The photocycles of Ser-183—Ala and Glu-194—Gin mutants were qualitatively similar to that of wild-type bacteriorhodopsinproduced in Escherichia coli and bacteriorhodopsin from Halobacterium halobium. The substitution of a Phe for either Trp-182 or Trp-189 significantly reduced the fraction of photocycling bacteriorhodopsin. The amino acid substitutions Tyr-185—Phe and Ser-193—Ala substantially increased the lifetime of the photocycle without substantially increasing the lifetime of the M photocycle intermediate. Similar results were also obtained with the Pro-186—Gly substitution. In contrast, replacing Pro-186 with the larger residue Leu inhibited the formation of the M photocycle in-termediate. These results are consistent with a structural model of the retinal-binding pocket suggested by low-temperature UV/visible and Fourier transform infrared difference spectroscopies that has Trp-182, Tyr-185, Pro-186, and Trp-189 forming part of the binding pocket.Bacteriorhodopsin (bR) 1 is a light-driven proton pump in the purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium. Theamino acid sequence contains seven hydrophobic regions labeled AG that correspond to the seven transmembrane helices2 (Hen-derson & Unwin, 1975; Khorana et al., 1979; Ovchinnikov et al., 1979; Huang et al., 1982). The chromophore, all-trans-retinal, is covalently linked to Lys-216 in helix G through a
