Lipodisq nanoparticles were used as a membrane mimic system for probing the structural and dynamic properties of the integral membrane protein KCNE1 using site-directed spin labeling EPR spectroscopy and indicated significant differences in EPR spectral line broadening and a corresponding inverse central line width between spin-labeledKCNE1 residues located inside and outside of the membrane.

A combination of three recently developed methodologies is employed, bifunctional spin labels, SMA-Lipodisq nanoparticles, and Q band pulsed EPR measurements, to obtain improved signal sensitivity, increased transverse relaxation time, and more accurate and precise distances in DEER measurements on the integral membrane protein KCNE1.

Development of electron spin echo envelope modulation spectroscopy to probe the secondary structure of recombinant membrane proteins in a lipid bilayer

This study shows that the ESEEM approach can be used to probe the local secondary structure of a 2H‐labeled d8‐Val overexpressed membrane protein in a membrane mimetic environment and extends the application to much larger membrane protein systems that are difficult to study with X‐ray crystallography and/or NMR spectroscopy.

Characterization of Bifunctional Spin Labels for Investigating the Structural and Dynamic Properties of Membrane Proteins Using EPR Spectroscopy.

The utility of investigating the structural and dynamic properties of membrane proteins in physiologically relevant membrane mimetics using BSLs is demonstrated by performing CW-EPR spectral line shape analysis as a function of temperature on spin-labeled sites inside and outside of the membrane for the integral membrane protein KCNE1 in POPC/POPG lipid bilayers and POPC-POPg lipodisq nanoparticles.

Structural Investigation of the Transmembrane Domain of KCNE1 in Proteoliposomes

Results indicate that the structure of the TMD of KCNE1 is helical in proteoliposomes and is slightly curved, which is consistent with the previously determined solution NMR structure in micelles, and hypothesize that the curvature is likely to be maintained upon binding of the protein to the KCNQ1 channel.

Assessing oligomerization of membrane proteins by four-pulse DEER: pH-dependent dimerization of NhaA Na+/H+ antiporter of E. coli.

A quantitative analysis suggests a dimerization equilibrium, which depends moderately on pH, as antiporter activity of NhaA changes drastically in the studied pH range, and residues 225 and 254 are probably located not in the sensor or ion translocation sites themselves but in domains that convey the signal from the pH sensor to the translocation site.
