By monitoring the receptor dynamics in vitro and physiological responses of the cell in vivo, we observe receptor signaling efficiency increases with decreasing cycling frequency (turnover number) of the receptor. The results demonstrate that modulating lifetimes of protein conformations at the SR-II photoactivation site with chromophore analogues alters the lifetime of the active conformation at the signaling site. We further explore the relationship between photocycle intermediates and the signaling efficiency by analyzing the time-averaged concentrations of the two long-lived spectral intermediates of the SR-II photocycle: S-II350 and S-II530. The results are consistent with the signaling site being activated duringformation of S-II350, but not reset by the transition of S-II350 into S-II530; rather deactivation appears to require subsequent decay of S-II530. The results indicate the structural changes at the photoactivation site in the S-II350-*· S-II530 transition do not reset the signaling site. The procedure used here, applicable in principle to any photoactivated or ligand-activated receptor, provides an initial approach to identify structural alterations key to the receptor activation process.
