Two-component cyclase opsins of green algae are ATP-dependent and light-inhibited guanylyl cyclases

Abstract Background The green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Volvox carteri are important models for studying light perception and response, expressing many different photoreceptors. More than 10 opsins were reported in C. reinhardtii, yet only two—the channelrhodopsins—were functionally charac...
