Journal ArticleDOI
A light-driven sodium ion pump in marine bacteria
Keiichi Inoue,Hikaru Ono,Rei Abe-Yoshizumi,Susumu Yoshizawa,Hiroyasu Ito,Kazuhiro Kogure,Hideki Kandori +6 more
TL;DR: It is discovered that the marine flavobacterium Krokinobacter eikastus possesses two rhodopsins, the first, KR1, being a prototypical proton pump, while the second, KR2, pumps sodium ions outward.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural basis for Na + transport mechanism by a light-driven Na + pump
Hideaki E. Kato,Keiichi Inoue,Rei Abe-Yoshizumi,Yoshitaka Kato,Hikaru Ono,Masae Konno,Shoko Hososhima,Toru Ishizuka,Mohammad Razuanul Hoque,Hirofumi Kunitomo,Jumpei Ito,Susumu Yoshizawa,Keitaro Yamashita,Mizuki Takemoto,Tomohiro Nishizawa,Reiya Taniguchi,Kazuhiro Kogure,Andrés D. Maturana,Yuichi Iino,Hiromu Yawo,Ryuichiro Ishitani,Hideki Kandori,Osamu Nureki +22 more
TL;DR: Crystal structures of KR2 under neutral and acidic conditions are presented, which represent the resting and M-like intermediate states, respectively, and reveal the molecular basis for light-driven non-proton cation pumps and provide a framework that may advance the development of next-generation optogenetics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oligomeric states of microbial rhodopsins determined by high-speed atomic force microscopy and circular dichroic spectroscopy.
Mikihiro Shibata,Keiichi Inoue,Kento Ikeda,Masae Konno,Manish Singh,Chihiro Kataoka,Rei Abe-Yoshizumi,Hideki Kandori,Takayuki Uchihashi +8 more
TL;DR: High-speed atomic force microscopy is used to directly observe the oligomeric states in the lipid membrane of various microbial rhodopsins found within eubacteria to archaea, demonstrating that the stoichiometry of the fundamental oligomer of microbial r Rhodopsins strongly correlate with the phylogenetic tree.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal structure of heliorhodopsin.

TL;DR: The 2.4-Å-resolution structure of HeR from an uncultured Thermoplasmatales archaeon SG8-52-1 shows that it adopts a similar fold to that of type I rhodopsin—despite the low sequence identity—but there are also several marked differences that provide insights into heliorhodopin function.
Journal ArticleDOI
FTIR spectroscopy of a light-driven compatible sodium ion-proton pumping rhodopsin at 77 K.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied light-induced difference Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to a compatible sodium ion-proton pump, at 77 K, and found that the structure and structural changes in the primary processes of KR2 are common to all microbial rhodopsins.
