Abstract excerpt
Sensory rhodopsin II, the photophobic receptor from Natronomonas pharaonis (NpSRII)5, forms a 2:2 complex with its cognate transducer (N. pharaonis halobacterial transducer of rhodopsins II (NpHtrII)) in lipid membranes. Light activation of NpSRII leads to a displacement of helix F, which in turn triggers a rotation/screw-like motion of TM2 in NpHtrII. This conformational change is thought to be transmitted...
