Deprotonation of lipid-depleted bacteriorhodopsin.
The removal of 75% of the lipid from bacteriorhodopsin caused the following: (i) decreased efficiency and rate of deprotonation of the protonated Schiff base (as monitored by absorption of the M412 intermediate); (ii) increased efficiency of deprotonation of deionized samples; (iii) a decrease by 1 unit in the pH at which deprotonation ceases; (iv) increased intensity of Eu3+ emission in Eu3+-r...
متن کاملDeprotonation of D96 in bacteriorhodopsin opens the proton uptake pathway.
Despite extensive investigation, the precise mechanism controlling the opening of the cytoplasmic proton uptake pathway in bacteriorhodopsin (bR) has remained a mystery. From an analysis of the X-ray structure of the D96G/F171C/F219L triple mutant of bR and 60 independent molecular dynamics simulations of bR photointermediates, we report that the deprotonation of D96, a key residue in proton tr...
متن کاملElectric-field-induced Schiff-base deprotonation in D85N mutant bacteriorhodopsin.
The application of an external electric field to dry films of Asp-85-->Asn mutant bacteriorhodopsin causes deprotonation of the Schiff base, resulting in a shift of the optical absorption maximum from 600 nm to 400 nm. This is in marked contrast to the case of wild-type bacteriorhodopsin films, in which electric fields produce a red-shifted product whose optical properties are similar to those ...
متن کاملRotational diffusion of bacteriorhodopsin in lipid membranes.
New techniques for measuring the diffusion of proteins in cell membranes have recently been reported [l-7] . Such measurements should in principle test to what extent proteins are freely floating in the fluid lipid bilayer, as envisaged in currently popular concepts of membrane structure [8]. They may also provide a method of investigating structural features of membranes which restrict or prev...
متن کاملMobility of bacteriorhodopsin in lipid vesicles.
BR* has been the subject of a wide variety of biophysical studies. Particular attractions are its ease of preparation in pure form, the availability of much structural information and its intrinsic chromophore, which facilitates a range of spectroscopic investigations (for review, see Stoeckenius et al., 1979). We have used BR to investigate various aspects of protein diffusion in membranes. In...
