Microbial rhodopsins are photoreceptive transmembrane proteins that transport ions or regulate other intracellular biological processes. Recent genomic and metagenomic analyses found many microbial rhodopsins with unique sequences distinct from known ones. Functional characterization of these new types of microbial rhodopsins is expected to expand our understanding of their physiological roles. Here, we found microbial rhodopsins having a DSE motif in the third transmembrane helix from members o ...[more]
