Drosophila phototransduction has served as a model system for elucidating the molecular basis of sensory signal processing. In the fruitfly’s photoreceptors, light is captured by rhodopsin and ...

Okazaki, Japan – Decades of studies on Drosophila vision have revealed multiple components required for the signaling events upon light stimulation. Light first turns on the photosensitive rhodopsin ...

Brassinosteroids (BRs) bind to the extracellular domain of the receptor kinase BRI1 to activate a signal transduction cascade that regulates nuclear gene expression and plant development. Many ...
