Heliorhodopsin evolution is driven by photosensory promiscuity in monoderms

P.-A. Bulzu, V. S. Kavagutti, M.-C. Chiriac, C. Vavourakis, K. Inoue, H. Kandori, A.-S. Andrei, R. Ghai

This study identifies heliorhodopsins (HeRs) as a novel type-3 rhodopsin family restricted to monoderms, likely functioning as light-dependent switches for stress mitigation and metabolic regulation.
