SUMMARY:MSc Graduate Seminar- Gali Tzlil [No Categories]
DESCRIPTION:Location: Hybrid- in the Faculty Auditorium/ZOOM:  https://tech
 nion.zoom.us/j/92948509720   Gali Tzlil\n Affiliation: \n Host:Prof. Oded 
 Beja   \n Rhodopsin-carotenoid complexes in marine microorganisms\n\nMicro
 bial rhodopsins are retinal-bound\, light-activated membranal proteins fou
 nd in diverse aquatic microbes. In the ocean’s photic zone\, &gt\;50% of
  microbes harbor a rhodopsin gene\, potentially enabling their phototropic
  lifestyle. Recently\, our lab reported on the widespread binding of carot
 ene antennas to microbial rhodopsins\, suggesting a significant impact on 
 rhodopsin-mediated phototrophy.\nThus far\, we have characterized novel an
 tennas-rhodopsin complexes only from a bacterial origin. In this project\,
  we screen for novel antennas-rhodopsin complexes from diverse microbial o
 rigins. Surprisingly\, we found antennas-rhodopsin complexes originating f
 rom marine planktonic Asgard Archaea. Furthermore\, we demonstrate that th
 is rhodopsin can bind diverse hydroxylated carotenoids (e.g.\, lutein\, di
 atoxanthin and fucoxanthin) and transfer energy. Our results indicate that
  the use of light-harvesting antennas in microbial rhodopsins is potential
 ly utilized by open ocean Asgard Archaea to support phototrophic lifestyle
