[The functional similarity of vertebrate rhodopsin and of a photosensitive pigment from the unicellular flagellate alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii].
Photoreceptor membranes in the bovine retina may be substituted in reconstructed systems by pigment fractions from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii which account for GTP-dependent activation of cGMP-phosphodiesterase. Fractions from carotinoid-less mutant did not exhibit this capacity. The results obtained reveal significant structural and functional similarity between rhodopsin-like pigment of Ch. reinhardtii and rhodopsin from vertebrates.
