A Schiff base connectivity switch in sensory rhodopsin signaling.
Sensory rhodopsin I (SRI) in Halobacterium salinarum acts as a receptor for single-quantum attractant and two-quantum repellent phototaxis, transmitting light stimuli via its bound transducer HtrI. Signal-inverting mutations in the SRI-HtrI complex reverse the single-quantum response from attractant to repellent. Fast intramolecular charge movements reported here reveal that the unphotolyzed SR...
متن کاملEvidence that helix 8 of rhodopsin acts as a membrane-dependent conformational switch.
The crystal structure of rhodopsin revealed a cytoplasmic helical segment (H8) extending from transmembrane (TM) helix seven to a pair of vicinal palmitoylated cysteine residues. We studied the structure of model peptides corresponding to H8 under a variety of conditions using steady-state fluorescence, fluorescence anisotropy, and circular dichroism spectroscopy. We find that H8 acts as a memb...
متن کاملSpectral tuning in sensory rhodopsin I from Salinibacter ruber.
Organisms utilize light as energy sources and as signals. Rhodopsins, which have seven transmembrane α-helices with retinal covalently linked to a conserved Lys residue, are found in various organisms as distant in evolution as bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. One of the most notable properties of rhodopsin molecules is the large variation in their absorption spectrum. Sensory rhodopsin I (SRI) ...
متن کاملTransient Conformational Changes of Sensory Rhodopsin II Investigated by Vibrational Stark Effect Probes.
Sensory rhodopsin II (SRII) is the primary light sensor in the photophobic reaction of the halobacterium Natronomonas pharaonis. Photoactivation of SRII results in a movement of helices F and G of this seven-helical transmembrane protein. This conformational change is conveyed to the transducer protein (HtrII). Global changes in the protein backbone have been monitored by IR difference spectros...
