l-Aspartate,l-glutamate andd-aspartate, alone or in combination, were applied by superfusion or by atomization to the isolated carp retina while recording from cone horizontal cells. Each of these agents when applied alone depolarized horizontal cells and reduced the size of their light responses, an action which mimics the effect of the endogenous photoreceptor transmitter. Application ofd-aspartate in conjunction with either of thel-amino acids potentiated the effects of thel-amino acids so that the threshold concentration was reduced by about five-fold, compared to when thel-amino acids were applied alone. The potentiating effect ofd-aspartate occurred with all types of cone horizontal cells—bothl- and C-types. Furthermore, the potentiating effect ofd-aspartate occurred not only in the dark but also in the presence of bright light backgrounds or Co2+ions, conditions during which the release of photoreceptor transmitter is reduced or blocked.d-Aspartate also potentiated the depolarizing effects of the acidic amino acid cysteine sulfinate.The potentiating effect ofd-aspartate can be attributed to its action as an amino acid uptake blocker in the outer retina. Thus, these findings, in themselves, cannot eliminatel-aspartate,l-glutamate or cysteine sulfinate as candidates for the carp cone transmitter. However, other evidence, previously reported, strongly suggests thatl-glutamate and notl-aspartate is the cone transmitter.
