Identification of a vacuolar proton channel that triggers the bioluminescent flash in dinoflagellates.

Identification of a vacuolar proton channel that triggers the bioluminescent flash in dinoflagellates.

In 1972, J. Woodland Hastings and colleagues predicted the existence of a proton selective channel (HV1) that opens in response to depolarizing voltage across the vacuole membrane of bioluminescent dinoflagellates and conducts protons into specialized luminescence compartments (scintillons), thereby...
