Rhodopsins are the most universal biological light-energy transducers and abundant phototrophic mechanisms that evolved on Earth and have a remarkable diversity and potential for biotechnological applications. Recently, the first sodium-pumping rhodopsin KR2 from <i>Krokinobacter eikastus</i> was discovered and characterized. However, the existing structures of KR2 are contradictory, and the mechanism of Na<sup>+</sup> pumping is not yet understood. Here, we present a structure of the cationic ( ...[more]
