Heliorhodopsin (HeR) is a seven-helical transmembrane protein with a retinal chromophore that corresponds to a new rhodopsin family. HeR from the archaebacterium Thermoplasmatales archaeon (TaHeR) exhibits unique features, such as the inverted protein orientation in the membrane compared to other rhodopsins and a long photocycle. Here, we used solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to investigate the 13C and 15N NMR signals of the retinal chromophore and protonated Schiff base (RPSB) in TaHeR embedded in POPE/POPG membrane. Although the 14- and 20-13C retinal signals indicated 13-trans/15-anti (all-trans) configurations, the 20-13C chemical shift value was different from that of other microbial rhodopsins, indicating weakly steric hinderance between Phe203 and the C20 methyl group. 15N RPSB/λmax plot deviated from the linear correlation based on retinylidene-halide model compounds. Furthermore, 15N chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) suggested that Ser112 and Ser234 polar residues distinguish the electronic environment tendencies of RPSB from those of other microbial rhodopsins. Our NMR results revealed that the retinal chromophore and the RPSB in TaHeR exhibit unique electronic environments.

D001105 Archaea One of the three domains of life (the others being BACTERIA and Eukarya), formerly called Archaebacteria under the taxon Bacteria, but now considered separate and distinct. They are characterized by: (1) the presence of characteristic tRNAs and ribosomal RNAs; (2) the absence of peptidoglycan cell walls; (3) the presence of ether-linked lipids built from branched-chain subunits; and (4) their occurrence in unusual habitats. While archaea resemble bacteria in morphology and genomic organization, they resemble eukarya in their method of genomic replication. The domain contains at least four kingdoms: CRENARCHAEOTA; EURYARCHAEOTA; NANOARCHAEOTA; and KORARCHAEOTA. Archaebacteria,Archaeobacteria,Archaeon,Archebacteria
D012172 Retinaldehyde A diterpene derived from the carotenoid VITAMIN A which functions as the active component of the visual cycle. It is the prosthetic group of RHODOPSIN (i.e., covalently bonded to ROD OPSIN as 11-cis-retinal). When stimulated by visible light, rhodopsin transforms this cis-isomer of retinal to the trans-isomer (11-trans-retinal). This transformation straightens-out the bend of the retinal molecule and causes a change in the shape of rhodopsin triggering the visual process. A series of energy-requiring enzyme-catalyzed reactions convert the 11-trans-retinal back to the cis-isomer. 11-trans-Retinal,3,7-dimethyl-9-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2,4,6,8-Nonatetraenal,Axerophthal,Retinal,Retinene,Retinyl Aldehydde,Vitamin A Aldehyde,all-trans-Retinal,11-cis-Retinal,11 cis Retinal,11 trans Retinal,Aldehydde, Retinyl,Aldehyde, Vitamin A,all trans Retinal
