Electrophysiological light responses and normalized sensitivity of grk1b and grk7a knockout larvae. (A) Representative ERG traces of isolated cone-mass receptor potentials in APB-treated larvae at 5 dpf. Reponses were recorded under dark-adapted conditions to 20-ms flashes of light of increasing intensities equal to 0.1, 1, 10, 25, 50, 125, 250, 500, 1250, 2500, and 5000 cd/m2. The fast initial positive deflection can be attributed to a photovoltaic effect with the recording microelectrode. (B) Peak amplitude responses of 5 dpf larvae fit using the Naka-Rushton function. (C) Mean-normalized peak response amplitudes of 5 dpf larvae fit using the Naka-Rushton function. Error bars represent SEM.
