Structure of membrane diacylglycerol kinase in lipid bilayers.

ABSTRACT: Diacylglycerol kinase (DgkA) is a small integral membrane protein, responsible for the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of diacylglycerol to phosphatidic acid. Its structures reported in previous studies, determined in detergent micelles by solution NMR and in monoolein cubic phase by X-ray crystallography, differ significantly. These differences point to the need to validate these detergent-based structures in phospholipid bilayers. Here, we present a well-defined homo-trimeric structure of DgkA in phospholipid bilayers determined by magic angle spinning solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy, using an approach combining intra-, inter-molecular paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE)-derived distance restraints and CS-Rosetta calculations. The DgkA structure determined in lipid bilayers is d
