Lesson: Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways

9.5K
At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category,...

The Retinoblastoma Gene01:20

The Retinoblastoma Gene

4.8K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Genetics
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Congenital achromatopsia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder.
  • It is characterized by severe loss of cone photoreceptor function.
  • Rods are typically considered to have normal or near-normal function.

Observation:

  • Electroretinography (ERG) was performed on two siblings with CNGB3-associated achromatopsia.
  • Standard full-field light- and dark-adapted ERGs were recorded.
  • Rod-mediated ERGs were assessed using a range of stimulus intensities.

Findings:

  • Dark-adapted ERGs showed significantly reduced b-wave amplitudes and abnormal b:a ratios.
  • A less pronounced reduction in a-wave amplitude was observed.
  • Rod-mediated ERGs displayed an electronegative waveform at high stimulus intensities.

Implications:

  • The findings suggest a more severe disruption of rod function in achromatopsia than previously reported.
  • Differential effects on b-wave versus a-wave indicate an inner-retinal locus for rod dysfunction.
  • This challenges the traditional understanding of achromatopsia as solely a cone disorder.
