Presentation Transcript

  1. Modelling of Protein-Lipid Interactions Lea Thøgersen PUMPKIN Opfølgningsmøde February 24, 2009

  2. Outline • A PUMPKIN Postdoc • Work in Progress • Future Work

  3. A PUMPKIN Postdoc • Bachelor in Chemistry and Molecular Biology • PhD in Theoretical Chemistry (2005) • Method development • Software development • Small molecules • 2Y Postdoc from LundbeckFonden (2005-8) • Bioinformatics Research Center (BiRC) • Membrane Proteins – new insight via MD simulations • Antimicrobial peptides – interaction with lipid bilayer. Collaboration with NMR (inSPIN) • PUMPKIN Postdoc since August 2008 • Pumps are fascinating systems, with all kinds of interesting modelling aspects, which have not yet been touched • Fantastic setup of extraordinary insights and years of experience

  4. Membrane Proteins

  5. Protein-Lipid Interactions • Lipid is the new water • Annular shell (like solvation shell) • Generally not structure specific • Non-annular lipids • Acting as co-factors • Affect function • Potentially structure specific

  6. SERCA – Lipid Interaction • Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase • Membrane position • First time annular lipids observed in high-res X-ray • Thapsigargin – lipid mimicking? • SR membrane • Low concentrations of sterols and sphingolipids • X-ray membrane • Native • Detergent C12E8, lipid:detergent 7:16

  7. All-Atom MD Study • E2 form (Thapsigargin-like inhibitor removed from the structure). • No Ca2+ ions, 0.2M K++Cl- O O +2 SAPC DOPC DOPC O O O POPC O O O O DMPC -2 MPPC O

  8. MD X-ray X-ray lipids in orange POPC – TRP shown

  9. SERCA Position in Bilayer DMPC MPPC POPC DOPC SAPC A.G. Lee, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 1612 (2003) 1-40

  10. Lys972 and Arg63 POPC SAPC

  11. How to Adapt α Within 8 Å

  12. Thapsigargin Pocket TM5 TM3 TM7

  13. Future Plans • Model lipid-protein setup with detergent • Develop “shape” model to describe ms dynamics of ATPase – lipid system
