Abstract

Understanding how membrane composition influences the dynamics and function of transmembrane proteins is crucial for the comprehensive elucidation of cellular signaling mechanisms and the development of targeted therapeutics. In this study, we employed all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the impact of different membrane compositions on the conformational dynamics of the NKG2A/CD94/HLA-E immune receptor complex, a key negative regulator of natural killer cell cytotoxic activity. Our results reveal significant variations in the behavior of the immune complex structure across five different membrane compositions, which include POPC, POPA, DPPC, and DLPC phospholipids, and a mixed POPC/cholesterol system. These variations are particularly evident in the intracellular domain of NKG2A, manifested as changes in mobility, tyrosine exposure, and interdomain communication. Additionally, we found that a large concentration of negative charge at the surface of the POPA-based membrane greatly increased the number of contacts with lipid molecules and significantly decreased the exposure of intracellular NKG2A ITIM regions to water molecules, thus likely halting the signal transduction process. Furthermore, the DPPC model with a membrane possessing a high transition temperature in a gel-like state became curved, affecting the exposure of one ITIM region. The decreased membrane thickness in the DPLC model caused a significant transmembrane domain tilt, altering the linker protrusion angle and potentially disrupting the hydrogen bonding network in the extracellular domain. Overall, our findings highlight the importance of considering membrane composition in the analysis of transmembrane protein dynamics and in the exploration of novel strategies for the external modulation of their signaling pathways.

摘要

了解膜组成如何影响跨膜蛋白的动力学和功能,对于全面阐明细胞信号传导机制以及开发靶向治疗方法至关重要。在本研究中,我们采用全原子分子动力学模拟来研究不同膜组成对NKG2A/CD94/HLA-E免疫受体复合物构象动力学的影响,该复合物是自然杀伤细胞细胞毒性活性的关键负调节因子。我们的结果揭示了免疫复合物结构在五种不同膜组成中的行为存在显著差异,这五种膜组成包括POPC、POPA、DPPC和DLPC磷脂以及一个混合的POPC/胆固醇系统。这些差异在NKG2A的细胞内结构域中尤为明显,表现为流动性、酪氨酸暴露和结构域间通讯的变化。此外,我们发现基于POPA的膜表面大量负电荷极大地增加了与脂质分子的接触数量,并显著降低了细胞内NKG2A ITIM区域对水分子的暴露,从而可能阻断信号转导过程。此外,具有高转变温度的凝胶状状态膜的DPPC模型发生弯曲,影响了一个ITIM区域的暴露。DPLC模型中膜厚度的减小导致跨膜结构域显著倾斜,改变了连接子突出角度并可能破坏细胞外结构域中的氢键网络。总体而言,我们的研究结果突出了在分析跨膜蛋白动力学以及探索其信号通路外部调节新策略时考虑膜组成的重要性。
