Abstract excerpt
Halorhodopsin from NpHR is a light-driven Cl(-) pump that forms a trimeric NpHR-bacterioruberin complex in the native membrane. In the case of NpHR expressed in Escherichia coli cell, NpHR forms a robust homotrimer in a detergent DDM solution. To identify the important residue for the homotrimer formation, we carried out mutation experiments on the aromatic amino acids expected to be located at the molecular...
