Mechanism of Activation of the Visual Receptor Rhodopsin
Rhodopsin is the photoreceptor in human rod cells responsible for dim-light vision. The visual receptors are part of the large superfamily of G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) that mediate signal transduction in response to diverse diffusible ligands. The high level of sequence conservation within the transmembrane helices of the visual receptors and the …

generation. Inspired by chlorophyll-based photoautotrophy,17 we hypothesized that a closed redox loop can be constructed by integrating rhodopsin with an electron donor. If the electron donor can be supplied by an electrode powered by a solar panel, a rhodopsin-based photo-electrosynthetic system could drive the autotrophic …

A key goal of synthetic biology is to engineer organisms that can use solar energy to convert CO2 to biomass, chemicals, and fuels. We engineered a light-dependent electron transfer chain by integrating rhodopsin and an electron donor to form a closed redox loop, which drives rhodopsin-dependent CO2 fixation. A light-driven proton pump comprising …

Ion-pumping microbial rhodopsin protein classification by machine ...
Background Rhodopsin is a seven-transmembrane protein covalently linked with retinal chromophore that absorbs photons for energy conversion and intracellular signaling in eukaryotes, bacteria, and archaea. Haloarchaeal rhodopsins are Type-I microbial rhodopsin that elicits various light-driven functions like proton pumping, …
Understanding the Rhodopsin Worldview Through Atomic Force …
The structural organization of rhodopsin in the disc membrane and how it affects rhodopsin function have been debated for a long time. 51 The historical view supports that rhodopsin exists and functions as a monomer, 52-54 even though recent research findings, directly or indirectly, point more toward an oligomeric supramolecular …
Molecular Properties of Rhodopsin and Rod Function
Generation of Rhodopsin-mutant Mouse. Mutant mice with E122Q rhodopsin were generated as previously reported (17, 18) iefly, the mouse rhodopsin genomic clones were modified by replacing Glu 122 (GAA) with Gln (GAG) in the second exon and introducing the positive selection marker (PGKneopA) into the first intron in the …
Agrivoltaics: solar power generation and food production
As the number of published papers significantly increased from 2016 onwards, protocol-driven, keyword-based literature reviews have been conducted for instance by Toledo and Scognamiglio [14] who also included PV greenhouse-related research, for a total count of 215 papers published before the end of 2020. From the end …

History and Perspectives of Ion-Transporting Rhodopsins
BR from H. salinarum, the first-discovered microbial rhodopsin in 1971 (Oesterhelt and Stoeckenius 1971), is the first membrane protein whose structure was found to be composed of seven helices by electron microscopy (Henderson and Unwin 1975), and was also the first membrane protein to have its amino acid sequence determined …
Bacterial Rhodopsin: Evidence for a New Type of Phototrophy in …
Cloning of proteorhodopsin. Sequence analysis of a 130-kb genomic fragment that encoded the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) operon from an uncultivated member of the marine γ-Proteobacteria(that is, the "SAR86" group) (8, 9) (Fig. 1A) also revealed an open reading frame (ORF) encoding a putative rhodopsin (referred to here as …

A rhodopsin-based photoautotrophic system is able to fix CO 2. Light can be used to activate rhodopsin and generate electricity. Light-activated rhodopsin pumps …
Microbial rhodopsins are major contributors to the solar energy ...
All known phototrophic metabolisms on Earth rely on one of three categories of energy-converting pigments: chlorophyll-a (rarely -d), bacteriochlorophyll-a (rarely -b), and retinal, which is the chromophore in rhodopsins.While the significance of chlorophylls in solar energy capture has been studied for decades, the contribution of retinal-based …
Microbial Rhodopsins
Rhodopsins are extremely widespread convertors of solar energy. They have probably been around for a very long evolutionary time [].This protein family has evolved for so long and in so many branches of the microbial phylogenetic tree that sequence similarity between some of the family members has been all but completely lost (Fig. 1).Only the size and the …
