Evidence that the long-lifetime photointermediate of s-rhodopsin is a receptor for negative phototaxis in Halobacterium halobium.

Abstract:

:The effect of blue background light on behavioral response of Halobacterium halobium to step-like stimulation with green-orange attractant light was examined. The results strongly support the previously proposed hypothesis that a long-lifetime photointermediate of s-rhodopsin is the photoreceptor for repellent light: the step-like increase in green-orange light was convertible from attractant stimulus to repellent one, when the cells were constantly illuminated with blue light. No difference of the threshold intensity of the blue background light was observed between the mutant strain that lacks both bacteriorhodopsin and halorhodopsin and the wild type strain, suggesting that the two light-driven ion pumps are not participant in sensing attractant light.

  • Characterization of the human nm23-H2 promoter region and localization of the microsatellite D17S396.

    abstract::The transcription of human nm23 genes (nm23-H1, nm23-H2) is involved in suppression of tumor metastasis or tumor progression. Therefore the characterization of transcriptional regulatory mechanisms for both nm23 genes is very important. In this study we have isolated and analyzed the 5'-flanking region of the human nm...
