    Notes: Summary Solid-state NMR spectroscopy was used to determine the orientations of two amphipathic helical peptides associated with lipid bilayers. A single spectral parameter provides sufficient orientational information for these peptides, which are known, from other methods, to be helical. The orientations of the peptides were determined using the15N chemical shift observed for specifically labeled peptide sites. Magainin, an antibiotic peptide from frog skin, was found to lie in the plane of the bilayer. M2δ, a helical segment of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, was found to span the membrane, perpendicular to the plane of the bilayer. These findings have important implications for the mechanisms of biological functions of these peptides.

    Notes: Summary A three-dimensional 1H chemical shift/1H-15N dipolar coupling/15N chemical shift correlation spectrum was obtained on a sample of specifically 15N-labeled magainin peptides oriented in lipid bilayers between glass plates in a flat-coil probe. The spectrum showed complete resolution of the resonances from two labeled amide sites in all three dimensions. The three orientationally dependent frequencies associated with each resonance enabled the orientation of the peptide planes to be determined relative to the direction of the applied magnetic field. These results demonstrate the feasibility of multiple-pulse spectroscopy in a flat-coil probe, the ability to measure three spectral parameters from each site in a single experiment, and the potential for resolving among many labeled sites in oriented membrane proteins.

    Notes: Solid-state and solution 15N nuclear magnetic resonance experiments on uniformly and specifically 15N labeled coat protein in phospholipid bilayers and in detergent micelles are used to describe the dynamics of the membrane-bound form of the protein. The residues in the N- and C-terminal portions of the coat protein in both phospholipid bilayers and in detergent micelles are mobile, while those in the hydrophobic midsection are immobile. There is evidence for a gradient of mobility in the C-terminal region of the coat protein in micelles; at 25°C only the last two residues are mobile on the 109-Hz timescale, while the last six to eight residues appear to be mobile on slower timescales and highly mobile at higher temperatures. Since all of the C-terminal residues are immobile in the virus particles, the mobility of these residues in the membrane-bound form of the protein may be important for the formation of protein-DNA interactions in the assembly process.
