Autophagy-mediated catabolism of visual transduction proteins prevents retinal degeneration by Jingyu Yao (322837)

“…Targeted deletion of both <i>Gnat1</i> (a gene encoding the α subunit of the heterotrimeric G-protein transducin) and <i>Atg5</i> in the rod photoreceptors resulted in a significantly decreased rate of rod cell degeneration as compared to the <i>atg5</i>^Δ<i>rod</i> mouse retina, and considerable preservation of photoreceptors. …”
