https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2011/6/62/PSB1AC3.jpg PR, a abbreviation of proteorhodopsin,is a kind of membrane protein which was discovered in 2000 through shortgun sequencing of seawater off the coast of California. PR is a light-activated proton pump and generates a pmf which is short for proton motive force. K603000 Designed by Danyang Wang (Team: UST-Beijing). The part is constructed as below: We replace the PR's precusor sequence with human cytochrome oxidase subunit 4 isoform 1, mitochondrial precursor. Meanwhile, all the codons are redesigned according to codon usage bias for Homo sspiens.
