Manipulating the Energetics and Rates of Electron Transfer in Rhodobacter capsulatus Reaction Centers with Asymmetric Pigment Content
Abstract
Seemingly redundant parallel pathways for electron transfer (ET) – comprised of identical sets of cofactors – are a cornerstone feature of photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) involved in light-energy conversion. In native bacterial RCs, both the A and B branches house one bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) and one bacteriopheophytin (BPh), but the A branch is used exclusively. Described herein are results obtained for two Rhodobacter capsulatus RCs with an unnaturally high degree of cofactor asymmetry – two BPh on the RC’s B side and two BChl on the A side. These pigment changes derive, respectively, from the His(M180)Leu mutation [a BPh (ΦB) replaces the B-side BChl (BB)], and the Leu(M212)His mutation [a BChl (βA) replaces the A-side BPh (HA)]. Additionally, Tyr(M208)Phe was employed to disfavor ET to the A branch and in one mutant Val(M131)Glu creates a hydrogen bond to HB to enhance ET to HB. In both ΦB mutants, the decay kinetics of the excited primary ET donor (P*) resolve three populations with lifetimes of ~9 ps (50-60%), ~40 ps (10-20%) and ~200 ps (20-30%), with P+ΦB- formed predominately from the 9-ps fraction. The 50-60% yield of P+ΦB- is the highest yet observed for a ΦB-containing RC. Here, the results provide insightmore »
