The resonance Raman spectra of octopus rhodopsin, bathorhodopsin, and isorhodopsin at 120 K have been obtained as well as those of pigments regenerated with isotopically labeled retinals near the C14−C15 bond. Deuteration of the Schiff base nitrogen induces relatively large changes in the C−C stretch region between 1100 and 1300 cm-1, including a large frequency shift of the C14−C15 stretch mode located at 1206−1227 cm-1in the three octopus species, as revealed by the Raman spectra of their 14,15-13C2derivatives. Such results are different compared to those of the bovine pigments, in which no significant frequency shift of the C14−C15 stretch mode was observed upon Schiff base N deuteration. In an earlier Raman study of a Schiff base model compound which contained only one single bond adjacent to two double bonds, we have found that the stretch mode of this C−C single bond at 1232 cm-1shifts up by 15 cm-1and its intensity is also greatly reduced upon Schiff base N deuteration when the CN configuration is anti [Deng et al., (1994)J.Phys.Chem.98, 4776−4779]. The same study has also shown that when the CN configuration is syn, the C−C stretch mode should be at about 1150 cm-1. Since the C14−C15 stretch mode frequency is relatively high in the spectra of octopus rhodopsin and bathorhodopsin (>1200 cm-1) and since the normal mode pattern near the Schiff base is similar to the model, we suggest that the CN configuration in these two species is anti. The different responses of the C14−C15 stretch mode to the Schiff base nitrogen deuteration in bovine and octopus pigments are due to the fact that the coupled C14−C15 stretch and the C12−C13 stretch motions in the model compound or in bovine rhodopsin are altered in octopus rhodopsin so that the stretch motion of the C14−C15 bond is more localized, similar to the C−C stretch motion in the small Schiff base model compound. In clear contrast with the bovine rhodopsin Raman spectrum, which is very similar to that for the 11-cis-retinal Schiff base, the drastically different octopus rhodopsin spectrum indicates large protein perturbations on the C11C12−C13 moiety, either by steric or by electrostatic interactions. Further studies are required to determine if such spectral differences indicate a difference of the energy conversion mechanisms in the primary photochemical event of these two pigments.
