Photoreceptor disc morphogenesis: The classical evagination model prevails
Vision begins in photoreceptor outer segments with light captured by opsins in continually synthesized disc membranes. The process by which rod photoreceptor discs are formed has been controversial. In this issue, Ding et al. (2015. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201508093) show conclusively that rod discs are formed by plasma membrane evagination.

Formation of membrane discs in photoreceptor cells requires evagination of its ciliary plasma membrane by an unknown molecular mechanism. Salinas et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201608081) show that peripherin (also known as peripherin-2 or peripherin-2/rds) diverts membrane traffic to photoreceptor disc formation by inhibiting ectosome release from the cilium.

Electron microscopic examination of the bases of adult rod and cone outer segments (rhesus monkey, ground squirrel, and grey squirrel) has led to a new model of disc morphogenesis. In this model the disc surfaces and disc rims develop by separate mechanisms and from separate regions of the membrane of the inner face of the cilium. This membrane is alternately specified into regions that will fo...
متن کاملRole of Spectraplakin in Drosophila Photoreceptor Morphogenesis
BACKGROUND Crumbs (Crb), a cell polarity gene, has been shown to provide a positional cue for the apical membrane domain and adherens junction during Drosophila photoreceptor morphogenesis. It has recently been found that stable microtubules in developing Drosophila photoreceptors were linked to Crb localization. Coordinated interactions between microtubule and actin cytoskeletons are involved ...
متن کاملPhotoreceptor morphogenesis and retinal degeneration: lessons from Drosophila.
Cells exhibit an amazingly wide range of different forms, and in most cases the shape of a cell is crucial for performing its specific function(s). But how does a cell obtain its particular shape during development, how can the shape be adapted to different environmental conditions, and what are the consequences if morphogenesis is impaired? An ideal cell type to study these questions is the ph...
