Abstract

Photoactive yellow proteins (PYPs) constitute a new class of eubacterial photoreceptors, containing a deprotonated thiol ester-linked 4-hydroxycinnamic acid chromophore. Interactions with the protein dramatically change the (photo)chemical properties of this cofactor. Here we describe the reconstitution of apoPYP with anhydrides of various chromophore analogues. The resulting hybrid PYPs, their acid-denatured states, and corresponding model compounds were characterized with respect to their absorption spectrum, pK for chromophore deprotonation, fluorescence quantum yield, and Stokes shift. Three factors contributing to the tuning of the absorption of the hybrid PYPs were quantified: (i) thiol ester bond formation, (ii) chromophore deprotonation, and (iii) specific chromophore-protein interactions. Analogues lacking the 4-hydroxy substituent lack both contributions (chromophore deprotonation and specific chromophore-protein interactions), confirming the importance of this substituent in optical tuning of PYP. Hydroxy and methoxy substituents in the 3- and/or 5-position do not disrupt strong interactions with the protein but increase their pK for protonation and the fluorescence quantum yield. Both deprotonation and binding to ap...Continue Reading
