Outline of Final Research Achievements

The specific lipids binding to membrane protein play a crucial role in membrane protein organization and function, resulting in a very important to elucidate the detailed mechanism of its specific lipid recognition. Membrane protein is crystallized after solubilization by detergents, although this treatment often disrupts innate structures and functions. Here we focused on crystallization of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) using various lipid bicelles as membrane mimicking systems. Bicells are small bilayer disks that form in lipid / amphiphile mixtures. Eight lipid bicelles were crystallized by mixing bR, resulting successfully in formation of bR-bicelle crystals. X-ray crystal structure analyses indicated that heavy atom labeled lipids are successfully incorporated into the bR-bicelle crystal, successfully interacting with bR. Our bicelle crystallization technique may be applicable for structurally unknown membrane proteins.
