Origin and evolution of retinoid isomerization machinery in vertebrate visual cycle: hint from jawless vertebrates

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Vertebrates and collaborators from the Editor: Stephan CF. Neuhauss, University Zürich, Switzerland have published the Article: Origin and Evolution of Retinoid Isomerization Machinery in Vertebrate Visual Cycle: Hint from Jawless Vertebrates, in the Journal: PLOS ONE | www.plosone.org of November/27,/2012
• what: The authors show that Ciona ß-carotene monooxygenase a (BCMOa) (previously annotated as an RPE65) has carotenoid oxygenase cleavage activity but not RPE65 activity.
• how: For the lamprey proteins the authors used a more relaxed definition of orthology the authors analyzed the three best BLASTP hits of human . . .
