Description
Mukohata and co-workers isolated a bacterium from an
Argentine salt flat, which was named Haloterrigena sp.
arg-4. Of interest, from this strain, Ihara et al. discovered
a new retinal protein [11,12], which conserves completely
the amino acid residues essential for light-driven proton
pumping, but the homology with bR is as low as 53%. This
protein was named deltarhodopsin (abbreviated as dR,
GenBank Accession No. AB009620).
Notes
Homology between Bbacteriorhodopsin (bR) expressed in purple membrane
of Halobacterium salinarum is as low as 53%.
