Super-resolution microscopy reveals a Rab6a-dependent trafficking hub for rhodopsin at the mammalian rod photoreceptor Golgi

Maryam Hekmatara, Samantha L. Thompson, Kristen N. Haggerty…·Michael A. Robichaux

This study uses super-resolution microscopy to show that Rab6a regulates rhodopsin trafficking from the trans-Golgi in mammalian rod photoreceptors, with implications for retinal health.

P23H rhodopsin aggregation in the ER causes synaptic protein imbalance in rod photoreceptors

Samantha L. Thompson, Sophie M. Crowder, Maryam Hekmatara…·Michael A. Robichaux

This study investigates how mislocalized P23H rhodopsin affects synaptic protein levels in rod photoreceptors using mouse models and proteomics.
