Abstract excerpt
It was found recently that Anabaena sensory rhodopsin (ASR), which possibly serves as a photoreceptor for chromatic adaptation, interacts with a soluble cytoplasmic transducer. The X-ray structure of the transducer-free protein revealed an extensive hydrogen-bonded network of amino acid residues and water molecules in the cytoplasmic half of ASR, in high contrast to its haloarchaeal counterparts. Using...
