Role of Thr218 in the light-driven anion pump halorhodopsin from Natronomonas pharaonis.
Halorhodopsin (HR) is an inward-directed light-driven halogen ion pump, and NpHR is a HR from Natronomonas pharaonis. Unphotolyzed NpHR binds halogen ion in the vicinity of the Schiff base, which links retinal to Lys256. This halogen ion is transported during the photocycle. We made various mutants of Thr218, which is located one half-turn up from the Schiff base to the cytoplasm (CP) channel, ...
متن کاملAnion effect on the nanostructure of a metal ion binding self-assembling peptide.
Effects of copper salts containing different anions (SO(4)(2)(-), Cl(-), and NO(3)(-)) on the self-assembly of a designed peptide EAK16(II)GGH with affinity for Cu(2+) have been investigated. The peptide secondary structure, self-assembled nanostructures, and surface activity were observed to depend strongly on the type of anion. Over a salt concentration range from 0.05 to 10.0 mM, SO(4)(2)(-)...
متن کاملProperties and photochemistry of a halorhodopsin from the haloalkalophile, Natronobacterium pharaonis.
Pharaonis halorhodopsin is a light-driven transport system for chloride, similarly to the previously described halorhodopsin, but we find that it transports nitrate as effectively as chloride. We studied the photoreactions of the purified, detergent-solubilized pharaonis pigment with a gated multichannel analyzer. At a physiological salt concentration (4 M NaCl), the absorption spectra and rate...

متن کاملThe influence of the halide ions on the photochemical reaction cycle of pharaonis halorhodopsin.
Sodium salt of chloride, bromide and iodide were used to elucidate the effect of the size of the anion on the binding to pharaonis halorhodopsin and its transport during the photocycle of this retinal protein. Spectroscopic titration revealed an apparent strong binding constant of 2 mM for chloride, 0.23 mM for bromide and 5 mM for iodide. In the case of iodide a second, week binding constant o...
