Signaling states of rhodopsin. Formation of the storage form, metarhodopsin III, from active metarhodopsin II.
Vertebrate rhodopsin consists of the apoprotein opsin and the chromophore 11-cis-retinal covalently linked via a protonated Schiff base. Upon photoisomerization of the chromophore to all-trans-retinal, the retinylidene linkage hydrolyzes, and all-trans-retinal dissociates from opsin. The pigment is eventually restored by recombining with enzymatically produced 11-cis-retinal. All-trans-retinal ...
متن کاملSignaling states of rhodopsin: absorption of light in active metarhodopsin II generates an all-trans-retinal bound inactive state.
Absorption of light in rhodopsin leads through 11-cis- and all-trans-retinal isomerization, proton transfers, and structural changes to the active G-protein binding meta-II state. When meta-II is photolysed by blue light absorption, the activating pathway is apparently reverted, and rhodopsin is photoregenerated. However, the product formed, a P subspecies with A(max) = 500 nm (P(500)), is diff...
متن کاملSchiff Base Switch II Precedes the Retinal Thermal Isomerization in the Photocycle of Bacteriorhodopsin
In bacteriorhodopsin, the order of molecular events that control the cytoplasmic or extracellular accessibility of the Schiff bases (SB) are not well understood. We use molecular dynamics simulations to study a process involved in the second accessibility switch of SB that occurs after its reprotonation in the N intermediate of the photocycle. We find that once protonated, the SB C15 = NZ bond ...
متن کاملSynthesis and Crystal Structures of Three New Hetero-binuclear Hg(II)-Cu(II) Schiff Base Complexes
New hetero-binuclear Hg-Cu Schiff base complexes were prepared by reaction of 2,2'-[1,1'-(2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diyldinitrilo)-diethyldyne]diphenolato}copper(II) (CuL1) and 6,6'-X-2,2'-[(2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl)bis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato copper(II) [(X = ethoxy (CuL2) and methoxy (CuL3)], with HgCl2 to give [Cu(L1)HgCl2] (1), [Cu(L2)HgCl2] (2), and [Cu(L3)HgCl2] (3), res...
متن کاملTetranuclear Copper (II) schiff base complexes as new precursor for synthesis of CuO nanoparticles by solid-state thermal decomposition
In this paper, we used tetranuclear copper (II) Schiff base complexes, [Cu4 (μ-sal2hn) (μ-N3)2(N3)2] (1) and [Cu4 (μ-salophen) (μ1, 1-N3)2(N3)2] (2), as new precursor in solid-state thermal decomposition for the synthesis of CuO ...
