Abstract
Sensory rhodopsin II (SRII) is a prototype photosensor that binds the retinal Schiff base chromophore. Upon photoabsorption, SRII is transformed into the signaling state, where two long-lived photointermediates are known to contribute. One is the M intermediate containing the deprotonated 13-cis chromophore, and the other is the O intermediate that is believed to have the protonated all-trans chromophore. The chromophore in the O intermediate is also thought to have the atypical 15-syn (C═N cis) configuration about the Schiff base moiety. In this communication, we study SRII from Natronomonas pharaonis (NpSRII) using Raman spectroscopy and find that the retinal chromophore configuration in the O intermediate is the 13-cis, 15-anti (C═N trans), contrary to the conventional notion. This result points out the revision of the chromophore structural changes underlying the long-lived signaling state of SRII.
期刊介绍：
Biochemistry provides an international forum for publishing exceptional, rigorous, high-impact research across all of biological chemistry. This broad scope includes studies on the chemical, physical, mechanistic, and/or structural basis of biological or cell function, and encompasses the fields of chemical biology, synthetic biology, disease biology, cell biology, nucleic acid biology, neuroscience, structural biology, and biophysics. In addition to traditional Research Articles, Biochemistry also publishes Communications, Viewpoints, and Perspectives, as well as From the Bench articles that report new methods of particular interest to the biological chemistry community.
