Abstract
Macrocycles made of cholate building blocks were previously found to transport glucose readily across lipid bilayers. In this study, an (15)N, (13)C?-labeled glycine was inserted into a cyclic cholate trimer and attached at the end of a linear trimer, respectively. The isotopic labeling allowed us to use solid-state NMR spectroscopy to study the dynamics, aggregation, and depth of insertion of these compounds in lipid membranes. The cyclic compound was found to be mostly immobilized in DLPC, POPC/POPG, and POPC/POPG/cholesterol membranes, whereas the linear trimer displayed large-amplitude motion that depended on the membrane thickness and viscosity. (13)C-detected (1)H spin diffusion experiments revealed the depth of insertion of the compounds in the membranes, as well as their contact with water molecules. The data support a consistent stacking model for the cholate macrocycles in lipid membranes, driven by the hydrophobic interactions of the water molecules in the interior of the macrocycles. The study also shows a strong preference of the linear trimer for the membrane surface, consistent with its lack of transport activity in earlier liposome leakage assays.

Environmental factors such as temperature, hydration, and lipid bilayer properties are tightly coupled to the dynamics of membrane proteins. So far, site-resolved data visualizing the protein's response to alterations in these factors are rare, and conclusions had to be drawn from dynamic data averaged over the whole protein...
