Membrane orientation of the Na,K-ATPase regulatory membrane protein CHIF determined by solid-state NMR.

ABSTRACT: Corticosteroid hormone-induced factor (CHIF) is a major regulatory subunit of the Na,K-ATPase, and a member of an evolutionarily conserved family of membrane proteins that regulate the function of the enzyme complex in a tissue-specific and physiological-state-specific manner. Here we present the structure of CHIF oriented in the membrane, determined by solid-state NMR orientation-dependent restraints. Because CHIF adopts a similar structure in lipid micelles and bilayers, it is possible to assign the solid-state NMR spectrum measured for (15)N-labeled CHIF in oriented bilayers from the structure determined in micelles, to obtain the global orientation of the protein in the membrane.

Orientation of the Escherichia coli outer membrane protein OmpX in phospholipid bilayer membranes determined by solid-State NMR.

Project description:The solid-state NMR orientation-dependent frequencies measured for membrane proteins in macroscopically oriented lipid bilayers provide precise orientation restraints for structure determination in membranes. Here we show that this information can also be used to supplement crystallographic structural data to establish the orientation of a membrane protein in the membrane. This is achieved by incorporating a few orientation restraints, measured for the Escherichia coli outer membrane protein OmpX in magnetically oriented lipid bilayers (bicelles), in a simulated annealing calculation with the coordinates of the OmpX crystal structure. The (1)H-(15)N dipolar couplings measured for the seven Phe residues of OmpX in oriented bilayers can be assigned by back-calculation of the NMR spectrum from the crystal structure and are sufficient to establish the three-dimensional orientation of the protein in the membrane, while the (15)N chemical shifts provide a measure of cross-validation for the analysis. In C14 lipid bilayers, OmpX adopts a transmembrane orientation with a 7 degrees tilt of its beta-barrel axis relative to the membrane normal, matching the hydrophobic thickness of the barrel with that of the membrane.

Structure of tightly membrane-bound mastoparan-X, a G-protein-activating peptide, determined by solid-state NMR.

Project description:The structure of mastoparan-X (MP-X), a G-protein activating peptide from wasp venom, in the state tightly bound to anionic phospholipid bilayers was determined by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Carbon-13 and nitrogen-15 NMR signals of uniformly labeled MP-X were completely assigned by multidimensional intraresidue C-C, N-CalphaCbeta, and N-Calpha-C', and interresidue Calpha-CalphaCbeta, N-CalphaCbeta, and N-C'-Calpha correlation experiments. The backbone torsion angles were predicted from the chemical shifts of 13C', 13Calpha, 13Cbeta, and 15N signals with the aid of protein NMR database programs. In addition, two 13C-13C and three 13C-15N distances between backbone nuclei were precisely measured by rotational resonance and REDOR experiments, respectively. The backbone structure of MP-X was determined from the 26 dihedral angle restraints and five distances with an average root-mean-square deviation of 0.6 A. Peptide MP-X in the bilayer-bound state formed an amphiphilic alpha-helix for residues Trp3-Leu14 and adopted an extended conformation for Asn2. This membrane-bound conformation is discussed in relation to the peptide's activities to form pores in membranes and to activate G-proteins. This study demonstrates the power of multidimensional solid-state NMR of uniformly isotope-labeled molecules and distance measurements for determining the structures of peptides bound to lipid membranes.

Orientation and Order of the Amide Group of Sphingomyelin in Bilayers Determined by Solid-State NMR.

Project description:Sphingomyelin (SM) and cholesterol (Chol) are considered essential for the formation of lipid rafts; however, the types of molecular interactions involved in this process, such as intermolecular hydrogen bonding, are not well understood. Since, unlike other phospholipids, SM is characterized by the presence of an amide group, it is essential to determine the orientation of the amide and its order in the lipid bilayers to understand the nature of the hydrogen bonds in lipid rafts. For this study, 1'-(13)C-2-(15)N-labeled and 2'-(13)C-2-(15)N-labeled SMs were prepared, and the rotational-axis direction and order parameters of the SM amide in bilayers were determined based on (13)C and (15)N chemical-shift anisotropies and intramolecular (13)C-(15)N dipole coupling constants. Results revealed that the amide orientation was minimally affected by Chol, whereas the order was enhanced significantly in its presence. Thus, Chol likely promotes the formation of an intermolecular hydrogen-bond network involving the SM amide without significantly changing its orientation, providing a higher order to the SM amide. To our knowledge, this study offers new insight into the significance of the SM amide orientation with regard to molecular recognition in lipid rafts, and therefore provides a deeper understanding of the mechanism of their formation.

pH-dependent thermodynamic intermediates of pHLIP membrane insertion determined by solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:The applications of the pH low insertion peptide (pHLIP) in cancer diagnosis and cross-membrane cargo delivery have drawn increasing attention in the past decade. With its origin as the transmembrane (TM) helix C of bacteriorhodopsin, pHLIP is also an important model for understanding how pH can affect the folding and topogenesis of a TM ?-helix. Protonations of multiple D/E residues transform pHLIP from an unstructured coil at membrane surface (known as state II, at pH ? 7) to a TM ?-helix (state III, pH ? 5.3). While these initial and end states of pHLIP insertion have been firmly established, what happens at the intervening pH values is less clear. However, the intervening pH range is most relevant to pHLIP-cell interactions in the acidic extracellular tumor environment (and in the endosomes within cells). Here, using advanced solid-state NMR spectroscopy with palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine unilamellar vesicles as the model membrane, we systematically examined the state of pHLIP-membrane interactions (in terms of the membrane locations of D/E residues, as well as lipid dynamics) at the intervening pH values of 6.4, 6.1, and 5.8, along with the known states at pH 7.4 and 5.3. Thermodynamic intermediate states distinct from the initial and end states were discovered to exist at each of the intervening pH examined. They support a multistage model of pHLIP insertion in which the D/E titrations occur in a defined sequence at distinct intermediate pH values. This multistage model has important ramifications in pHLIP applications.

Protein fold determined by paramagnetic magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Biomacromolecules that are challenging for the usual structural techniques can be studied with atomic resolution by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. However, the paucity of distance restraints >5 Å, traditionally derived from measurements of magnetic dipole-dipole couplings between protein nuclei, is a major bottleneck that hampers such structure elucidation efforts. Here, we describe a general approach that enables the rapid determination of global protein fold in the solid phase via measurements of nuclear paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PREs) in several analogues of the protein of interest containing covalently attached paramagnetic tags, without the use of conventional internuclear distance restraints. The method is demonstrated using six cysteine-EDTA-Cu(2+) mutants of the 56-residue B1 immunoglobulin-binding domain of protein G, for which ~230 longitudinal backbone (15)N PREs corresponding to distances of ~10-20 Å were obtained. The mean protein fold determined in this manner agrees with the X-ray structure with a backbone atom root-mean-square deviation of 1.8 Å.

Structure, orientation, and dynamics of the C-terminal hexapeptide of LRAP determined using solid-state NMR.

Project description:Amelogenin is the predominant protein found during enamel development and has been shown to be essential to proper enamel formation. Leucine-rich amelogenin peptide (LRAP) is a naturally occurring splice variant that preserves the charged N- and C-termini of full length amelogenin, regions thought to be crucial in interacting with hydroxaypatite. Particularly, the highly charged C-terminal hexapeptide (KREEVD) is thought to be the region most intimately interacting with hydroxyapatite (HAP). The structure of this charged region was investigated, along with the proximity to the surface and the mobility of two of the residues. The structure was found to be consistent with a random coil or more extended structure, as has been seen for more internalized residues in the C-terminus. The backbone K54(13C'), V58(13C'), and V58(15N) were all found to be close to the surface of HAP, approximately 6.0 angstroms from the nearest 31P atom, suggesting a strong interaction and emphasizing the importance of these residues in interacting with HAP. However, both ends of the hexapeptide at residues K54 and V58 experience significant mobility under hydrated conditions, implying that another portion of the protein helps to stabilize the strong LRAP-HAP interaction. Interestingly, the backbone of the C-terminal third of the protein is consistently 6.0 angstroms from the HAP surface, providing a model in this region of the protein lying flat on the surface with no three-dimensional folding. The combination of these features, that is, a random coil structure, a significant mobility, and a lack of three-dimensional folding in this region of the protein, may have an important functional role, possibly allowing maximum crystal inhibition at low protein concentrations.

Probing membrane protein structure using water polarization transfer solid-state NMR.

Project description:Water plays an essential role in the structure and function of proteins, lipid membranes and other biological macromolecules. Solid-state NMR heteronuclear-detected (1)H polarization transfer from water to biomolecules is a versatile approach for studying water-protein, water-membrane, and water-carbohydrate interactions in biology. We review radiofrequency pulse sequences for measuring water polarization transfer to biomolecules, the mechanisms of polarization transfer, and the application of this method to various biological systems. Three polarization transfer mechanisms, chemical exchange, spin diffusion and NOE, manifest themselves at different temperatures, magic-angle-spinning frequencies, and pulse irradiations. Chemical exchange is ubiquitous in all systems examined so far, and spin diffusion plays the key role in polarization transfer within the macromolecule. Tightly bound water molecules with long residence times are rare in proteins at ambient temperature. The water polarization-transfer technique has been used to study the hydration of microcrystalline proteins, lipid membranes, and plant cell wall polysaccharides, and to derive atomic-resolution details of the kinetics and mechanism of ion conduction in channels and pumps. Using this approach, we have measured the water polarization transfer to the transmembrane domain of the influenza M2 protein to obtain information on the structure of this tetrameric proton channel. At short mixing times, the polarization transfer rates are site-specific and depend on the pH, labile protons, sidechain conformation, as well as the radial position of the residues in this four-helix bundle. Despite the multiple dependences, the initial transfer rates reflect the periodic nature of the residue positions from the water-filled pore, thus this technique provides a way of gleaning secondary structure information, helix tilt angle, and the oligomeric structure of membrane proteins.

Application of solid-state NMR restraint potentials in membrane protein modeling.

Project description:We have developed a set of orientational restraint potentials for solid-state NMR observables including (15)N chemical shift and (15)N-(1)H dipolar coupling. Torsion angle molecular dynamics simulations with available experimental (15)N chemical shift and (15)N-(1)H dipolar coupling as target values have been performed to determine orientational information of four membrane proteins and to model the structures of some of these systems in oligomer states. The results suggest that incorporation of the orientational restraint potentials into molecular dynamics provides an efficient means to the determination of structures that optimally satisfy the experimental observables without an extensive geometrical search.

Detergent optimized membrane protein reconstitution in liposomes for solid state NMR.

Project description:For small helical membrane proteins, their structures are highly sensitive to their environment, and solid state NMR is a structural technique that can characterize these membrane proteins in native-like lipid bilayers and proteoliposomes. To date, a systematic method by which to evaluate the effect of the solubilizing detergent on proteoliposome preparations for solid state NMR of membrane proteins has not been presented in the literature. A set of experiments are presented aimed at determining the conditions most amenable to dialysis mediated reconstitution sample preparation. A membrane protein from M. tuberculosis is used to illustrate the method. The results show that a detergent that stabilizes the most protein is not always ideal and sometimes cannot be removed by dialysis. By focusing on the lipid and protein binding properties of the detergent, proteoliposome preparations can be readily produced, which provide double the signal-to-noise ratios for both the oriented sample and magic angle spinning solid state NMR. The method will allow more membrane protein drug targets to be structurally characterized in lipid bilayer environments.

A solid-state NMR index of helical membrane protein structure and topology.

Project description:The secondary structure and topology of membrane proteins can be described by inspection of two-dimensional (1)H-(15)N dipolar coupling/(15)N chemical shift polarization inversion spin exchange at the magic angle spectra obtained from uniformly (15)N-labeled samples in oriented bilayers. The characteristic wheel-like patterns of resonances observed in these spectra reflect helical wheel projections of residues in both transmembrane and in-plane helices and hence provide direct indices of the secondary structure and topology of membrane proteins in phospholipid bilayers. We refer to these patterns as PISA (polarity index slant angle) wheels. The transmembrane helix of the M2 peptide corresponding to the pore-lining segment of the acetylcholine receptor and the membrane surface helix of the antibiotic peptide magainin are used as examples.
