Rhythmicity of photoreceptor outer segment phagocytosis differs between the cone subtypes in the larval zebrafish

| BioRxiv
Abstract Phagocytosis of retinal rod and cone outer segment (OS) tips by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) occurs daily to prevent accumulation of harmful compounds in the photoreceptors. Rhythmic bursts of phagocytosis, seen as increased levels of phagocytosed OS particles in the RPE, are known to appear once or twice a day depending on the animal species. However, differences in the rhythmicity of phagocytosis between distinct photoreceptor types are not well understood.

Fovea-like Photoreceptor Specializations Underlie Single UV Cone Driven Prey-Capture Behavior in Zebrafish

| Cell Press Verified
Highlights • Larval zebrafish prey detection uses specialized single UV cones in the acute zone • High-gain UV cones in this region boost detection of UV-bright contrasts • Cellular and molecular mechanisms of this tuning tally with those of the primate fovea • Further optimization occurs at the level of UV cone glutamate release Summary In the eye, the function of same-type photoreceptors must be regionally adjusted to process a highly asymmetrical natural visual world.
