Abstract

The photocycle kinetics of halorhodopsin from Natronobacterium pharaonis (pHR(575)) was analyzed at different temperatures and chloride concentrations as well as various halides. Over the whole range of modified parameters the kinetics can be adequately modeled with six apparent rate constants. Assuming a model in which the observed rates are assigned to irreversible transitions of a single relaxation chain, six kinetically distinguishable states (P(1-6)) are discernible that are formed from four chromophore states (spectral archetypes S(j): K(570), L(N)(520), O(600), pHR'(575)). Whereas P(1) coincides with K(570) (S(1)), both P(2) and P(3) have identical spectra resembling L(520) (S(2)), thus representing a true spectral silent transition between them. P(4) constitutes a fast temperature-dependent equilibrium between the chromophore states S(2) and S(3) (L(520) and O(600), respectively). The subsequent equilibrium (P(5)) of the same spectral archetypes is only moderately temperature dependent but shows sensitivity toward the type of anion and the chloride concentration. Therefore, S(2) and S(3) occurring in P(4) as well as in P(5) have to be distinguished and are assigned to L(520)<--> O(1)(600) and O(2)(600)<--> N(520) equilibrium, respectively. It is proposed that P(4) and P(5) represent the anion release and uptake steps. Based on the experimental data affinities of the halide binding sites are estimated.
