The visual receptors are G Protein Coupled Receptors
• seven transmembrane regions
• hydrophobic/ hydrophilic domains
• conserved motifs• chromophore stably
attached to receptor
(Schiff’s base Lys296 in TM7)• thermostable

Different opsins recognize different wavelengths
We have 4 different opsins
Rods: Rhodopsin: blue/green sensitive pigmentCones: S opsin: blue sensitive
M opsin: green sensitiveL opsin: red sensitive

The light catcher is 11-cis-retinal
• covalently attached to opsin GPCR
• Vitamin A derivative
• Binds light, changes conformation from 11-cis to all-trans

Phototransduction is a highly regulated cascade
Adapt to respond over 6 log orders of light
1. Long-term adaptation-pupil size
-receptor photobleaching
2. Short-term adaptation -recovery of membrane potential -deactivation of receptors

Phototransduction: Differences between rods and cones
Rods ConesVery sensitive to light 30x less sensitive to light
each rhodopsin activates 30x less G proteins

Properties of phototransduction
• responds to 1 photon of light• responds over a range of 6 log orders of light• responses are extremely reliable
•1000s of discs maximize surface area of light detection• high concentration and thermostability of rhodopsin means high detection, low noise• adaptation increases the operating range
Photoreceptors are highly specialized to detect light!
