Abstract
A transmembrane proton gradient is generated and maintained by proton pumps in a cell. Metagenomics studies have recently identified a new category of rhodopsin intermediates between type-1 rhodopsins and heliorhodopsins, named schizorhodopsins (SzRs). SzRs are light-driven inward proton pumps. Comprehensive resonance Raman measurements were conducted to characterize the structure of the retinal chromophore in the unphotolyzed state of four SzRs. The spectra of all four SzRs show that the retinal chromophore is in the all-trans and 15-anti configuration and that the Schiff base is protonated. The polyene chain is planar in the center of the retinal chromophore and is twisted in the vicinity of the protonated Schiff base. The protonated Schiff base in the SzRs forms a stronger hydrogen bond than that in outward proton-pumping rhodopsins. We determined that the hydrogen-bonding partner of the protonated Schiff base is not a water molecule but an amino acid residue, presumably an Asp residue in helix G. The present observations provide valuable insights into the inward proton-pumping mechanism of SzRs.
