This study shows that ROM1 can be replaced by increased PRPH2 levels to restore normal photoreceptor disc structure in knockout mice.

This study shows incisures in photoreceptor discs form after complete enclosure and are regulated by the ratio of peripherin-2 to rhodopsin.

This study uses quantitative mass spectrometry to determine the absolute protein abundances in mouse rod outer segments, resolving discrepancies and showing high precision in molar ratios.

The paper identifies the WAVE complex as the nucleation promoting factor for actin polymerization during photoreceptor outer segment disc morphogenesis and shows its necessity for proper outer segment formation.

The paper investigates the dimerization behavior of F220C rhodopsin mutant and wild-type opsin in vitro and in the plasma membrane, finding that the mutant forms a unique dimer with distinct conformational features.

This study identifies specific regions in the CNG channel's β1-subunit that mediate outer segment targeting and disc rim connection, revealing functional specializations in its structure.
