The cellular fate of mutant rhodopsin: quality control, degradation and aggresome formation

open access: yes, 2002
Mutations in the photopigment rhodopsin are the major cause of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa. The majority of mutations in rhodopsin lead to misfolding of the protein.

Human Rhodopsin: A Fresh View [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This work examines the microsecond and millisecond photochemistry of human rhodopsin. There have been significant advances in the mechanistic and structural understanding of bovine rhodopsin over the last two decades that have not been applied to human ...

Biogenesis of TNF‐α‐insights into proteostasis and inflammation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
TNF‐α biogenesis, trafficking, and signalling are tightly and reciprocally coupled to cellular proteostasis systems, including ER chaperones and endoplasmic reticulum‐associated degradation. This bidirectional crosstalk determines whether TNF‐α responses are adaptive or proteotoxic.

Functional analysis of A 5' untranslated variant in rhodopsin : implications for the retinitis pigmentosa phenotype

open access: yes, 2011
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a group of heterogeneous retinal degenerative diseases that predominantly affect rod photoreceptor cells. Symptoms include night blindness and gradual peripheral vision loss, which progresses to a complete loss of vision ...

High-resolution atomic force microscopy imaging of rhodopsin in rod outer segment disk membranes.

open access: yes, 2015
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful imaging technique that allows recording topographical information of membrane proteins under near-physiological conditions.

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 ...

Fluorescence Enhancement of a Microbial Rhodopsin via Electronic Reprogramming

open access: yes, 2018
The manuscript reports on two mutations of the photo-sensory protein Anabaena Sensory Rhodopsin and how these mutations modify the fluorescence quantum yield with respect to the wild-type protein.

Last Tile Added to a Mosaic: Phylogenetic Placement of Enigmatic Freshwater Fish Leucalburnus satunini (Cypriniformes: Leuciscidae) Uncovered

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subfamily Leuciscinae, the largest freshwater fish group of the western Palearctic region, has been widely studied, including the phylogenetic relationships between its species and genera. However, until now, one genus completely escaped attention in this regard. Even though several works hypothesised about its evolutionary relationships based

Synthetic phosphopeptide from rhodopsin sequence induces retinal arrestin binding to photoactivated unphosphorylated rhodopsin

open access: yes, 1995
A synthetic heptaphosphopeptide comprising the fully phosphorylated carboxyl terminal phosphorylation region of bovine rhodopsin, residues 330–348, was found to induce a conformational change in bovine arrestin.

Time Resolved Diffraction Studies of Structural Changes in Sensory Rhodopsin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Responding to different light conditions is an essential process for many organisms on earth. Unicellular organisms are no exception to this and mechanisms for controlling cellular movement must often be sensitive to light.
