The roles of unconventional myosins in hearing and deafness.
The proper expression and function of several unconventional myosins are necessary for inner-ear function. Mutations in MYO7A and MYO15 cause deafness in humans, and mice. Whereas mutations in Myo6 cause inner-ear abnormalities in mice, as yet no human deafness has been found to the result of mutations in MYO6. In the mammalian inner ear there are at least nine different unconventional myosin i...
متن کاملPalmitylation of cone opsins
Palmitylation is a widespread modification in G-protein-coupled receptors and often a dynamic process. In rhodopsins, palmitylation is static on C322/C323. Red/green (M/LWS) cone opsins have no cysteines at corresponding positions and no palmitylation. Blue (SWS2) cone opsins have a single corresponding cysteine and mass spectrometric analysis showed partial palmitylation of salamander SWS2 con...
متن کاملOpsins: Evolution in Waiting
Complete vertebrate genome sequencing has revealed a remarkable stability and uniformity in the protein-coding gene set, which at first glance might suggest that gene duplication events are relatively rare. This may be a red herring, or at least a red cichlid, as the Lake Malawi cichlid fishes show rapid and extensive duplication and diversification of their retinal cone photoreceptor opsin genes.
متن کاملOpsins and melanopsins
community, Levine and the Institute teamed up to establish the Ciona genome project, which has included a key collaboration with an established Ciona genomics group led by Nori Satoh in Japan. As Ciona is an experimental organism, the functional genomics side of the project benefitted significantly from expertise Levine gained in his own lab, according to JGI’s Dan Rokhsar. The Institute’s succ...
متن کاملEvolution of opsins and phototransduction.
Opsins are the universal photoreceptor molecules of all visual systems in the animal kingdom. They can change their conformation from a resting state to a signalling state upon light absorption, which activates the G protein, thereby resulting in a signalling cascade that produces physiological responses. This process of capturing a photon and transforming it into a physiological response is kn...
