Channel-forming colicins are bactericidal proteins that spontaneously insert into hydrophobic lipid bilayers. We have used magic-angle spinning solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to examine the conformational differences between the water-soluble and the membrane-bound states of colicin la channel domain, and to study the effect of bound colicin on lipid bilayer structure and dynamics. We detected C-13 and N-15 isotropic chemical shift differences between the two forms of the protein, which indicate structural changes of the protein due to membrane binding. The Val Calpha signal, unambiguously assigned by double-quantum experiments, gave a 0.6 ppm downfield shift in the isotropic position and a 4 ppm reduction in the anisotropic chemical shift span after membrane binding. These suggest that the a-helices in the membrane-bound colicin adopt more ideal helical torsion angles as they spread onto the membrane. Colicin binding significantly reduced the lipid chain order, as manifested by H-2 quadrupolar couplings. These results are consistent with the model that colicin la channel domain forms an extended helical array at the membrane-water interface upon membrane binding. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
