Signal transduction: The rhodopsin story continued
Gebhard F. X. Schertler1
Abstract
Determination of the architecture of an invertebrate photoreceptor protein, squid rhodopsin, is a notable event. It illuminates the mechanism of invertebrate vision and a ubiquitous intracellular signalling system.
Many invertebrates have excellent visual systems1. Squid, for example, are formidable hunters that rely on their acute visual abilities to catch their prey.
