Cryo-EM structures of the channelrhodopsin ChRmine in lipid nanodiscs.

Nature communications 20220817 1

Microbial channelrhodopsins are light-gated ion channels widely used for optogenetic manipulation of neuronal activity. ChRmine is a bacteriorhodopsin-like cation channelrhodopsin (BCCR) more closely related to ion pump rhodopsins than other channelrhodopsins. ChRmine displays unique properties favorable for optogenetics including high light sensitivity, a broad, red-shifted activation spectrum, cation selectivity, and large photocurrents, while its slow closing kinetics impedes some application ...[more]

Spontaneous Lipid Nanodisc Fomation by Amphiphilic Polymethacrylate Copolymers.

Project description:There is a growing interest in the use of lipid bilayer nanodiscs for various biochemical and biomedical applications. Among the different types of nanodiscs, the unique features of synthetic polymer-based nanodiscs have attracted additional interest. A styrene-maleic acid (SMA) copolymer demonstrated to form lipid nanodiscs has been used for structural biology related studies on membrane proteins. However, the application of SMA polymer based lipid nanodiscs is limited because of the strong absorption of the aromatic group interfering with various experimental measurements. Thus, there is considerable interest in the development of other molecular frameworks for the formation of polymer-based lipid nanodiscs. In this study, we report the first synthesis and characterization of a library of polymethacrylate random copolymers as alternatives to SMA polymer. In addition, we experimentally demonstrate the ability of these polymers to form lipid bilayer nanodiscs through the fragmentation of lipid vesicles by means of light scattering, electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and solution and solid-state NMR experiments. We further demonstrate a unique application of the newly developed polymer for kinetics and structural characterization of the aggregation of human islet amyloid polypeptide (also known as amylin) within the lipid bilayer of the polymer nanodiscs using thioflavin-T-based fluorescence and circular dichroism experiments. Our results demonstrate that the reported new styrene-free polymers can be used in high-throughput biophysical experiments. Therefore, we expect that the new polymer nanodiscs will be valuable in the structural studies of amyloid proteins and membrane proteins by various biophysical techniques.

Do Nanodisc Assembly Conditions Affect Natural Lipid Uptake?

Project description:Lipids play critical roles in modulating membrane protein structure, interactions, and activity. Nanodiscs provide a tunable membrane mimetic that can model these endogenous protein-lipid interactions in a nanoscale lipid bilayer. However, most studies of membrane proteins with nanodiscs use simple synthetic lipids that lack the headgroup and fatty acyl diversity of natural extracts. Prior research has successfully used natural lipid extracts in nanodiscs that more accurately mimic natural environments, but it is not clear how nanodisc assembly may bias the incorporated lipid profiles. Here, we applied lipidomics to investigate how nanodisc assembly conditions affect the profile of natural lipids in nanodiscs. Specifically, we tested the effects of assembly temperature, nanodisc size, and lipidome extract complexity. Globally, our analysis demonstrates that the lipids profiles are largely unaffected by nanodisc assembly conditions. However, a few notable changes emerged within individual lipids and lipid classes, such as a differential incorporation of cardiolipin and phosphatidylglycerol lipids from the E. coli polar lipid extract at different temperatures. Conversely, some classes of brain lipids were affected by nanodisc size at higher temperatures. Collectively, these data enable the application of nanodiscs to study protein-lipid interactions in complex lipid environments.

Structure of the human TRPM4 ion channel in a lipid nanodisc.

Project description:Transient receptor potential (TRP) melastatin 4 (TRPM4) is a widely expressed cation channel associated with a variety of cardiovascular disorders. TRPM4 is activated by increased intracellular calcium in a voltage-dependent manner but, unlike many other TRP channels, is permeable to monovalent cations only. Here we present two structures of full-length human TRPM4 embedded in lipid nanodiscs at ~3-angstrom resolution, as determined by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy. These structures, with and without calcium bound, reveal a general architecture for this major subfamily of TRP channels and a well-defined calcium-binding site within the intracellular side of the S1-S4 domain. The structures correspond to two distinct closed states. Calcium binding induces conformational changes that likely prime the channel for voltage-dependent opening.

Structural ensemble of a glutamate transporter homologue in lipid nanodisc environment.

Project description:Glutamate transporters are cation-coupled secondary active membrane transporters that clear the neurotransmitter L-glutamate from the synaptic cleft. These transporters are homotrimers, with each protomer functioning independently by an elevator-type mechanism, in which a mobile transport domain alternates between inward- and outward-oriented states. Using single-particle cryo-EM we have determined five structures of the glutamate transporter homologue GltTk, a Na+- L-aspartate symporter, embedded in lipid nanodiscs. Dependent on the substrate concentrations used, the protomers of the trimer adopt a variety of asymmetrical conformations, consistent with the independent movement. Six of the 15 resolved protomers are in a hitherto elusive state of the transport cycle in which the inward-facing transporters are loaded with Na+ ions. These structures explain how substrate-leakage is prevented - a strict requirement for coupled transport. The belt protein of the lipid nanodiscs bends around the inward oriented protomers, suggesting that membrane deformations occur during transport.

Capturing Lipid Nanodisc Shape and Properties Using a Continuum Elastic Theory.

Project description:Lipid nanodiscs are nanometric bilayer patches enveloped by confining structures, commonly composed of membrane scaffolding proteins (MSPs). To resolve the interplay between MSP geometry, lipid confinement, and membrane material properties on the nanodisc shape, we apply a continuum elastic theory accounting for lipid bending, tilting, and area deformations. The equilibrium nanodisc shape is then determined by minimizing the elastic free energy functional. Analytic expressions derived under simplifying assumptions demonstrate that the nanodisc shape is sensitive to its size, lipid density, and the lipid tilt and thickness imposed at the contact with the MSP. Under matching physical parameters, these expressions quantitatively reproduce the shape of nanodiscs seen in molecular dynamics simulations, but only if lipid tilt is explicitly considered. We further demonstrate how the bending rigidity can be extracted from the membrane shape profile by fitting the numerically minimized full elastic functional to the membrane shape found in simulations. This fitting procedure faithfully informs on the bending rigidity of nanodiscs larger than ca. 5 nm in radius. The fitted profiles accurately reproduce the increase in bending modulus found using real-space fluctuation analysis of simulated nanodiscs and, for large nanodiscs, also accurately resolve its spatial variations. Our study shows how deformations in lipid patches confined in nanodiscs can be well described by a continuum elastic theory and how this fit can be used to determine local material properties from shape analysis of nanodiscs in simulations. This methodology could potentially allow direct determination of lipid properties from experiments, for example cryo-electron microscopy images of lipid nanodiscs, thereby allowing to guide the development of future nanodisc formulations with desired properties.
