An inducible expression system to measure rhodopsin transport in transgenic Xenopus rod outer segments.

An inducible expression system to measure rhodopsin transport in transgenic Xenopus rod outer segments.

We developed an inducible transgene expression system in Xenopus rod photoreceptors. Using a transgene containing mCherry fused to the carboxyl terminus of rhodopsin (Rho-mCherry), we characterized the displacement of rhodopsin (Rho) from the base to the tip of rod outer segment (OS) membranes. Quan...
