Vision begins in photoreceptor outer segments with light captured by opsins in continually synthesized disc membranes. The process by which rod photoreceptor discs are formed has been controversial. In this issue, Ding et al. (2015. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201508093) show conclusively that rod discs are formed by plasma membrane evagination.
视觉始于光感受器的外段,光被不断合成的盘状膜中的视蛋白捕获。视杆光感受器盘的形成过程一直存在争议。在本期杂志中,丁等人(2015年。《细胞生物学杂志》。http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201508093)确凿地表明,视杆盘是由质膜内陷形成的。
