SANS data from solutions of the sensory rhodopsin II / transducer complex in 1400 mM NaCl, 49.4 mM Na/Na-Pi, 1.0 mM EDTA, 0.05% DDM (D2O buffer), pD 8 were collected using the YuMO (IBR-2) instrument (FLNP, JINR; Dubna, Russian Federation) equipped with a He3-fulfilled, 8 independent wire detector. One solute concentration of 0.33 mg/ml was measured at 20°C. SANS measurements were performed with a two-detector system (sample-detector distances of 4.5 m and 12.97 m). The wavelengths used are from 0.05 to 0.8 nm, the contributions of which are separated using time-of-flight technology.
The protein of study is a non-fused complex of sensory rhodopsin II (NpSRII, UniProt ID P42196) with its cognate transducer (NpHtrII, UniProt ID P42259) from Nartonomonas pharaonis. The NpSRII/NpHtrII complex in 0.05% (w/v) n-Dodecyl β-D-maltoside (DDM) detergent forms dimers and trimers of dimers at 2800 mM NaCl, the volume fractions of which are 81.7% and 18.3%, respectively.
