Phospholamban (PLB) is a small transmembrane protein that regulates calcium transport across the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of cardiac cells. PLB self-associates into pentamers within sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles, but the oligomeric status of PLB in SR membranes is not known. This work has shown that a mutant of PLB, with all native cysteine residues replaced by alanine (Ala-PLB), runs as a monomer on SDS-PAGE gels, in agreement with previous studies [Karim et al. (2000) Biochemistry 39, 10892-10897]. By contrast, a peptide representing the transmembrane domain of the cysteine-free mutant (TM-Ala-PLB) coexists as pentamers, dimers, and monomers on gels. Solid-state NMR methods were used to examine the size and heterogeneity of Ala-PLB and TM-Ala-PLB labeled with (13)C and (2)H in the transmembrane domain and incorporated into dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) bilayers. Wide line (2)H NMR and (13)C cross-polarization magic-angle spinning (CP-MAS) NMR spectra of Ala-PLB and TM-Ala-PLB revealed two distinct species of each of the proteins in the membranes. In the case of Ala-PLB one species was present initially and a second species emerged after 12 h. Measurements of (1)H-(13)C dipolar couplings for the two species of Ala-PLB showed that the rotational diffusion of one species was relatively rapid, defined by a correlation time (tau(R)) of less than 10 micros, whereas the rotation of the other species was comparatively slow (tau(R) approximately 60 micros). These results suggest that although Ala-PLB runs as a monomer on gels, a mixture of different oligomeric forms of the protein, possibly monomers and pentamers, is present in DMPC bilayers. Caution must therefore be exercised in using SDS-PAGE to draw conclusions about the oligomeric state of PLB variants in lipid bilayers.

Phospholamban (PLN) is a type II membrane protein that inhibits the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA), thereby regulating calcium homeostasis in cardiac muscle. In membranes, PLN forms pentamers that have been proposed to function either as a storage for active monomers or as ion channels. Here, we report the T-state structure of pentameric PLN solved by a hybrid solution and...

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...
