Pharaonis halorhodopsin (phR), the light-driven chloride ion pump from Natronobacterium pharaonis with C-terminal histidine tag, was expressed in Escherichia coli cells. The protein was solubilized with 0.1% n-dodecyl beta-D-maltopyranoside and purified with a nickel column. Removal of Cl- from the medium yields blue phR (phR(blue)) that has lost Cl- near the chromophore. Addition of Cl- converts phR(blue) to a red-shifted Cl--bound form (phR(Cl)). Circular dichroic spectra of phR(blue) and phR(Cl) exhibited a bilobe in the visual region, indicating specific oligomerization of the phR monomers. The order of anion concentration which induced a shift from phR(blue) to phR(X) was Br- < Cl- < NO3- < N3-, which was the same as in the case of phR purified from N. pharaonis membranes. Chloride binding kinetics was measured by time-resolved absorption changes with stopped-flow rapid mixing. Rates of Cl- binding consisted of fast and slow components, and the amplitude of the fast component was about 90% of the total changes. The rate constant of the fast component at 100 mM NaCl at 25 degrees C was 260 s(-1) with an apparent activation energy of 35 kJ/mol. These values are in good agreement with the process of Cl- uptake in the photocycle (O --> hR' reaction) reported previously [Váró et al. (1995) Biochemistry 34, 14500-14507]. In addition, the Cl- concentration dependence on both rates was similar to each other. These observations suggest that the O-intermediate is similar to phR(blue) and that Cl- uptake during the photocycle may be ruled by a passive process.
