This review consolidates structural, functional, and mechanistic insights into microbial and animal rhodopsins, highlighting their diverse roles and molecular underpinnings.

AI-generated from the title and abstract; the full text is not read.

Key points

  • Microbial and animal rhodopsins share a common seven-transmembrane helix fold.
  • Rhodopsins function as light-driven ion pumps or photoreceptors.
  • Detailed structural data reveals conserved and divergent features.
  • Mechanistic studies elucidate the photoactivation and signal transduction pathways.
