Abstract
![]()
Channelrhodopsins
(ChRs) from green flagellate algae function as
light-gated ion channels when expressed heterologously in mammalian
cells. Considerable interest has focused on understanding the molecular
mechanisms of ChRs to bioengineer their properties for specific optogenetic
applications such as elucidating the function of specific neurons
in brain circuits. While most studies have used channelrhodopsin-2
from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (CrChR2), in this work low-temperature Fourier transform infrared-difference
spectroscopy is applied to study the conformational changes occurring
during the primary phototransition of the red-shifted ChR1 from Chlamydomonas augustae (CaChR1). Substitution
with isotope-labeled retinals or the retinal analogue A2, site-directed
mutagenesis, hydrogen–deuterium exchange, and H218O exchange were used to assign bands to the retinal
chromophore, protein, and internal water molecules. The primary phototransition
of CaChR1 at 80 K involves, in contrast to that of CrChR2, almost exclusively an all-trans to 13-cis isomerization of the retinal chromophore,
as in the primary phototransition of bacteriorhodopsin (BR). In addition,
significant differences are found for structural changes of the protein
and internal water(s) compared to those of CrChR2,
including the response of several Asp/Glu residues to retinal isomerization.
A negative amide II band is identified in the retinal ethylenic stretch
region of CaChR1, which reflects along with amide
I bands alterations in protein backbone structure early in the photocycle.
A decrease in the hydrogen bond strength of a weakly hydrogen bonded
internal water is detected in both CaChR1 and CrChR2, but the bands are much broader in CrChR2, indicating a more heterogeneous environment. Mutations involving
residues Glu169 and Asp299 (homologues of the Asp85 and Asp212 Schiff
base counterions, respectively, in BR) lead to the conclusion that
Asp299 is protonated during P1 formation and suggest that these residues
interact through a strong hydrogen bond that facilitates the transfer
of a proton from Glu169.

Abstract
To investigate the chromophore structures of iodopsin and its low-temperature photoproducts, we have assigned their vibrational bands in the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra using iodopsin samples that were reconstituted with a series of (13)C- and deuterium-labeled retinals. The analyses of the vibrational bands in the fingerprint and hydrogen-out-of-plane (HOOP) regions indicated that the structure of the chromophores in the iodopsin system differs near their centers from those in the rhodopsin system. Compared to rhodopsin, the chromophore of the batho intermediate of iodopsin is twisted in the C(12) to C(14) regions but is more planar around C(11) region. The large amount of twisting was reduced by removing the chloride ion from the iodopsin, suggesting that this twisting hinders the relaxation of the torsion near C(11) necessary for the transition to the lumi intermediate and thus results in the thermal reversion of the batho intermediate back to the iodopsin. From the analyses of the C=NH and C=ND stretching bands, we conclude that the displacement of the Schiff base region upon photoisomerization of the chromophore is restricted, as is the case for rhodopsin. These results indicated that iodopsin's chromophore has a unique structure near its center and that this difference is enhanced by the binding of chloride nearby.

Abstract
The hydrogen out-of-plane bending (HOOP) vibrations were studied in the difference Fourier transform infrared spectra of lumirhodopsin and metarhodopsin I by use of a series of specifically deuterated retinal derivatives of bovine rod outer segments. The 947 cm-1 band of lumirhodopsin and the 950 cm-1 band of metarhodopsin I were assigned to the mode composed of both 11-HOOP and 12-HOOP vibrations. This result suggests that the perturbation near C12-H of the retinal in the earlier intermediate, bathorhodopsin (Palings, van den Berg, Lugtenburg and Mathies, Biochemistry, 28 (1989) 1498-1507), is extinguished in lumirhodopsin and metarhodopsin I. Unphotolyzed rhodopsin and metarhodopsin I exhibited the 14-HOOP bands in the 12-D derivatives at 901 and 886 cm-1, respectively. Lumirhodopsin, however, did not show the 14-HOOP in the 12-D derivatives. The result suggests a change in geometrical alignment of the C14-H bond in lumirhodopsin with respect to the N-H bond of the Schiff base.

Abstract
The visible absorption of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) is highly sensitive to pH, the maximum shifting from 568 nm (pH 7) to approximately 600 nm (pH 2) and back to 565 nm (pH 0) as the pH is decreased further with HCl. Blue membrane (lambda max greater than 600 nm) is also formed by deionization of neutral purple membrane suspensions. Low-temperature, magic angle spinning 13C and 15N NMR was used to investigate the transitions to the blue and acid purple states. The 15N NMR studies involved [epsilon-15N]lysine bR, allowing a detailed investigation of effects at the Schiff base nitrogen. The 15N resonance shifts approximately 16 ppm upfield in the neutral purple to blue transition and returns to its original value in the blue to acid purple transition. Thus, the 15N shift correlates directly with the color changes, suggesting an important contribution of the Schiff base counterion to the "opsin shift". The results indicate weaker hydrogen bonding in the blue form than in the two purple forms and permit a determination of the contribution of the weak hydrogen bonding to the opsin shift at a neutral pH of approximately 2000 cm-1. An explanation of the mechanism of the purple to blue to purple transition is given in terms of the complex counterion model. The 13C NMR experiments were performed on samples specifically 13C labeled at the C-5, C-12, C-13, C-14, or C-15 positions in the retinylidene chromophore. The effects of the purple to blue to purple transitions on the isotropic chemical shifts for the various 13C resonances are relatively small. It appears that bR600 consists of at least four different species. The data confirm the presence of 13-cis- and all-trans-retinal in the blue form, as in neutral purple dark-adapted bR. All spectra of the blue and acid purple bR show substantial inhomogeneous broadening which indicates additional irregular distortions of the protein lattice. The amount of distortion correlates with the variation of the pH, and not with the color change.

Abstract
Resonance Raman vibrational spectra of the retinal chromophore in bathorhodopsin have been obtained after regenerating bovine visual pigments with an extensive series of 13C- and deuterium-labeled retinals. A low-temperature spinning cell technique was used to produce high-quality bathorhodopsin spectra exhibiting resolved hydrogen out-of-plane wagging vibrations at 838, 850, 858, 875, and 921 cm-1. The isotopic shifts and a normal coordinate analysis permit the assignment of these lines to the HC7 = C8H Bg, C14H, C12H, C10H, and C11H hydrogen out-of-plane wagging modes, respectively. The coupling constant between the C11H and C12H wags as well as the C12H wag force constant are unusually low compared to those of retinal model compounds. This quantitatively confirms the lack of coupling between the C11H and C12H wags and the low C12H wag vibrational frequency noted earlier by Eyring et al. [(1982) Biochemistry 21, 384]. The force constants for the C10H and C14H wags are also significantly below the values observed in model compounds. We suggest that the perturbed hydrogen out-of-plane wagging and C-C stretching force constants for the C10-C11 = C12-C13 region of the chromophore in bathorhodopsin result from electrostatic interactions with a charged protein residue. This interaction may also contribute to the 33 kcal/mol energy storage in bathorhodopsin.
