- W4385431154 abstract "Sensation of light is essential for all organisms. The eye-less nematode Caenorhabditis elegans detects UV and blue light to evoke escape behavior. The photosensor LITE-1 absorbs UV photons with an unusually high extinction coefficient, involving essential tryptophans. Here, we modeled the structure and dynamics of LITE-1 using AlphaFold2-multimer and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and performed mutational and behavioral assays in C. elegans to characterize its function. LITE-1 resembles olfactory and gustatory receptors from insects, recently shown to be tetrameric ion channels. We identified residues required for channel gating, light absorption, and mechanisms of photo-oxidation, involving a likely binding site for the peroxiredoxin PRDX-2. Furthermore, we identified the binding pocket for a putative chromophore. Several residues lining this pocket have previously been established as essential for LITE-1 function. A newly identified critical cysteine pointing into the pocket represents a likely chromophore attachment site. We derived a model for how photon absorption, via a network of tryptophans and other aromatic amino acids, induces an excited state that is transferred to the chromophore. This evokes conformational changes in the protein, possibly leading to a state receptive to oxidation of cysteines and, jointly, to channel gating. Electrophysiological data support the idea that LITE-1 is a photon and H2O2-coincidence detector. Other proteins with similarity to LITE-1, specifically C. elegans GUR-3, likely use a similar mechanism for photon detection. Thus, a common protein fold and assembly, used for chemoreception in insects, possibly by binding of a particular compound, may have evolved into a light-activated ion channel." @default.
