Abstract excerpt
The Natronobacterium pharaonis HtrII (NpHtrII) transducer interacts with its cognate photoactive sensory rhodopsin receptor, NpSRII, to mediate phototaxis responses. NpHtrII is predicted to have two transmembrane helices and a large cytoplasmic domain and to form a homodimer. Single cysteines were substituted into an engineered cysteine-less NpHtrII at 38 positions in its transmembrane domain. Oxidative disulfide...
