Alterations in phototransduction timing, dark adaptation and GNAT1 trafficking in GNAT1-edited Xenopus laevis.

Dominic Skitsko, Beatrice M. Tam, Colette N. Chiu, Paloma Burns, Orson L. Moritz

The paper examines the effects of GNAT1 mutations in Xenopus laevis, showing altered phototransduction timing, dark adaptation, and GNAT1 trafficking in different genetic backgrounds.

Prominin-1 null Xenopus laevis develop subretinal drusenoid-like deposits, cone-rod dystrophy, and dysmorphic retinal pigment epithelium.

Brittany J. Carr, Dominic Skitsko, Linnea M. Kriese, Jun Liang Song, Zixuan Li, Myeong Jin Ju, Orson L. Moritz

This study shows that prom1-null Xenopus laevis develop subretinal drusenoid-like deposits and retinal degeneration, indicating RPE dysfunction precedes photoreceptor loss.
