HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Oliver Vöcking from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the paper: The rhodopsin-retinochrome system for retinal re-isomerization predates the origin of cephalopod eyes, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: The authors investigate the expression of the rhodopsin-retinochrome system and functional components of the vertebrate visual cycle in a polyplacophoran mollusk Leptochiton asellus and examine the phylogenetic distribution of the individual components in other protostome animals. The data corroborate that vertebrate RGRs and protostome retinochromes may both be involved in visual cycling and the authors propose an independent loss of the capability to evoke . . .
