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.

Synchronized photoactivation of T4K rhodopsin causes a chromophore-dependent retinal degeneration that is moderated by interaction with phototransduction cascade components.

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

This study investigates how T4K rhodopsin causes light-exacerbated retinal degeneration in Xenopus laevis, showing that photoactivation is toxic and that cell death is mitigated by interactions with phototransduction proteins.
