Melanopsin: an exciting photopigment.
The discovery that mice lacking rods and cones are capable of regulating their circadian rhythms by light provided the conceptual framework for the discovery of an entirely new photoreceptor system within the mammalian eye. We now know that a small subset of retinal ganglion cells are directly photosensitive and utilize an opsin/vitamin A-based photopigment called melanopsin maximally sensitive...

متن کاملAn Exciting Release on TRPM7
Following fusion, synaptic vesicles do not always release all of their neurotransmitter. According to one model, neurotransmitters bind to a charged matrix within secretory vesicles, and release requires entry of counterions. In the current issue of Neuron, Krapivinsky et al. demonstrate that TRPM7 is localized to synaptic vesicles and is required for release of the positively charged neurotran...
