Late intermediate IL2 from time-resolved crystallography of the E46Q mutant of PYP
Overview
In the bacterial photoreceptor photoactive yellow protein (PYP), absorption of blue light by its chromophore leads to a conformational, change in the protein associated with differential signaling activity, as, it executes a reversible photocycle. Time-resolved Laue crystallography, allows structural snapshots (as short as 150 ps) of high crystallographic, resolution (approximately 1.6 A) to be taken of a protein as it functions., Here, we analyze by singular value decomposition a comprehensive, time-resolved crystallographic data set of the E46Q mutant of PYP, throughout the photocycle spanning 10 ns-100 ms. We identify and refine, the structures of five distinct intermediates and provide a plausible, chemical kinetic mechanism for their inter conversion. A clear structural, progression is visible in these intermediates, in which a signal generated, at the chromophore propagates through a distinct structural pathway of, conserved residues and results in structural changes near the N terminus, over 20 A distant from the chromophore.
