<P><I>Acetabularia</I> rhodopsins are the firstmicrobialrhodopsins discovered in a marine plant organism, <I>Acetabulariaacetabulum</I>. Previously, we expressed <I>Acetabularia</I> rhodopsin II (ARII) by a cell-free system from one of two opsingenes in <I>A. acetabulum</I> cDNA and showed that ARIIis a light-driven proton pump [Wada, T., et al. (2011) <I>J.Mol. Biol.</I><I>411</I>, 986–998]. In thisstudy, the photochemistry of ARII was examined using the flash-photolysistechnique, and data were analyzed using a sequential irreversiblemodel. Five photochemically defined intermediates (P<SUB><I>i</I></SUB>) were sufficient to simulate the data. Noticeably, both P<SUB>3</SUB> and P<SUB>4</SUB> contain an equilibrium mixture of M, N,and O. Using a transparent indium tin oxide electrode, the photoinducedproton transfer was measured over a wide pH range. Analysis of thepH-dependent proton transfer allowed estimation of the p<I>K</I><SUB>a</SUB> values of some amino acid residues. The estimated valueswere 2.6, 5.9 (or 6.3), 8.4, 9.3, 10.5, and 11.3. These values wereassigned as the p<I>K</I><SUB>a</SUB> of Asp81 (Asp85<SUP>BR</SUP>) in the dark, Asp92 (Asp96<SUP>BR</SUP>) at N, Glu199 (Glu204<SUP>BR</SUP>) at M, Glu199 in the dark, an undetermined proton-releasingresidue at the release, and the pH to start denaturation, respectively.Following this analysis, the proton transfer of ARII is discussed.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/bichaw/2011/bichaw.2011.50.issue-41/bi2009932/production/images/medium/bi-2011-009932_0006.gif'></P>

<P>The zinc transporter protein ZIP13 plays critical roles in bone, tooth, and connective tissue development, and its dysfunction is responsible for the spondylocheirodysplastic form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (SCD-EDS, OMIM 612350). Here, we report the molecular pathogenic mechanism of SCD-EDS caused by two different mutant ZIP13 proteins found in human patients: ZIP13<SUP>G64D</SUP>, in which Gly at amino acid position 64 is replaced by Asp, and ZIP13<SUP>ΔFLA</SUP>, which contains a deletion of Phe-Leu-Ala. We demonstrated that both the ZIP13<SUP>G64D</SUP> and ZIP13<SUP>ΔFLA</SUP> protein levels are decreased by degradation via the valosin-containing protein (VCP)-linked ubiquitin proteasome pathway. The inhibition of degradation pathways rescued the protein expression levels, resulting in improved intracellular Zn homeostasis. Our findings uncover the pathogenic mechanisms elicited by mutant ZIP13 proteins. Further elucidation of these degradation processes may lead to novel therapeutic targets for SCD-EDS.</P>
