Revised Manuscript Received December 18, 1992 abstract: Near-infrared FT-Raman spectroscopy can be used to measure the vibrations of the bacteriorhodopsin (bR) chromophore without the disadvantage of conventional visible resonance Raman spectroscopy, where the visibleexcitation drives the bR photoreactions. We utilized this technique to investigate the light-dark adaptation of bacteriorhodopsin and the mutant Tyr-185-^ Phe (Y185F) at room temperature in solution. Compared to wild-type bR, both the FT-Raman and resonance Raman spectra of the light-adaptedY185F displayed new features characteristic of the vibrations of the O intermediate. Light adaptation of Y185F was found to involve a 13-cis, C= N syn—’• all-trans isomerization of the retinal chromophore which produces a species similar to bRsvo and a second O-like species. Dark adaptation, which was much slower in Y185F compared to wild-type bR, involved a parallel decay of the bRsvo and O-like species and resulted in a decreased all-trans: 13-cis ratio compared to wild type. Further evidence for the existence of an O-like species in Y185F comes from pump-probe Raman difference spectroscopy, where a red pump beam is found to produce a species very similar to the N intermediate in the photocycle. This species is shownby stroboscopic Raman measurements to exist transiently even at high pH. We postulate that when the Y185F chromophore has an all-trans structure the effective pKa of Asp-85 and Asp-212 is elevated inY185F due to the disruption of the Asp-212/Tyr-185 hydrogen bond, thereby accounting for the increased protonation of these residues in the O-like species.Bacteriorhodopsin (bR) 1 is an integral membrane protein found in the purple membrane of the extremely halophilic Halobacterium halobium (Oesterhelt & Stoeckenius, 1971; Stoeckenius & Bogomolni, 1982). Upon absorption of a photon, bR undergoes a photocycle involving a series of intermediates: Ké30, L550, M412, N550, and C> 640, each with its characteristic absorption maximum. In this process, a net proton is transported across purple membrane from the inside to the outside of the cell. Although the kinetics and visible absorption of each of these intermediates havebeen well characterized, their exact role in the proton transport mech-anism is not yet completely understood. One approach to elucidating the mechanism of proton pumping in bR is the application of vibrational spectroscopy. Resonance Raman spectroscopy (RRS) provides a means to study the structure of various retinylidene chromophores including those of bR and itsphotointermediates by selectively enhancing their vibrations [for reviews, see, eg, Callender and Honig (1977), Warshel (1977), and Mathies et al.(1991) and references citedtherein].
