Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Gos281 mutants show pseudo-pupil defects.

Electroretinogram analysis reveals that the light response is normal in Gos281 mutant photoreceptor cells. Additionally, the Gos281 mutants demonstrate a prolonged depolarising after-potential in response to blue light stimulation. Synaptic transmission between the photoreceptor cells and their second order neurons in the brain also appears normal in the Gos281 mutant.

The Gos281 mutation leads to age-related retinal degeneration. Defects in photoreceptor cell morphology are observed in young Gos281 mutants, compared with wild-type. There is substantial vacuolation of the cells, and, at higher magnification, enlarged ER and Golgi membranes are observed. By one month of age, the vacuolated tissue is significantly more prominent in the Gos281 mutants, and in many cases, entire clusters of photoreceptor cells are missing.
