Rhodopsin expression level affects rod outer segment morphology and photoresponse kinetics. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The retinal rod outer segment is a sensory cilium that is specialized for the conversion of light into an electrical signal. Within the cilium, up to several thousand membranous disks contain as many as a billion copies of rhodopsin for efficient photon ...

Highly sensitive visual restoration and protection via ectopic expression of chimeric rhodopsin in mice

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: Photoreception requires amplification by mammalian rhodopsin through G protein activation, which requires a visual cycle. To achieve this in retinal gene therapy, we incorporated human rhodopsin cytoplasmic loops into Gloeobacter rhodopsin ...

Isoelectric Focusing to Quantify Rhodopsin Phosphorylation in Mouse Retina

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2019
Rhodopsin is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) that mediates vision under dim light. Upon light exposure, rhodopsin is phosphorylated at multiple serine and threonine sites at its carboxyl-terminus by rhodopsin kinase (GRK1). This, in turn, reduces its

A combinatorial cis-regulatory logic restricts color-sensing Rhodopsins to specific photoreceptor subsets in Drosophila.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2021
Color vision in Drosophila melanogaster is based on the expression of five different color-sensing Rhodopsin proteins in distinct subtypes of photoreceptor neurons.

Abrupt onset of mutations in a developmentally regulated gene during terminal differentiation of post-mitotic photoreceptor neurons in mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
For sensitive detection of rare gene repair events in terminally differentiated photoreceptors, we generated a knockin mouse model by replacing one mouse rhodopsin allele with a form of the human rhodopsin gene that causes a severe, early-onset form of ...

Early stages of retinal development depend on Sec13 function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
ER-to-Golgi transport of proteins destined for the extracellular space or intracellular compartments depends on the COPII vesicle coat and is constitutive in all translationally active cells.

Negative regulation of the novel norpA(P24) suppressor, diehard4, in the endo-lysosomal trafficking underlies photoreceptor cell degeneration. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2013
Rhodopsin has been used as a prototype system to investigate G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) internalization and endocytic sorting mechanisms. Failure of rhodopsin recycling upon light activation results in various degenerative retinal diseases ...

Binding of rhodopsin and rhodopsin analogues to transducin, rhodopsin kinase and arrestin-1

open access: yesWorld Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014
Laparoscopic surgery is the main treatment method for patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumors. Although laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive, its tool stimulation and pneumoperitoneum pressure often cause strong stress reactions in patients. On the other hand, gastrointestinal surgery can cause stronger pain in patients, compared to other

Rescue of photoreceptor degeneration by curcumin in transgenic rats with P23H rhodopsin mutation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
The P23H mutation in the rhodopsin gene causes rhodopsin misfolding, altered trafficking and formation of insoluble aggregates leading to photoreceptor degeneration and autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
