Description
Proteorhodopsin, a photon dependent proton pump, is a photoactive retinylidene protein. A transmembrane protein homologous to bacteriorhodopsin in Archaea creates a proton gradient across the cell membrane in many marine organisms. It has been demonstrated that photophosphorylation occurs with the help of transmembrane ATP Synthase on expression of Proteorhodopsin gene in Escherichia coli**Martinez A, Bradley AS, Waldbauer JR, Summons RE, DeLong EF (2007). "Proteorhodopsin photosystem gene expression enables photophosphorylation in a heterologous host". PNAS 104 (13): 5590???5595. Bibcode 2007PNAS..104.5590M. doi:10.1073/pnas.0611470104. PMC 1838496. PMID 17372221.
Notes
The gene had E,S and P sites. Thus, we used site directed mutagenesis to optimize the codon and to remove the E,S and P sites so that it can be ligated with the iGEM plasmid backbone.Source
