Effect of substitution of proline-77 to aspartate on the light-driven proton release of bacteriorhodopsin

Wild-type bacteriorhodopsin (BR) and another retinal protein archaerhodopsin 4 (AR4) are both light-driven proton pumps, but exhibit opposite temporal orders of proton release and uptake upon a flash illumination at neutral pH due to a higher pK(a) of proton release complex (PRC) in AR4. Since the 77th residue in the extracellular side is proline (P) in BR, but aspartic acid (D) in AR4, we have mutated P77 in BR by D in this study. The new point mutation was found to affect the kinetics of proton release and the pH dependence significantly. Upon a flash excitation, three components "fast proton release,"proton uptake" and "slow proton release" were observed at neutral pH in P77D. The pK(a) of PRC in the M intermediate was increased from 5.6 in the wild-type to 7.0, and became closer to that in AR4, which is 8.4. The coupling strength between D85 and PRC were also weakened, as expected. These data indicate that the 77th residue in AR4 greatly account for the difference between the two proton pumps.     

Mechanisms of pulse response and differential response of bacteriorhodopsin and their relations

Bacteriorhodopsin (BR) films are oriented and deposited on indium tin oxide conductive glass by using electrophoretic sedimentation and Langmuir-Blodgett methods to construct sandwich-type photocells, respectively. The pulse response photoelectric signal of the BR photocell under pulsed laser and the differential response photoelectric signal under irradiation of interval light are measured. The origins of these two types of photoelectric responses and their correlations are analyzed. The pulse response signal initiates from the ultrafast charge separation of the retinal and the proton translocation followed by the deprotonation and reprotonation of the Schiff base and its surrounding amino acids. This is a quick response and is the preceding reaction of the differential response. The differential response signal is caused by the charging and discharging of the continuous proton current of the BR light-driven proton pump at light-on and light-off, which is a slow process. The differential response is related to not only the construction of the BR photocell but also the coupling mode of measurement. To observe the differential response signal, the BR photocell must have large enough B3 and B3' components in its pulse response as well as an alternative coupling mode to measure it.     

Water molecules in the schiff base region of bacteriorhodopsin

The Schiff base region of bacteriorhodopsin (BR), a light-driven proton pump, contains a pentagonal cluster, being composed of three water molecules and one oxygen each of Asp85 and Asp212. Asp85 and Asp212 are located at similar distances from the retinal Schiff base, whereas the Schiff base proton is transferred only to Asp85 during the pump function. The present FTIR study experimentally established the stretching vibration of water402 hydrating with Asp85 by use of various BR mutants, whose frequency (2171 cm-1 as the O-D stretch) indicates very strong hydrogen bond.     

Photochromism of Anabaena sensory rhodopsin

Protein-controlled photochemical reactions often mediate biological light-signal and light-energy conversions. Microbial rhodopsins possess all-trans or 13-cis retinal as the chromophore in the dark, and in the light-driven proton pump, bacteriorhodopsin (BR), the stable photoproduct at the end of the functional cycle of the all-trans form is 100% all-trans. In contrast, a microbial rhodopsin discovered in Anabaena PCC7120 is believed to function as a photochromic sensor. For Anabaena sensory rhodopsin (ASR), the photoreaction is expected to be not cyclic, but photochromic. The present low-temperature UV-visible spectroscopy of ASR indeed revealed that the stable photoproduct of the all-trans form in ASR is 100% 13-cis, and that of the 13-cis form is 100% all-trans. The complete photocycle for the proton pump in BR and the complete photochromism for the chromatic sensor of ASR are highly advantageous for their functions. Thus, the microbial rhodopsins have acquired unique photoreactions, in spite of their similar structures, during evolution.     

pH-dependent transitions in xanthorhodopsin

Xanthorhodopsin (XR), the light-driven proton pump of the halophilic eubacterium Salinibacter ruber, exhibits substantial homology to bacteriorhodopsin (BR) of archaea and proteorhodopsin (PR) of marine bacteria, but unlike them contains a light-harvesting carotenoid antenna, salinixanthin, as well as retinal. We report here the pH-dependent properties of XR. The pKa of the retinal Schiff base is as high as in BR, i.e. > or =12.4. Deprotonation of the Schiff base and the ensuing alkaline denaturation cause large changes in the absorption bands of the carotenoid antenna, which lose intensity and become broader, making the spectrum similar to that of salinixanthin not bound to XR. A small redshift of the retinal chromophore band and increase of its extinction, as well as the pH-dependent amplitude of the M intermediate indicate that in detergent-solubilized XR the pKa of the Schiff base counterion and proton acceptor is about 6 (compared to 2.6 in BR, and 7.5 in PR). The protonation of the counterion is accompanied by a small blueshift of the carotenoid absorption bands. The pigment is stable in the dark upon acidification to pH 2. At pH < 2 a transition to a blueshifted species absorbing around 440 nm occurs, accompanied by loss of resolution of the carotenoid absorption bands. At pH < 3 illumination of XR with continuous light causes accumulation of long-lived photoproduct(s) with an absorption maximum around 400 nm. The photocycle of XR was examined between pH 4 and 10 in solubilized samples. The pH dependence of recovery of the initial state slows at both acid and alkaline pH, with pKas of 6.0 and 9.3. The decrease in the rates with pKa 6.0 is apparently caused by protonation of the counterion and proton acceptor, and that at high pH reflects the pKa of the internal proton donor, Glu94, at the times in the photocycle when this group equilibrates with the bulk.     

Subpicosecond protein backbone changes detected during the green-absorbing proteorhodopsin primary photoreaction

Recent studies demonstrate that photoactive proteins can react within several picoseconds to photon absorption by their chromophores. Faster subpicosecond protein responses have been suggested to occur in rhodopsin-like proteins where retinal photoisomerization may impulsively drive structural changes in nearby protein groups. Here, we test this possibility by investigating the earliest protein structural changes occurring in proteorhodopsin (PR) using ultrafast transient infrared (TIR) spectroscopy with approximately 200 fs time resolution combined with nonperturbing isotope labeling. PR is a recently discovered microbial rhodopsin similar to bacteriorhodopsin (BR) found in marine proteobacteria and functions as a proton pump. Vibrational bands in the retinal fingerprint (1175-1215 cm(-1)) and ethylenic stretching (1500-1570 cm(-1)) regions characteristic of all-trans to 13-cis chromophore isomerization and formation of a red-shifted photointermediate appear with a 500-700 fs time constant after photoexcitation. Bands characteristic of partial return to the ground state evolve with a 2.0-3.5 ps time constant. In addition, a negative band appears at 1548 cm(-1) with a time constant of 500-700 fs, which on the basis of total-15N and retinal C15D (retinal with a deuterium on carbon 15) isotope labeling is assigned to an amide II peptide backbone mode that shifts to near 1538 cm(-1) concomitantly with chromophore isomerization. Our results demonstrate that one or more peptide backbone groups in PR respond with a time constant of 500-700 fs, almost coincident with the light-driven retinylidene chromophore isomerization. The protein changes we observe on a subpicosecond time scale may be involved in storage of the absorbed photon energy subsequently utilized for proton transport.
