Far-Red Absorbing Rhodopsins, Insights From Heterodimeric Rhodopsin-Cyclases [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 The recently discovered Rhodopsin-cyclases from Chytridiomycota fungi show completely unexpected properties for microbial rhodopsins. These photoreceptors function exclusively as heterodimers, with the two subunits that have very different retinal chromophores.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract Omega‐3 fatty acids (omega‐3s) are polyunsaturated fatty acids linked with numerous health benefits. Omega‐3s exhibit multifaceted activities through various mechanisms. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) alleviates oxidative stress by lowering reactive oxygen species and improving oxidative stress in brain tissues and acts against neurodegenerative ...

The rhodopsin-transducin complex houses two distinct rhodopsin molecules [PDF]
Journal of Structural Biology, 2013 Upon illumination the visual receptor rhodopsin (Rho) transitions to the activated form Rho(∗), which binds the heterotrimeric G protein, transducin (Gt) causing GDP to GTP exchange and Gt dissociation. Using succinylated concanavalin A (sConA) as a probe, we visualized native Rho dimers solubilized in 1mM n-dodecyl-β-d-maltoside (DDM) and Rho monomers

Unique Cl– pump rhodopsin with close similarity to H+ pump rhodopsin
Biophysics and Physicobiology, 2022 Microbial rhodopsin is a ubiquitous membrane protein in unicellular microorganisms. Similar to animal rhodopsin, this protein consists of seven transmembrane helices and the chromophore retinal.
