Microbial Rhodopsins: The Last Two Decades
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2021Microbial rhodopsins are diverse photoreceptive proteins containing a retinal chromophore and are found in all domains of cellular life and are even encoded in genomes of viruses. These rhodopsins make up two families: type 1 rhodopsins and the recently discovered heliorhodopsins. These families have seven transmembrane helices with similar structures

Microbial rhodopsins in the spotlight
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2010The discovery of the light-gated cation channel Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) and the use of the rediscovered light-driven Cl-pump halorhodopsin (HR) as optogenetic tools--genetically encoded switches that enable neurons to be turned on or off with bursts of light--refines the functional study of neurons in larger networks.

A Novel Color Switch of Microbial Rhodopsin
Biochemistry, 2023Function of animal and microbial rhodopsins starts by light absorption of the retinal chromophore. The absorption maximum wavelength (λmax) of rhodopsins is determined by the energy gap between the electronically ground (S0) and first excited (S1) state of the retinal chromophore, and the color tuning mechanism is one of the central topics in rhodopsin

Microbial rhodopsins (MRs) are a large family of photoactive membrane proteins, found in microorganisms belonging to all kingdoms of life, with new members being constantly discovered. Among the MRs are light-driven proton, cation and anion pumps, light-gated cation and anion channels, and various photoreceptors.
