Krokinobacter rhodopsin 2 (KR2), a light-driven Na+ pump, is a dual-functional protein, pumping protons in the absence of Na+ when K+ or larger alkali metal ions are present. A specific mutation in helix A near the extracellular Na+ binding site, H30A, eliminates its proton pumping ability. We induced structural changes in H30A by altering the alkali metal ion bound at the extracellular binding site, and observed a strong electrostatic interaction between the Schiff base and counterion and torsion around the Schiff base as revealed by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies. The strong interaction when His30 was absent and no ion bound at the extracellular binding site disabled retinal reisomerization, as was shown with flash-photolysis, forming a small amount of only a K-like intermediate. This revealed why H30A lacks the proton pumping function. Long-distance perturbation of the binding site and Schiff base revealed that a non-transported ion binding at the extracellular site is essential for pumping.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
