| Abstract | 13C NMR spectra of [1-13C]Val- or -Pro-labeled bacteriorhodopsin (bR) and its single or double mutants, including D85N, were recorded at various pH values to reveal conformation and dynamics changes in the transmembrane α-helices, in relation to proton release and uptake between bR and the M-like state caused by modified charged states at Asp85 and the Schiff base (SB). It was found that the D85N mutant acquired local fluctuation motion with a frequency of 104 Hz in the transmembrane B α-helix, concomitant with deprotonation of SB in the M-like state at pH 10, as manifested from a suppressed 13C NMR signal of the [1-13C]-labeled Val49 residue. Nevertheless, local dynamics at Pro50 neighboring with Val49 turned out to be unchanged, irrespective of the charged state of SB as viewed from the 13C NMR of [1-13C]-labeled Pro50. This means that the transmembrane B α-helix is able to acquire the fluctuation motion with a frequency of 104 Hz beyond the kink at Pro50 in the cytoplasmic side. Concomitantly, fluctuation motion at the C helix with frequency in the order of 104 Hz was found to be prominent, due to deprotonation of SB at pH 10, as viewed from the 13C NMR signal of Pro91. Accordingly, we have proposed here a novel mechanism as to proton uptake and transport based on a dynamic aspect that a transient environmental change from a hydrophobic to hydrophilic nature at Asp96 and SB is responsible for the reduced pK a value which makes proton uptake efficient, as a result of acquisition of the fluctuation motion at the cytoplasmic side of the transmembrane B and C α-helices in the M-like state. Further, it is demonstrated that the presence of a van der Waals contact of Val49 with Lys216 at the SB is essential to trigger this sort of dynamic change, as revealed from the 13C NMR data of the D85N/V49A mutant. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
