Role of Protein Methylation in Halobacterium halobium Phototaxis.

Abstract

To investigate the role of methyl-accepting proteins in the phototaxis signaling system of H. halobium membranes. A carboxylmethylated protein in the membrane, MPP-I (methyl-accepting phototaxis protein I) appears to relay the signal from photoactivated sensory rhodopsin I (SR-I, a visual pigment-like photosensor). Our primary objective is to elucidate the relationship between SR-I and MPP-I.
