The Retina-Based Visual Cycle

Abstract

The continuous function of vertebrate photoreceptors requires regeneration of their visual pigment following its destruction upon activation by light (photobleaching). For rods, the chromophore required for the regeneration of rhodopsin is derived from the adjacent retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) cells through a series of reactions collectively known as the RPE visual cycle. Mounting biochemical and functional evidence demonstrates that, for cones, pigment regeneration is supported by the parallel supply with chromophore by two pathways—the canonical RPE visual cycle and a second, cone-specific retina visual cycle that involves the Müller glial cells in the neural retina. In this article, we review historical information that led to the discovery of the retina visual cycle and discuss what is currently known about the reactions and molecular components of this pathway and its functional role in supporting cone-mediated vision.
