Suppressor mutation analysis of the sensory rhodopsin I-transducer complex: insights into the color-sensing mechanism.
Journal of bacteriology - 1 Apr 1998

Abstract excerpt
The molecular complex containing the phototaxis receptor sensory rhodopsin I (SRI) and transducer protein HtrI (halobacterial transducer for SRI) mediates color-sensitive phototaxis responses in the archaeon Halobacterium salinarum. One-photon excitation of the complex by orange light elicits attractant responses, while two-photon excitation (orange followed by near-UV light) elicits repellent responses in...
