Function
[BACR1_HALWD] Light-driven proton pump. The chromophore contains 78% all-trans- and 22% 13-cis-retinal in the dark and 90% all-trans- and 10% 13-cis-retinal upon illumination with >500 nm light.[1] [2] [3]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
For some membrane proteins, detergent-mediated solubilization compromises protein stability and functionality, often impairing biophysical and structural analyses. Hence, membrane-protein structure determination is a continuing bottleneck in the field of protein crystallography. Here, as an alternative to approaches mediated by conventional detergents, we report the crystallogenesis of a recombinantly produced membrane protein that never left a lipid bilayer environment. We used styrene-maleic acid (SMA) copolymers to solubilize lipid-embedded proteins into SMA nanodiscs, purified these discs by affinity and size-exclusion chromatography, and transferred proteins into the lipidic cubic phase (LCP) for in meso crystallization. The 2.0-A structure of an alpha-helical seven-transmembrane microbial rhodopsin thus obtained is of high quality and virtually identical to the 2.2-A structure obtained from traditional detergent-based purification and subsequent LCP crystallization.
