  • PubMed Abstract: 

    Introduction: Dissecting the intricate networks of covalent and non-covalent interactions that stabilize complex protein structures is notoriously difficult and requires subtle atomic-level exchanges to precisely affect local chemical functionality. The function of the Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP), a light-driven photoswitch involved in cyanobacterial photoprotection, depends strongly on two H-bonds between the 4-ketolated xanthophyll cofactor and two highly conserved residues in the C-terminal domain (Trp288 and Tyr201). Method: By orthogonal translation, we replaced Trp288 in Synechocystis OCP with 3-benzothienyl- L -alanine (BTA), thereby exchanging the imino nitrogen for a sulphur atom. Results: Although the high-resolution (1.8 Å) crystal structure of the fully photoactive OCP-W288_BTA protein showed perfect isomorphism to the native structure, the spectroscopic and kinetic properties changed distinctly. We accurately parameterized the effects of the absence of a single H-bond on the spectroscopic and thermodynamic properties of OCP photoconversion and reveal general principles underlying the design of photoreceptors by natural evolution. Discussion: Such "molecular surgery" is superior over trial-and-error methods in hypothesis-driven research of complex chemical systems.
