Use of a new label, (13)==(18)O, in the determination of a structural model of phospholamban in a lipid bilayer. Spatial restraints resolve the ambiguity arising from interpretations of mutagenesis data.

A structural model of pentameric phospholamban ( Plb) in a lipid bilayer has been derived using a combination of experimental data, obtained from ATR-FTIR site-directed dichroism, and the implementation of the resulting restraints during a molecular dynamics simulation. Plb (residues 24-52) has been synthesised incorporating a new label, 1-(13)C==(18)O, at residues 42 and 43. We have not only determined the tilt of the helices, 10(+/-6) degrees, but also the relative orientation of the transmembrane segments, with an omega angle of -32(+/-10) degrees for L42. This angle is taken as zero in the direction of the helix tilt. Plb is a simple test case where site-directed dichroism has been applied to resolve the indeterminacy arising from the mutagenesis data available. The results presented point specifically to a single structural model for Plb.[1]
