<h4>Objective</h4>The eukaryotic plasma membrane localized light-gated proton-pumping rhodopsins possesses great optogenetic applications for repolarization (silencing) of the neuronal activity simply by light illumination. Very few plasma membrane localized proton-pumping rhodopsins of a eukaryotic origin are known that have optogenetic potential. Our objective was to identify and characterize microbial rhodopsin of an eukaryotic origin that expresses on plasma membrane. The plasma membrane loc ...[more]
