A Bistable UV-Sensitive Opsin from a Reef Building Coral Showing a Switchable and Tunable Regulation of Gs-Signaling by Different Wavelengths of Light

Abstract Cnidarians possess a large number of opsins in their genomes for their various photoreceptive functions. In particular, they uniquely possess Gs-coupled opsins that induce intracellular cAMP accumulation in a light-dependent manner. These Gs-coupled opsins, cnidopsins, a...
