ChrimsonR

This part is the 'E. coli' codon optimized version of ChrimsonR channelrhodopsin.

Usage and Biology

ChrimsonR is a channelrhodopsin derived from the CR Chrimson of 'Chlamydomonas noctigama' that is naturally red-shifted [1]. Compared to the Chrimson, ChrimsonR contains one point mutation K176R that does not modify the absorption properties, but increases the photocurrent generated upon light irradiation. ChrimsonR is a Na+ inward pump that is also capable of transporting H⁺, K⁺ and Ca²⁺. It is one of the few microbial opsins in clinical trials for gene therapy for patients with documented diagnosis of non-syndromic Retinitis Pigmentosa [2].
