Default Structural investigations of a human calcitonin-derived carrier peptide in a membrane

Structural investigations of a human calcitonin-derived carrier peptide in a membrane environment by solid-state NMR.

Related Articles Structural investigations of a human calcitonin-derived carrier peptide in a membrane environment by solid-state NMR.

Biochemistry. 2004 Oct 5;43(39):12459-68

Authors: Wagner K, Beck-Sickinger AG, Huster D

Previous studies have shown that human calcitonin (hCT) and its C-terminal fragment hCT(9-32) translocate in nasal epithelium. Moreover, hCT(9-32) was used as a carrier to internalize efficiently the green fluorescent protein, drugs, and plasmid DNA. To understand the mechanism of the membrane crossing process, we determined structural parameters of the carrier peptide hCT(9-32) in a membrane environment using solid-state NMR. For that purpose, we synthesized a multiply labeled hCT(9-32) peptide comprising four positions with fully (15)N- and (13)C-labeled amino acids. Multilamellar vesicle samples containing varying mixing ratios of hCT(9-32) and phospholipids found in the plasma membrane of nasal epithelium were prepared. The typical axially symmetric powder patterns of (31)P NMR spectra confirmed the presence of lamellar bilayers in our samples. The chemical shift anisotropy of the (31)P NMR spectra of the samples in the presence of hCT(9-32) is slightly reduced, revealing weak interaction of the peptide with the lipid headgroups. The peptide does not penetrate the lipid membrane as indicated by very similar (2)H NMR order parameters of the phospholipid fatty acid chains in the absence and presence of the carrier peptide. This membrane topology was confirmed by measurements of paramagnetic enhancement of relaxation rates. The conformation of hCT(9-32) was investigated by cross polarization magic angle spinning NMR methods. All peptide signals were resolved and fully assigned in two-dimensional proton-driven (13)C spin diffusion experiments. The isotropic chemical shifts of (13)CO, (13)Calpha, and (13)Cbeta provide information about the secondary structure of the carrier peptide. The conformation of hCT(9-32) was further corroborated by quantitative phi torsion angle measurements. Two monomeric structural models are consistent with the data: (i) a linear backbone conformation of hCT(9-32) and (ii) an antiparallel beta-sheet structure. These structures are maintained over a wide range of peptide:lipid mixing ratios. No direct indications for fibril formation of hCT(9-32) were found. Dipolar coupling measurements indicate rather high amplitudes of motion of the peptide.
