Ordered transmembrane and extracellular structure in squid photoreceptor microvilli
Invertebrate retinas contain hexagonal arrays of microvilli that form the honeycomb structure of rhabdome photoreceptors. The largest and most crystalline rhabdomes are found in the squid retina, and we have taken advantage of their unique properties to derive a model for the electron density distribution in microvillar membranes using low angle X-ray diffraction combined with correlation avera...

متن کاملLight-induced structural changes of cytoskeleton in squid photoreceptor microvilli detected by rapid-freeze method
The cytoskeleton in squid photoreceptor microvilli was studied by freeze-substitution electron microscopy combined with rapid freezing using liquid helium, under dark-adapted and light-illuminated conditions. In the dark-adapted microvilli, actin filaments were regularly associated with granular structures on their surface; these granular structures were cross-linked to the rhodopsin-bearing pl...
متن کاملRhodopsin mobility, structure, and lipid-protein interaction in squid photoreceptor membranes.
Treatment of outer segment membranes from Loligo forbesi with endoprotease-V8 from Staphylococcus aureus results in cleavage of the C-terminal extension of the squid rhodopsin, with accompanying reduction of the apparent molecular weight from 47,000 to 36,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Negative-stain electron microscopy of the intact membranes shows that small...
متن کاملVisual Transduction: Microvilli Orchestrate Photoreceptor Responses to Light
How do the microscopic properties of a photoreceptor shape the transformation of photon inputs into electrical outputs? Adaptive feedback, combined with stochastic sampling of light by transduction units, efficiently captures visual information.
