Abstract
The chloroplast twin arginine translocation system transports highly folded precursor proteins across the thylakoid using the protonmotive force as its only energy source. Hcf106 and another thylakoid protein, cpTatC compose the precursor receptor complex. Hcf106 is predicted to contain a single amino terminal transmembrane domain (TMD) followed by a Pro-Gly hinge, an amphipathic ?-helix, and a loosely structured carboxy terminus. Hcf106 has been shown biochemically to insert spontaneously into thylakoid membranes; however, how this occurs is not understood. To investigate how Hcf106 inserts itself into the membrane unassisted, solid-state NMR spectroscopy was used to investigate the membrane activity of the TMD. A synthetic peptide of the Hcf106 TMD was incorporated into multilamellar vesicles made of 100% 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-phosphocholine (POPC) or 85%:15% ratio with monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (POPC/MGDG) to probe peptide-lipid interaction. Solid-state (31)P NMR and (2)H NMR spectroscopic techniques were used to reveal peptide perturbations of the phospholipid membranes. Changes in spectral lineshape, chemical shift anisotropy width, (31)P T1 relaxation time and SCD order parameters demonstrated that the Hcf106 TMD peptide interacted with the phospholipids. Furthermore, the comparison between POPC and POPC/MGDG multilamellar vesicles indicated that lipid bilayer composition affected the peptide-lipid interaction with the peptide interacting preferentially with vesicles that more closely mimic the thylakoid.

Uniform isotope labeling of a eukaryotic seven-transmembrane helical protein in yeast enables high-resolution solid-state NMR studies in the lipid environment
Abstract Overexpression of isotope-labeled multi-spanning eukaryotic membrane proteins for structural NMR studies is often challenging. On the one hand, difficulties with achieving proper folding, membrane insertion, and native-like post-translational modifications frequently disqualify bacterial expression systems. On the other hand, eukaryotic cell cultures can be prohibitively expensive. One of the viable alternatives,...
