Conductance Mechanisms of Rapidly Desensitizing Cation Channelrhodopsins from Cryptophyte Algae

ABSTRACT Channelrhodopsins guide algal phototaxis and are widely used as optogenetic probes for control of membrane potential with light. “Bacteriorhodopsin-like” cation channelrhodopsins (BCCRs) from cryptophytes differ in primary structure from other CCRs, lacking usual residues important for thei...
