Jost Institute of Molecular Biology and Department of Chemistry, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403 Received August 2, 1985 abstract: The aim of this study was to clarify the possible origins of the motion-restricted electron spin resonance(ESR) spectral componentobserved in membranes. For this purpose, a phospholipid photospin-label was synthesized, characterized, and used to study lipid-protein interactions inbeef heart cytochrome c oxidase. The probe was designed with a nitroaryl azide incorporated in the phospholipid head group, and a spin-label on the sn-2 side chain, and was radiolabeled. The resulting molecule, l-palmitoyl-2-(14-proxyl [2-3H] stearoyl)-s «-glycero-3-phospho-iV-(4-azido-3-nitrophenyl) ethanolamine, was stable under subdued light and during theprocedures required to reconstitute cytochrome c oxidase in phospholipid bilayers. Upon photolysis, the photo-spin-label reacted with the protein in high yields (50% attached). There was no detectable destruction of the spin-label. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of cytochrome c oxidase after reaction with the photo-spin-label showed highest levels of attachment to bands I, III, and VII, with some labeling of other bands. The labeling pattern demonstrated a distribution of attachment sites, which was needed for the spin-labeling studies. ESR spectra of the attached labels at 25 C indicated a constant fraction of motion-restricted lipid chains, independent of the lipid to protein ratio. In contrast, a spin-labeled phosphatidylcholine and the prephotolyzed photo-spin-label, both free to diffuse in the bilayer, exhibited behavior in agreement with the multiple equilibria binding model. These results, as well as data obtained with membranes frozen at-196 C, show how severalsituations that lead to a motion-restricted ESR line shape can be distinguished. This study provides additional evidence that the fraction of lipids normally incontact with protein, and not aggregation artifacts, accounts for the observed motion-restricted component of ESR spectra of reconstituted cytochrome c oxidase in phospholipid bilayers.
