Deep Mutational Scanning of the GPCR Rhodopsin Reveals Pleiotropic Mutational Effects and Their Roles in Modulating Light Sensitivity
A systematic study of pleiotropic effects within the receptor responsible for dim-light vision in vertebrates is presented, revealing how light sensitivity can be mediated through differential conformational states of its chromophore and revealing a role for biophysical pleiotropy in shaping the sensory capabilities of...
