Crag is a GEF for Rab11 required for rhodopsin trafficking and maintenance of adult photoreceptor cells.

Crag is a GEF for Rab11 required for rhodopsin trafficking and maintenance of adult photoreceptor cells.

Rhodopsins (Rhs) are light sensors, and Rh1 is the major Rh in the Drosophila photoreceptor rhabdomere membrane. Upon photoactivation, a fraction of Rh1 is internalized and degraded, but it remains unclear how the rhabdomeric Rh1 pool is replenished and what molecular players are involved. Here, we...
