Halophilic archaea, such as Halobacterium salinarum and Natronobacterium pharaonis show phototaxis by responding to changes in light color and intensity using receptors called sensory rhodopsin I and II (SRI and SRII). The SR proteins are seven-transmembrane retinylidene photoreceptors, which transmits blue light signal (λmax 487 nm) to their corresponding transducers HtrI and HtrII respectively. signals to Htr proteins via helix-helix interaction. Htr proteins consist of two transmembrane helices and cytoplasmic methyl-accepting and His-Kinase domains, and belongs to histidine kinase / phosphoreregulator two-component system for regulating cells’ flagellar motors for phototaxis.

Sensory rhodopsin

Background
Halophilic archaea, such as Halobacterium salinarum and Natronobacterium pharaonis show phototaxis by responding to changes in light color and intensity using receptors called sensory rhodopsin I and II (SRI and SRII). The SR proteins are seven-transmembrane retinylidene photoreceptors, which transmits blue light signal (λmax 487 nm) to their corresponding transducers HtrI and HtrII respectively. signals to Htr proteins via helix-helix interaction. Htr proteins consist of two transmembrane helices and cytoplasmic methyl-accepting and His-Kinase domains, and belongs to histidine kinase / phosphoreregulator two-component system for regulating cells’ flagellar motors for phototaxis.
