New research shows that a seventh
rhodopsin, Rh7, is
expressed in the brain of fruit flies where it regulates the fly's day - night activity cycles.
When this clone was inserted into a mammalian expression vector and transfected into COS - 7 cells, a protein that specifically phosphorylated the agonist - occupied form of the beta 2 - adrenergic receptor and phosphorylated, much more weakly, the light - bleached form of
rhodopsin was
expressed.
Essential role of the carboxyl - terminus for proper
rhodopsin trafficking and enlightenment to the pathway (s) causing retinal degeneration in a mouse model
expressing a truncated
rhodopsin mutant: ProQuest.
Donor cells (hNPCctx or hNPCctx - GDNF) that migrated within the neurosensory retina did not
express the retinal markers recoverin (Figure 6A), PKCα (Figure 6B),
rhodopsin, parvalbumin or calbindin (latter markers not shown).
Control of the electrical activity was achieved by employing transgenic mouse hearts
expressing Channel
Rhodopsin - 2 (ChR2).
At 8 days these cells had a clear appearance (Fig. 8A), and
rhodopsin - positive material was found within the CD68 -
expressing cells (Fig. 8B).
