Abstract
We describe the synthesis, pharmacological properties, and structures of antidiuretic agonists, arginine vasopressin (AVP) and [d-Arg8]-vasopressin (DAVP), and their inverso analogues. The structures of the peptides are studied based on micellar and liposomic models of cell membranes using CD spectroscopy. Additionally, three-dimensional structures in mixed anionic–zwitterionic micelles are obtained using NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. NMR data have shown that AVP and DAVP tend to adopt typical of vasopressin-like peptides β-turns: in the 2–5 and 3–6 fragments. The inverso-analogues also adopt β-turns in the 3–6 fragments. For this reason, their inactivity seems to be due to the difference in side chains orientations of Tyr2, Phe3, and Arg8, important for interactions with the receptors. Again, the potent antidiuretic activity of DAVP can be explained by CD data suggesting differences in mutual arrangement of the aromatic side chains of Tyr2 and Phe3 in this peptide in liposomes rather than of native AVP. In the presence of liposomes, the smallest conformational changes of the peptides are noticed with DPPC and the largest with DPPG liposomes. This suggests that electrostatic interactions are crucial for the peptide–membrane interactions. We obtained similar, probably active, conformations of the antidiuretic agonists in the mixed DPC/SDS micelles (5:1) and in the mixed DPPC/DPPG (7:3) liposomes. Thus it can be speculated that the anionic–zwitterionic liposomes as well as the anionic–zwitterionic micelles, mimicking the eukaryotic cell membrane environment, partially restrict conformational freedom of the peptides and probably induce conformations resembling those of biologically relevant ones.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) are endopeptidases that regulate diverse biological processes. Synthesized as zymogens, MMPs become active after removal of their prodomains. Much is known about the metalloprotease activity of these enzymes, but noncanonical functions are poorly defined, and functions of the prodomains have been largely ignored. Here we report a novel metalloprotease-independent, channel-modulating function for the prodomain of MMP23 (MMP23-PD). Whole-cell patch clamping and confocal microscopy, coupled with deletion analysis, demonstrate that MMP23-PD suppresses the voltage-gated potassium channel KV1.3, but not the closely related KV1.2 channel, by trapping the channel intracellularly. Studies with KV1.2-1.3 chimeras suggest that MMP23-PD requires the presence of the KV1.3 region from the S5 trans-membrane segment to the C terminus to modulate KV1.3 channel function. NMR studies of MMP23-PD reveal a single, kinked trans-membrane α-helix, joined by a short linker to a juxtamembrane α-helix, which is associated with the surface of the membrane and protected from exchange with the solvent. The topological similarity of MMP23-PD to KCNE1, KCNE2, and KCNE4 proteins that trap KV1.3, KV1.4, KV3.3, and KV3.4 channels early in the secretory pathway suggests a shared mechanism of channel regulation. MMP23 and KV1.3 expression is enhanced and overlapping in colorectal cancers where the interaction of the two proteins could affect cell function.

Abstract
PMP1, a regulatory subunit of the yeast plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase, is a single transmembrane helix protein. Its cytoplasmic C-terminus possesses several positively charged residues and interacts with phosphatidylserine lipids as shown through both (1)H- and (2)H-NMR experiments. We used all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to obtain atomic-scale data on the effects of membrane interface lipid composition on PMP1 structure and tilt. PMP1 was embedded in two hydrated bilayers, differing in the composition of the interfacial region. The neutral bilayer is composed of POPC (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-3-glycero-phosphatidylcholine) lipids and the negatively charged bilayer is composed of POPC and anionic POPS (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-3-glycero-phosphatidylserine) lipids. Our results were consistent with NMR data obtained previously, such as a lipid sn-2 chain lying on the W28 aromatic ring and in the groove formed on one side of the PMP1 helix. In pure POPC, the transmembrane helix is two residues longer than the initial structure and the helix tilt remains constant at 6 ± 3°. By contrast, in mixed POPC-POPS, the initial helical structure of PMP1 is stable throughout the simulation time even though the C-terminal residues interact strongly with POPS headgroups, leading to a significant increase of the helix tilt within the membrane to 20 ± 5°.

Abstract
Immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM)-containing receptors inhibit cellular responsiveness to immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-linked receptors. Although tyrosine phosphorylation is central to the initiation of both inhibitory ITIM and stimulatory ITAM signaling, the events that regulate receptor phosphorylation are incompletely understood. Previous studies have shown that ITAM tyrosines engage in structure-inducing interactions with the plasma membrane that must be relieved for phosphorylation to occur. Whether ITIM phosphorylation is similarly regulated and the mechanisms responsible for release from plasma membrane interactions to enable phosphorylation, however, have not been defined. PECAM-1 is a dual ITIM-containing receptor that inhibits ITAM-dependent responses in hematopoietic cells. We found that the PECAM-1 cytoplasmic domain is unstructured in an aqueous environment but adopts an α-helical conformation within a localized region on interaction with lipid vesicles that mimic the plasma membrane. The lipid-interacting segment contains the C-terminal ITIM tyrosine and a serine residue that undergo activation-dependent phosphorylation. The N-terminal ITIM is excluded from the lipid-interacting segment, and its phosphorylation is secondary to phosphorylation of the membrane-interacting C-terminal ITIM. On the basis of these findings, we propose a novel model for regulation of inhibitory signaling by ITIM-containing receptors that relies on reversible plasma membrane interactions and sequential ITIM phosphorylation.

Abstract
Nonenveloped virus must penetrate the cellular membrane to access the cytoplasm without the benefit of membrane fusion. For birnavirus, one of the peptides present in the virus capsid, pep46 for infectious bursal disease virus, is able to induce pores into membranes as an intermediate step of the birnavirus-penetration pathway. Using osmotic protection experiments, we demonstrate here that pep46 and its pore-forming N-terminal moiety (pep22) form pores of different diameters, 5-8 and 2-4 nm, respectively, showing that both pep46 moieties participate to pore formation. The solution structures of pep46, pep22, and pep24 (the pep46 C-terminal moiety) in different hydrophobic environments and micelles determined by (1)H NMR studies provide structural insights of the pep46 domain interaction. In CDCl(3)/CD(3)OH mixture and in dodecylphosphocholine micelles, the N-terminal domain of pep46 is structured in a long kinked helix, although the C terminus is structured in one or two helices depending upon the solvents used. We also show that the folding and the proline isomerization status of pep46 depend on the type of hydrophobic environment. NMR spectroscopy with labeled phospholipid micelles, differential scanning calorimetry, and plasmon waveguide resonance studies show the peptides lie parallel to the lipid-water interface, perturbing the fatty acid chain packing. All these data lead to a model in which the two domains of pep46 interact with the membrane to form pores.

Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides are universal host defense membrane-targeting molecules in a variety of life forms. Structure elucidation provides important insight into the mechanism of action. Here we present the three-dimensional structure of a membrane peptide in complex with dioctanoyl phosphatidylglycerol (D8PG) micelles determined by solution NMR spectroscopy. The model peptide, derived from the key antibacterial region of human LL-37, adopted an amphipathic helical structure based on 182 NOE-generated distance restraints and 34 chemical shift-derived angle restraints. Using the same NOESY experiment, it is also possible to delineate in detail the location of this peptide in lipid micelles via one-dimensional slice analysis of the intermolecular NOE cross peaks between the peptide and lipid. Hydrophobic aromatic side chains gave medium to strong NOE cross peaks, backbone amide protons and interfacial arginine side chain HN protons showed weak cross peaks, and arginine side chains on the hydrophilic face yielded no cross peaks with D8PG. Such a peptide-lipid intermolecular NOE pattern indicates a surface location of the amphipathic helix on the lipid micelle. In contrast, the epsilon HN protons of the three arginine side chains showed more or less similar intermolecular NOE cross peaks with lipid acyl chains when the helical structure was disrupted by selective d-amino acid incorporation, providing the basis for the selective toxic effect of the peptide against bacteria but not human cells. The differences in the intermolecular NOE patterns indicate that these peptides interact with model membranes in different mechanisms. Major NMR experiments for detecting protein-lipid NOE cross peaks are discussed.

Abstract
Membrane protein insertion in the lipid bilayer is determining for their activity and is governed by various factors such as specific sequence motifs or key amino-acids. A detailed fluorescence study of such factors is exemplified with PMP1, a small (38 residues) single-membrane span protein that regulates the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase in yeast and specifically interacts with phosphatidylserines. Such interactions may stabilize raft domains that have been shown to contain H(+)-ATPase. Previous NMR studies of various fragments have focused on the critical role of interfacial residues in the PMP1 structure and intermolecular interactions. The C-terminal domain contains a terminal Phe (F38), a single Trp (W28) and a single Tyr (Y25) that may act together to anchor the protein in the membrane. In order to describe the location and dynamics of W28 and the influence of Y25 on protein insertion within membrane, we carried out a detailed steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence study of the synthetic G13-F38 fragment and its Tyr-less mutant, Y25L in various membrane mimetic systems. Detergent micelles are conveniently used for this purpose. We used dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) in order to compare with and complement previous NMR results. In addition, dodecylmaltoside (DM) was used so that we could apply our recently described new quenching method by two brominated analogs of DM (de Foresta et al. 2002, Eur. Biophys. J. 31:185-97). In both systems, and in the presence and absence of Y25, W28 was shown to be located below but close to the polar headgroup region, as shown by its maximum emission wavelengths (lambda(max)), curves for the quenching of Trp by the brominated analogs of DM and bimolecular constants for quenching (k(q)) by acrylamide. Results were interpreted by comparison with calibration data obtained with fluorescent model peptides. Time-resolved anisotropy measurements were consistent with PMP1 fragment immobilization within peptide-detergent complexes. We tentatively assigned the two major Trp lifetimes to the Trp (chi(1)=60 degrees and 180 degrees ) rotamers, based on the recent lifetime-rotamer correlation proposed for model cyclic peptides (Pan and Barkley 2004, Biophys J 86:3828-35). We also analyzed the role of the hydrophobic anchor, by comparing the micelle binding of fragments of various lengths including the synthesized full-length protein and detected peculiar differences for protein interaction with the polar headgroups of DM or DPC.

Abstract
The interaction of three polylysines, Lys(5) (N = 5), Lys(30) (N = 30), and Lys(100) (N = 100), where N is the number of lysine residues per chain, with phosphatidylserine-containing lipid bilayer membranes was investigated using 2H NMR spectroscopy. Lys(30) and Lys(100) added to multilamellar vesicles composed of (70:30) (mol:mol) mixtures of choline-deuterated 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) + 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine (POPS) produced two resolvable 2H NMR spectral components under conditions of low ionic strength and for cases where the global anionic lipid charge was in excess over the global cationic polypeptide charge. The intensities and quadrupolar splittings of the two spectral components were consistent with the existence of polylysine-bound domains enriched in POPS, in coexistence with polylysine-free domains depleted in POPS. Lys(5), however, yielded no 2H NMR resolvable domains. Increasing ionic strength caused domains to become diffuse and eventually dissipate entirely. At physiological salt concentrations, only Lys(100) yielded 2H NMR-resolvable domains. Therefore, under physiological conditions of ionic strength, pH, and anionic lipid bilayer content, and in the absence of other, e.g., hydrophobic, contributions to the binding free energy, the minimum number of lysine residues sufficient to produce spectroscopically resolvable POPS-enriched domains on the 2H NMR millisecond timescale may be fewer than 100, but is certainly greater than 30.

Abstract
PMP1 is a 38-residue single-spanning membrane protein whose C-terminal cytoplasmic domain, Y25-F38, is highly positively charged. The conformational coupling between the transmembrane span and the cytoplasmic domain of PMP1 was investigated from 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance data of two synthetic fragments: F9-F38, i.e. 80% of the whole sequence, and Y25-F38, the isolated cytoplasmic domain. Highly disordered in aqueous solution, the Y25-F38 peptide adopts a well-defined conformation in the presence of dodecylphosphocholine micelles. Compared with the long PMP1 fragment, this structure exhibits both native and non-native elements. Our results make it possible to assess the influence of a hydrophobic anchor on the intrinsic conformational propensity of a cytoplasmic domain.

Abstract
Three adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) fragments (1-10, 1-24, and 11-24) have been studied in water and in sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) micelles by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The trans-cis isomerism at all three proline sites (at positions 12, 19, and 24) was found in the 11-24 segment of the peptide. The population of the cis isomers changes with the environment of the peptide. Specifically, the presence of the DPC micelle does not affect the trans-cis equilibrium in the 11-24 segment from that in water. In contrast, the presence of the SDS micelles decreases the population of the cis isomer at Pro(24), but increases its population at Pro(12) and Pro(19). The effect of SDS micelles on the trans-cis equilibrium at these proline sites was discussed. Intermolecular nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) correlations between the ACTH peptides and the micelles were observed. These correlations occurred only in the 1-10 segment of the peptides, and the hydrophobic side chains contributed most to the intermolecular NOE. The intermolecular NOE pattern corroborates the suggestion that the 1-10 segment of the ACTH peptides bind to these micelles via a surface-binding mode, with most of the interactions coming from the insertion of the hydrophobic side chains.

Abstract
PMP1 is a 38-residue plasma membrane protein of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that regulates the activity of the H(+)-ATPase. The cytoplasmic domain conformation results in a specific interfacial distribution of five basic side chains, thought to strongly interact with anionic phospholipids. We have used the PMP1 18-38 fragment to carry out a deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance ((2)H-NMR) study for investigating the interactions between the PMP1 cytoplasmic domain and phosphatidylserines. For this purpose, mixed bilayers of 1-palmitoyl, 2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and 1-palmitoyl, 2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine (POPS) were used as model membranes (POPC/POPS 5:1, m/m). Spectra of headgroup- and chain-deuterated POPC and POPS phospholipids, POPC-d4, POPC-d31, POPS-d3, and POPS-d31, were recorded at different temperatures and for various concentrations of the PMP1 fragment. Data obtained from POPS deuterons revealed the formation of specific peptide-POPS complexes giving rise to a slow exchange between free and bound PS lipids, scarcely observed in solid-state NMR studies of lipid-peptide/protein interactions. The stoichiometry of the complex (8 POPS per peptide) was determined and its significance is discussed. The data obtained with headgroup-deuterated POPC were rationalized with a model that integrates the electrostatic perturbation induced by the cationic peptide on the negatively charged membrane interface, and a "spacer" effect due to the intercalation of POPS/PMP1f complexes between choline headgroups.
