Light-dependent transducin activation by an ultraviolet-absorbing rhodopsin mutant.

Biochemistry - 7 Sept 1993

Fahmy K, Sakmar T P

Abstract excerpt

The photoactivation pathway of an ultraviolet-absorbing rhodopsin mutant was studied. The mutant pigment, in which the retinylidene Schiff base counterion, Glu113, was replaced by glutamine (E113Q), was known to exist in a pH-dependent equilibrium between spectral forms absorbing at about 380 and 490 nm. The 380-nm form contains an unprotonated Schiff base chromophore linkage, whereas the 490-nm form contains a...
