Chimeric Microbial Rhodopsins Containing the Third Cytoplasmic Loop of Bovine Rhodopsin [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2011 G-protein-coupled receptors transmit stimuli (light, taste, hormone, neurotransmitter, etc.) to the intracellular signaling systems, and rhodopsin (Rh) is the most-studied G-protein-coupled receptor. Rh possesses an 11-cis retinal as the chromophore, and 11-cis to all-trans photoisomerization leads to the protein structural changes in the cytoplasmic ...

Microbial Rhodopsins: Diversity, Mechanisms, and Optogenetic Applications [PDF]
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2017 Microbial rhodopsins are a family of photoactive retinylidene proteins widespread throughout the microbial world. They are notable for their diversity of function, using variations of a shared seven-transmembrane helix design and similar photochemical reactions to carry out distinctly different light-driven energy and sensory transduction processes ...

Mechanism of voltage-sensitive fluorescence in a microbial rhodopsin [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 Microbial rhodopsins were recently introduced as genetically encoded fluorescent indicators of membrane voltage. An understanding of the mechanism underlying this function would aid in the design of improved voltage indicators. We asked, what states can the protein adopt, and which states are fluorescent?

Functional analysis of A 5' untranslated variant in rhodopsin : implications for the retinitis pigmentosa phenotype [PDF]
, 2011 Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a group of heterogeneous retinal degenerative diseases that predominantly affect rod photoreceptor cells. Symptoms include night blindness and gradual peripheral vision loss, which progresses to a complete loss of vision ...

The Unlimited Potential of Microbial Rhodopsins as Optical Tools [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2019 Microbial rhodopsins, a photoactive membrane protein family, serve as fundamental tools for optogenetics, an innovative technology for controlling biological activities with light. Microbial rhodopsins are widely distributed in nature and have a wide variety of biological functions.
