    Abstract Hydrogen bond formation and deformation are crucial for the structural construction and functional expression of biomolecules. However, direct observation of exchangeable hydrogens, especially for oxygen-bound hydrogens, relevant to hydrogen bonds is challenging for current structural analysis approaches. Using solution-state NMR spectroscopy, this study detected the functionally important exchangeable hydrogens (i.e., Y49-ηOH and Y178-ηOH) involved in the pentagonal hydrogen bond network in the active site of

    Abstract We have developed a methodology for identifying further thermostabilizing mutations for an intrinsically thermostable membrane protein. The methodology comprises the following steps: (1) identifying thermostabilizing single mutations (TSSMs) for residues in the transmembrane region using our physics-based method; (2) identifying TSSMs for residues in the extracellular and intracellular regions, which are in aqueous environment, using an empirical force field FoldX; and (3) combining the TSSMs identified in steps (1) and (2) to construct multiple mutations. The methodology is illustrated for thermophilic rhodopsin whose apparent midpoint temperature of thermal denaturation Tₘ is ∼91.8 °C. The TSSMs previously identified in step (1) were F90K, F90R, and Y91I with ΔTₘ ∼5.6, ∼5.5, and ∼2.9 °C, respectively, and those in step (2) were V79K, T114D, A115P, and A116E with ΔTₘ ∼2.7, ∼4.2, ∼2.6, and ∼2.3 °C, respectively (ΔTₘ denotes the increase in Tₘ). In this study, we construct triple and quadruple mutants, F90K+Y91I+T114D and F90K+Y91I+V79K+T114D. The values of ΔTₘ for these multiple mutants are ∼11.4 and ∼13.5 °C, respectively. Tₘ of the quadruple mutant (∼105.3 °C) establishes a new record in a class of outward proton pumping rhodopsins. It is higher than Tₘ of Rubrobacter xylanophilus rhodopsin (∼100.8 °C) that was the most thermostable in the class before this study.

    Abstract The membrane-embedded protein rhodopsin is widely produced in organisms as a photoreceptor showing a variety of light-dependent biological functions. To investigate its molecular features, rhodopsin is often extracted from cellular membrane lipids by a suitable detergent as "micelles." The extracted protein is purified by column chromatography and then is often reconstituted into "liposomes" by removal of the detergent. The styrene-maleic acid ("SMA") copolymer spontaneously forms nanostructures containing lipids without detergent. In this study, we applied SMA to characterize two microbial rhodopsins, a thermally stable rhodopsin, Rubrobacter xylanophilus rhodopsin (RxR), and an unstable one, Halobacterium salinarum sensory rhodopsin I (HsSRI), and evaluated their physicochemical properties in SMA lipid particles compared with rhodopsins in micelles and in liposomes. Those two rhodopsins were produced in Escherichia coli cells and were successfully extracted from the membrane by the addition of SMA (5 w/v %) without losing their visible color. Analysis by dynamic light scattering revealed that RxR in SMA lipid particles (RxR-SMA) formed a discoidal structure with a diameter of 54 nm, which was 10 times smaller than RxR in phosphatidylcholine liposomes. The small particle size of RxR-SMA allowed us to obtain scattering-less visible spectra with a high signal-to-noise ratio similar to RxR in detergent micelles composed of n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside. High-speed atomic force microscopy revealed that a single particle contained an average of 4.1 trimers of RxR (12.3 monomers). In addition, RxR-SMA showed a fast cyclic photoreaction (k = 13 s
