Revised Manuscript Received November 17, 1992 abstract: Ground-state absorbance measurements show that BR from Halobacterium halobium containing asparagine at residue 85 (D85N) exists as three distinct chromophoric states in equilibrium. In the pH range 6-12 theabsorbance spectra of the three states are demonstrated to be similar to flash-induced spectral intermediates which comprise the latter portion of the wild-type BR photocycle. One of the states absorbs maximally at 405 nm, has a deprotonated Schiff base, and contains predominantly the 13-cis form of retinal, identifying it as a close homologue of the M intermediate in the BR photocycle. The other species possess absorbance maxima with correspondence to those of the wild-type N (570 nm) and O (615 nm) photointermediates. The retinal composition of the O-like form was found to be dominated by all-trans isomer. The pH dependence of the concentrations of the equilibrium species correspondsclosely with the pH dependence of the, N, and O photointermediates. These data support kinetic models which emphasize the role of back-reactions during the photocycle of bacteriorhodopsin. Energetic and spectral characterization of the D85N ground-state equilibrium supports its use as a model for elucidating molecular transitions comprising the latter portion of the BR photocycle.Bacteriorhodopsin (BR) 1 is the most abundant retinal binding protein found in the salt-loving Archaebacterium Halobacterium halobium. This member of the seven transmembrane spanning family functions as a light-driven proton pump (Oesterhelt & Stoeckenius, 1973) to generate a membrane potential which supports energy-requiring cellular processes (Danon & Stoeckenius, 1974). The photocycle is initiated by light absorption which stimulates BR into an excited state that thermally decays through a series of optically distinct intermediates. The conversions between intermediates are coupled to proton-transfer reactions (Stoeckenius & Bogomolni, 1982; Lanyi, 1992; Oesterhelt et al., 1992; Rothschild, 1992). The number and structures of functionally relevant molecular states which occur during the BR pho-tocycle and the chemical and physical factors which regulate the transitions between these states need to be elucidated to understand the molecular mechanism of light-mediated proton translocation in BR. Understanding of this mechanism has been advanced by kinetic modeling of optical transitions between photocycle intermediates observed for wild-type BR and variant BR proteins containing single amino acid sub-stitutions (Varo & Lanyi, 1990a; Thorgeirsson et al., 1991; Lozier et al., 1992).
