Alan J. Deese, Edward A. Dratz, F. W. Dahlquist, and Michael R. Paddy* abstract: Rhodopsin, prepared free of native lipid, was re-constituted with two unsaturated and specifically deuterated phosphatidylcholines: the minimally unsaturated 1-(16, 16, 16-trideuteriopalmitoyl)-2-palmitoleoyl-jvt-glycero-3-phosphocholine [(CD3-16: 0)(16: 1) PC] and a highly unsatu-rated phosphatidylcholine typical of that found in native rod outer segment (ROS) membranes, 1-(16, 16, 16-trideuteriopalmitoyl)-2-docosahexaenoyl-jn-glycero-3-phosphocholine [(CD3-16: 0)(22: 6) PC]. Deuterium magnetic resonance(2H NMR) spectra of these membranes and dispersions of the lipids alone were obtained at 23.0 MBz by using the quad-rupolar echo technique. The apparent quadrupolar splittings are slightly less and the spectral features are somewhat broadened in the presence of the protein. Moment analyses of these spectra show that in the fluid phase the presence of rhodopsin at near physiological concentrations (1: 1 w/w) does not change the average orientational order of either lipid. Rhodopsin does affect the structure of the bilayer, however, by causing an increase in the spread of the distribution of orientational order parameters about the average. Several interesting differences are observed in the phase behavior of the two lipids in the absence of rhodopsin. The orientational order of (CD3-16: 0)(16: 1) PC and (CD3-16: 0)(22: 6) PC is markedly different in the phase transition region, even though these two lipids have surprisingly similar phase transition temperatures. The 22: 6-containing lipid exhibits a relatively large hysteresis (8-9 C) in itsphase transition, while no hysteresis is observed for (CD3-16: 0)(16: 1) PC. Further, the phase transition for (CD3-16: 0)(22: 6) PC occurs over a much smaller temperature range than thatfor (CD3-16: 0)(16: 1) PC. Both the hysteresis andsharpness of the phase transition suggest a higher degree of cooperativity in the 22: 6 lipid than in the 16: 1 lipid. The presence of rhodopsin eliminates this hysteresis and sharp phase transition of the (CD3-16: 0)-(22: 6) PC and produces values of the average orientational order similar to those observed for the (CD3-16: 0)(16: 1)-PC/rhodopsin reconstituted membranes, which are unchanged from the 16: 1 lipid alone. Spin-lattice (7,) and quadrupolar echo decay (7^) relaxation times were measured as a function of temperature for the lipids with and without rhodopsin. For all of thesamples, 72e is very sensitive to the gel to liquid crystal phase transition, while 7t is relatively insensitive. In the fluid phase, rhodopsin decreases 7t by approximately the same amount (about2-fold) for both lipids while producing a 2-fold greater decrease in 7^ in the membranes reconstituted with the 22: 6 lipid as opposed to the membranes prepared with the 16: 1 lipid. This implies that rhodopsin differentially alters low-frequency reorientational motions of the two lipids. Overall, these results are consistent with our previous, 13C, and 31P NMR studies of native ROS membranes and ROS lipids: rhodopsin does not produce a long-lived, highly ordered population of lipids. e vertebrate retinal rod outer segment (ROS) 1 disk membrane is the site of visual excitation. In these membranes, the chromophoric protein rhodopsin comprises at least 95% of the integral membrane protein (Krebs & Kuhn, 1977).Rhodopsin is deeply embedded in the (ROS) disk membrane bilayer (Dratz et al., 1979), and the polypeptide chain spans the membrane (Fung & Hubbell, 1978; Nemes et al., 1980). The fatty acids in the ROS membrane phospholipids are strikingly polyunsaturated; in cattle ROS, about 50% of the
