Revised Manuscript Received June 22, 1993* abstract: Steric constraints in the retinal binding pocket of sensory rhodopsin I (SR-I) are analyzed by studying effects of sample temperature and retinal analogs. The flash-induceid yield of the earliest detected intermediate S6io, which corresponds to the K intermediate in the bacteriorhodopsin (BR) photocycle, decreases below 220 K and reaches zero at 100 K, while K formation is independent of temperature. The reduced S6io formation at low temperatures indicates a more restricted retinal binding pocket in SR-I during primary photochemical events. Introduction of bulky substituents on the retinal polyene chain in four retinal analogs greatly retards or blocks the final step of chromophore binding to the apoprotein of SR-I. Except for the 14-methyl substitution, these modificationsexhibit little or no effect on chromophore binding to BR apoprotein. These results corroborate that the retinal polyene chain binding domain in SR-I is more sterically constrained than that of the retinal pocket in BR. Deletion of the 0-ionone ring renders the analog SR-I pigments nonfunctional, as does deletion of the 13-methyl group, but the corresponding BR analogs are both photochemically and physiologically active. In contrast to the corresponding BR analog, photolysis of the analog SR-I reconstituted with 13-desmethylretinal does not produce an S6io-like intermediate at room temperature. The above results and the previous findings that protein constraints inhibit the accommodation of a stable 13-m-retinal configuration in SR-I suggest a model in which the 13-methyl group functions as a fulcrum to permit movement of one or both ends of retinal to overcome an energy barrier against isomerization.Sensory rhodopsin I (SR-I) is a phototaxis receptor protein in Halobacterium salinarium (also known as H. halobium) membranes (Spudich & Bogomolni, 1988). Light activation of its two photochromic forms, SR-I587 and S373 (Spudich & Bogomolni, 1984), enables cells tomigrate into environments favorable for photoactivation of the electrogenic ion pumps bacteriorhodopsin (BR; Oesterhelt et al., 1992; Krebs & Khorana, 1993) and halorhodopsin (HR; Lanyi, 1990) and escape from damaging UV irradiation. From the protein sequence of SR-Iand its predicted secondary structure (Blanck et al., 1989), a large (82%) homology in the SR-I retinal binding pocket with that of BR is expected (Henderson et al., 1990). Shifts of absorption maxima of a large number of analog SR-I and BR pigments have been compared and generally agree with overall homologous retinal binding structural domains in these two proteins (Yan et al., 1991). The question remains what structural features are responsible for their diverse functions and different photocycle kinetics.
