Cover Image

This image shows photoreceptor neurons in a mouse retina. A subset of rod photoreceptors are labeled with mCherry (red) and are expressing the alpha (magenta) and beta (green) subunits of the rod cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel. In the article by Pearring et al, the authors identify distinct sites encoded within the beta subunit that are used to specifically target the CNG channel to the light-sensitive outer segment compartment and subsequently sequester the CNG channel into the plasma membrane surrounding the membrane discs.
