Abstract

MsbA is the ABC transporter for lipid A and is found in the inner membranes of Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli. Without MsbA present, bacterial cells accumulate a toxic amount of lipid A within their inner membranes. A crystal structure of MsbA was recently obtained that provides an excellent starting point for functional dynamics studies in membranes [Chang, and Roth (2001) Science 293, 1793-1800]. Although a structure of MsbA is now available, many questions remain concerning its mechanism of transport. Site-directed spin labeling (SDSL) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is a powerful approach for characterizing local areas within a large protein structure in addition to detecting and following changes in local structure due to dynamic interactions within a protein. The quaternary structure of the resting state of the MsbA homodimer reconstituted into lipid membranes has been evaluated by SDSL EPR spectroscopy and chemical cross-linking techniques. SDSL and cross-linking results are consistent with the controversial resting state conformation of the MsbA homodimer found in the crystal structure, with the tips of the transmembrane helices forming a dimer interface. The position of MsbA in the m...Continue Reading
