title: Primary structure of the novel bacterial rhodopsin from extremely halophilic archaeon Haloarcula japonica strain TR-1.
abstract: A novel bacterial rhodopsin was identified in Haloarcula japonica strain TR-1. The gene encoding the bacterial rhodopsin was cloned and sequenced. The structural gene consisted of an open reading frame of 750 nucleotides encoding 250 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of the Ha. japonica bacterial rhodopsin showed the highest homology to those of cruxrhodopsins.
