The insertion of the outer membrane protein A (OmpA) into Lipid bilayers was studied by Limited proteolysis, polarized Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. In the native state, OmpA is thought to form a barrel of eight antiparallel beta-strands. For the present study, it was isolated in an,unfolded form, purified, and exposed to preformed vesicles of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine (POPC), dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC), dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), and three phospholipids that were brominated in different positions of their sn-2 chains (4,5-BrPC, 9,10-BrPC, and 11,12-BrPC). Limited proteolysis revealed two membrane-bound forms of OmpA, namely an ''adsorbed'' (35 kDa) and an ''inserted'' (30 kDa) form [Surrey, T., and Jahnig, F. (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 89, 7457-7461]. Which form was found after membrane binding and refolding depended. on the Lipids used and on the temperature. Polarized attenuated total reflection (ATR)-FTIR spectra were recorded with OmpA bound to germanium-supported bilayers in both forms. The position of the amide I' band indicated quite large fractions of beta-structure of OmpA in both membrane-bound forms (35-45% in the adsorbed form and 45-55% in the inserted form). Measurements of the linear dichroism of the amide I' bands in the inserted form are consistent with an antiparallel beta-barrel in which the strands are inclined at about 36 degrees from the membrane normal. The average angle of the beta-strands to the bilayer normal is likely larger in the 35 kDa form than in the inserted form. The extent of quenching of the tryptophan fluorescence in the presence of brominated lipids depended on the position of the bromines in the fatty acyl chain. In the inserted form, 4,5-BrPC quenched the fluorescence most efficiently, which indicates an average location of the tryptophan residues close to the bilayer surface. In the 35 kDa form, tryptophan fluorescence was most efficiently quenched by 9,10-BrPC, which indicates a partial insertion of these residues in the hydrophobic part of the bilayer. Fluorescence spectroscopy in the presence of the soluble quencher acrylamide showed that after binding to the membrane the five tryptophan residues of OmpA are protected from the aqueous environment to a similar extent in both forms.
