AbstractMembrane proteins are one of the most challenging and attractive objects in modern structural biology, as they are targets for the majority of medicines. However, studies of membrane proteins are hindered by several obstacles, including their low ability to crystallize, highly dynamic behavior of some of their domains, and need for membrane-like environment. Although solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a very powerful technique of structural biology in terms of the amount of provided data, it imposes several limitations on the object under investigation, with the main constraint being related to the size of the object. For this reason, the membrane mimetic has to form particles of small size and simultaneously to properly simulate the bilayer membrane to be applicable for solution NMR spectroscopy. Here we review the recent advances in the field of membrane mimetics for solution NMR studies, discuss the advantages and drawbacks of specific membrane-like environments, and formulate the criteria for the selection of proper environment for a particular membrane protein or domain.

Ubiquitin (Ub) serves as a signal for clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) by engaging Ub-binding proteins with the internalization apparatus. Ub is a versatile internalization signal because it can be added to a wide variety of membrane proteins, expanding the capacity of cells to use a variety of regulatory mechanisms to specify the conditions under which a particular protein will be internalized. Several candidate adaptors that can recognize ubiquitinated membrane proteins have been identified that work in endocytic processes that are both clathrin-dependent and independent. These include Epsin and Eps15, which bind and help sort Ub-cargo into internalization sites. Here we identify additional components of the endocytosis apparatus that bind Ub. The N-terminal ANTH domains found in CALM, AP180, HIP1R and yeast Sla2 all bind monoubiquitin with micromolar affinity. ANTH domains belong to a larger superfamily of domains including ENTH and VHS domains, many of which have Ub-binding regions outside of their VHS/ENTH/ANTH domains that enable them to mediate Ub-dependent sorting events throughout the cell. Solution NMR studies combined with a crystal structure of the CALM ANTH domain in a complex with Ub show that Ub binds to a C-terminal region of the ANTH domain that is not present in ENTH domains. Combined loss of Ub-binding by ANTH-domain proteins and other Ub-binding domains within the internalization apparatus of yeast caused defects in the Ub-dependent internalization of the GPCR Ste2 but had no effect on internalization of Ste2 via other internalization signals. These studies define new components of the internalization machinery that work collectively with Epsin and Eps15 to specify recognition of Ub as an internalization signal.
