Engineering of soluble bacteriorhodopsin

Open access

Preprint — published as 10.1039/d5sc02453f · Paper page

Abstract

Bacteriorhodopsin is a seven-helical light-driven proton pump and a model membrane protein. Here, we report engineering of soluble analogues of bacteriorhodopsin, NeuroBRs, which bind retinal and photocycle under illumination. We also report the crystallographic structure of NeuroBR_A, determined at anisotropic resolution reaching 1.76 Å, that reveals a conserved chromophore binding pocket and tertiary structure. Our results highlight the power of modern protein engineering approaches and pave the way towards wider development of molecular tools derived from membrane proteins.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
