Lipid-bilayer nanodiscs provide a stable membrane environment for the study of membrane proteins. In this study, the formation of peptide-based nanodiscs using the anti-inflammatory and tumor-suppressing peptide AEM28 was investigated. The results showed that AEM28 and 2F-based nanodiscs are suitable for studying membrane proteins and can solubilize E. coli cell membranes.
Lipid-bilayer nanodiscs provide a stable, native-like membrane environment for the functional and structural studies of membrane proteins and other membrane-binding molecules. Peptide-based nanodiscs having unique properties are developed for membrane protein studies and other biological applications. While the self-assembly process rendering the formation of peptide-nanodiscs is attractive, it is important to understand the stability and suitability of these nanodisc systems for membrane protein studies. In this study, we investigated the nanodiscs formation by the anti-inflammatory and tumor-suppressing peptide AEM28. AEM28 is a chimeric peptide containing a cationic-rich heparan sulfate proteoglycan- (HSPG)-binding domain from human apolipoprotein E (hapoE) (141-150) followed by the 18A peptide's amino acid sequence. AEM28-based nanodiscs made with different types of lipids were characterized using various biophysical techniques and compared with the nanodiscs formed using 2F or 4F peptides. Variable temperature dynamic light-scattering and P-31 NMR experiments indicated the fusion and size heterogeneity of nanodiscs at high temperatures. The suitability of AEM28 and Ac-18A-NH2- (2F-) based nanodiscs for studying membrane proteins is demonstrated by reconstituting and characterizing a drug-metabolizing enzyme, cytochrome-P450 (CYP450), or the redox complex CYP450-CYP450 reductase. AEM28 and 2F were also tested for their efficacies in solubilizing E. coli membranes to understand the possibility of using them for detergent-free membrane protein isolation. Our experimental results suggest that AEM28 nanodiscs are suitable for studying membrane proteins with a net positive charge, whereas 2F-based nanodiscs are compatible with any membrane proteins and their complexes irrespective of their charge. Furthermore, both peptides solubilized E. coli cell membranes, indicating their use in membrane protein isolation and other applications related to membrane solubilization.
