Calcium channel-dependent molecular maturation of photoreceptor synapses.

Although Otx2 is expressed in photoreceptor and bipolar cells of the adult mouse retina, its role in the NR, especially in photoreceptors, remains unclear. Previous studies have

The presence of significant amounts of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals in families of superior plants demonstrates that the formation of calcium oxalate crystals is an

Regardless of the observed differences in the rhabdomeric Rh1 staining patterns, our ability to detect persistent Rh1-positive vesicles in the photoreceptor cell body leads us

Here, we show that recombinant metacaspase 2 (MCA2) from Trypanosoma brucei has argi- nine/lysine-specific, Ca 2+ -dependent proteolytic

Upon continuous exposure to white light for 6 d, norpA P24 mutants exhibit reduced numbers of rhabdomeres compared to control flies (Figure 7B, left and middle left panels and

These results complement and are consistent with our earlier studies of dorsal mantle tissue in thin cryosection, where rhodopsin and retinochrome antibodies also labeled

Our results showed that (1) various retinal neurons expressed ANO1; (2) this protein was exclusively localized in the presynaptic region; (3) rod bipolar cells expressing ANO1

Endoplasmic reticulum stress- induced mRNA splicing permits synthesis of transcription factor Hac1p/Ern4p that activates the unfolded protein response. Two regulatory
