摘要

The reaction center (RC) from Rhodobacter sphaeroides converts light into chemical energy through the reduction and protonation of a bound quinone molecule QB (the secondary quinone electron acceptor). We investigated the proton transfer pathway by mea- Suring the proton-coupled electron transfer, kAB~(2) [Q_AQ_B' + H+ → Q_A(Q_BH)-] in native and mutant RCs in the absence and presence of Cd~2+. Previous work has shown that the binding of Cd~2+ decreases k_AB(2) in native RCs ≈100-fold. The preceding paper shows that bound Cd~2+ binds to Asp-H 124. His-H 126, and His-H 128. This region represents the entry point for protons. In this work we investigated the proton transfer pathway connecting the entry point with Q_B by searching for mutations that greatly affect k_AB(2) (≥10-fold) in the presence of Cd2+, where k~AB(2) is limited by the proton transfer rate (k_H). Upon mutation of Asp-L210 or Asp-M17 to Asn, k_H decreased from ≈60 s-1 to ≈e7 s-1, which shows the important role that Asp-L210 and Asp-M17 play in the proton transfer chain. By comparing the rate of proton transfer in the mutants with that in native RCs in the absence of Cd2+ we conclude that alternate proton transfer path- ways. which have been postulated, are at least 103-fold less effective.
