Enhanced Mutant Compensates for Defects in Rhodopsin Phosphorylation in the Presence of Endogenous Arrestin-1

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
We determined the effects of different expression levels of arrestin-1-3A mutant with enhanced binding to light-activated rhodopsin that is independent of phosphorylation.

Structural and functional insights into rhodopsin‐like and secretin‐like GPCR–arrestin interactions and regulation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Distinct GPCR phosphorylation barcodes and arrestin conformational states direct arrestin‐mediated signaling and trafficking. The graphical abstract depicts the structural diversity of GPCR–arrestin complexes by overlaying representative core‐engaged and tail‐engaged conformations.

Relevance of rhodopsin studies for GPCR activation

open access: yes, 2014
Rhodopsin, the dim-light photoreceptor present in the rod cells of the retina, is both a retinal-binding protein and a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). Due to this conjunction, it benefits from an arsenal of spectroscopy techniques that can be used for

Adeno-associated virus mediated rhodopsin delivery in preventing secondary cone degeneration in rhodopsin knockout mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Rhodopsin-linked retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common form of autosomal dominant RP, an inherited retinal degeneration, in which rod degeneration is followed by secondary cone loss leading to loss of vision and blindness. The overall objective of

Adaptation to extreme environments: A review of Antarctic fish physiology

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Having evolved in the chronically cold and thermally stable waters of the Southern Ocean (SO) for millions of years, Antarctic fish possess a suite of physiological specializations that enable them to survive at temperatures near the freezing point of seawater. Adaptations include the evolution of antifreeze proteins, modifications of membrane

The effects of spectrum, irradiance, and duration of exposure on light‐induced melatonin suppression in healthy adults

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The left panel reports the measured time course data of melatonin concentration in the blood plasma of 17 BL‐Rs and 15 BL‐NRs at baseline, during a two‐hour stay in the dark, during a one‐hour light exposure to blue light, and again in the dark. The right panel shows the magnitude of melatonin concentration after 60 min of exposure to warm white, cool ...

Light-stable rhodopsin. I. A rhodopsin analog reconstituted with a nonisomerizable 11-cis retinal derivative

open access: yes, 1992
With the aim of preparing a light-stable rhodopsin-like pigment, an analog, II, of 11-cis retinal was synthesized in which isomerization of the C11-C12 cis-double bond is blocked by a cyclohexene ring built around the C10 to C13-methyl.

Prolonged rod photoresponse and enhanced cone sensitivity in the transgenic mouse retina lacking arrestin and guanylate cyclase activating proteins

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Analyses from mutant mouse retinal explants gives invaluable insights of the photosignaling process in rod and cone photoreceptor cells. A, Illustration of retinal photovoltage recordings. A retinal explant (pink) is placed in a transparent device which has electrodes to monitor transretinal voltage (red and blue circles).

Rhodopsin 7-The unusual Rhodopsin in Drosophila

open access: yes, 2020
Rhodopsins are the major photopigments in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Drosophila express six well-characterized Rhodopsins (Rh1-Rh6) with distinct absorption maxima and expression pattern.

Characterization of rhodopsin kinase purified from bovine rod outer segments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Rhodopsin kinase was purified by sequential chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and blue-Sepharose. Kinase activity co-purified with a 62-kDa polypeptide, which bound light-dependently in the absence of ATP to purified vesicle-reconstituted rhodopsin ...
