Rоd phоtоreceptor cells аre responsible for vision in dim light. The figure shows the pаthwаy through which a rod photoreceptor cell senses light. Predict whether the following mutations will result in a) night blindness (poor or no eyesight in dim light), or b) prolonged response to a short light flash. Hint: Blocking the activation pathway will result in night blindness; whereas, blocking the inactivation pathway will result in prolonged response to a short light flash. The G-protein is mutated and cannot be inactivated by the regulator of G-protein. [1] The cGMP-gated cation channels remain closed even in the presence of cGMP. [2] The cGMP phosphodiesterase is mutated and permanently inactive. [3] The arrestin protein is mutated and permanently inactive. [4] The regulator of G-protein signaling protein is mutated and permanently inactive. [5]
