Resonance Raman study on intact pea phytochrome and its model compounds: evidence for proton migration during the phototransformation

Abstract: Resonance Raman (RR) scattering from intact pea phytochrome was observed in resonance with the blue band at ambient temperature. The relative populations of the red-light-absorbing form (Pr) and far-red-light-absorbing form (Pfr) under laser illumination were estimated from the absorption spectra. The most prominent RR band of Pr obtained by 364-nm excitation under 740-nm pumping exhibited a frequency shift between H2O and D2O solutions, but that of Pfr obtained by 407-nm excitation under 633-nm pumping did no… Show more

“…The major RR band in the C=C stretching region of P, (1625 and 1626 cm-' for large and intact pea phytochromes, respectively) showed a deuteration shift, while the corresponding bands of Pf, (1631 and 1591 cm-I for large and 1633 and 1591 cm-I for intact pea phytochromes) did not. It was inferred that this difference arose from protonation of the C-ring nitrogen of the tetrapyrrole chromophore in P, (Fodor et al, 1988;Mizutani et al, 1991) and its deprotonation in Pf, (Mizutani et al, 1991). The present results confirmed this proposal and furthermore suggest different protonated structures of the chromophore between P, and Ibl, since the 1599-cm-' band of Ibl did not show a deuteration shift while the 1 625-cm-1 band of P, showed it.…”

“…The R R bands of the red-absorbing (PI) and far-red-absorbing forms (Pf,) of large pea phytochromes at ambient temperatures are almost the same in their frequencies as those of the intact form reported previously (Mizutani et al, 1991). The R R spectrum of large phytochrome excited at 364 nm at -120 OC, where P, and a photointermediate, 1700 (=lumi-R), are trapped, showed a strong band at 1625 cm-l with a shoulder at 1648 cm-l in the C=C stretching region.…”

“…The respective Hill coefficients of 0.85, 1.02, and 0.81 suggest that one proton is involved. Similar spectrophotometric titration experiments with the cyanobacterial phytochrome Cph1 led to a pK a value of 9.5 (12), which was attributed to the deprotonation of the PCB chromophore on the basis of a comparison with the pH-dependent spectra of the model compound octaethylbiliverdin (33). Here we show by RR spectroscopy that in Agp1 the underlying acid-base reaction is also linked to the deprotonation of the chromophore (Fig.…”

“…The assumption of a protonated chromophore not only in the Pr form, but also in the Pfr form as deduced from FT-IR spectra (Siebert et al, 1990), would support such a view of lack of a proton transfer during the photoconversion. This interpretation has, however, been questioned (Tokutomi et al, 1990;Mizutani et al, 1991). If the proposed assignments are correct, the resonance Raman spectra would indicate instead a protonated Pr chromophore and a deprotonated Pfr chromophore.…”
