AI Article Synopsis
- Mure et al. (2016) explore how different mechanisms affect melanopsin, a nonvisual photoreceptor.
- They identify two key factors: phosphorylation of the C-terminal intracellular region and a broader mechanism involving the entire C terminus.
- These factors have opposing effects on the photoreceptor's response speed and how it senses light.
Article Abstract
In this issue of Neuron, Mure et al. (2016) demonstrate that two mechanisms-phosphorylation of a C-terminal intracellular region, and mechanism involving the whole of the C terminus-oppositely shape the kinetics and sensitivity of the nonvisual photoreceptor melanopsin.
