Structural basis of ultraviolet sensitivity and gating in an anion-conducting apusomonad rhodopsin

Wataru Shihoya, Masaki Tsujimura, Hiroto Takahashi…·Osamu Nureki

This study determines the cryo-EM structure of SfApuR2, an ultraviolet-sensitive anion-conducting rhodopsin, and identifies structural features that explain its UV sensitivity and gating mechanism.

Apusomonad rhodopsins, a new family of ultraviolet to blue light absorbing rhodopsin channels

Luis Javier Galindo, Shunki Takaramoto, Takashi Nagata…·Keiichi Inoue

The paper identifies a new family of rhodopsin channels in apusomonads that absorb ultraviolet to blue light and function as anion-selective channels involved in photoavoidance.
