  Oded\n &nbsp\;\n\nHeliorhodopsins function in Gram-positive bacteria\n\nR
 hodopsins are light sensing proteins that span across all kingdoms of life
 . They absorb light using retinal. As a response to light\, rhodopsins can
  function as ion pumps\, channels\, enzymes\, and photo sensory receptors.
  Heliorhodopsins (HeRs) are a new rhodopsin family discovered in our lab. 
 HeRs are present in all domains of life\, they react to light\, yet their 
 end function is currently unknown. Recently\, a HeR gene was discovered in
  a strain of Lactococcus lactis and in Alkalibacterium pelagium\, another 
 culturable bacterium related to L. lactis. Interestingly\, acquisition of
  HeR genes happened several times within the order Lactobacillales\, such 
 that the heliorhodopsins from A. pelagium and L. lactis appear to have i
 ndependent origins. We confirmed that the Lactococcus HeR (LlHeR) is trans
 cribed in this L. lactis\, and then over-expressed LlHeR and ApHeR in Esc
 herichia coli. Next\, mutant strains of L. lactis were used to perform RNA
 Seq analysis in an attempt to shed light on LlHeR role in L. lactis.\n\n&n
