.

PBN and certain PBNDs inhibited rhodopsin regeneration.
Rats were treated with either PBN or certain PBNDs before 2h of light adaptation followed by 2.5h of dark adaptation after which the animals were euthanized and retinas harvested for rhodopsin assay.
