| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated mechanisms of the wavelength discrimination between UV and visible light in the pineal organs of lower vertebrates by calcium imaging analysis with mutant zebrafish. We found that the color opponency was generated in a single photoreceptor cell with a single kind of opsin, parapinopsin and a molecular property of parapinopsin contributed to generating color opponency. We also investigated two non-visual opsins, zebrafish Opn3 and jumping spider peropsin and revealed their biochemical and spectroscopic properties.
