abstract = {Membrane proteins act as a central interface between the
extracellular environment and the intracellular response and
as such represent one of the most important classes of drug
targets. The characterization of the molecular properties of
integral membrane proteins, such as topology and interdomain
interaction, is key to a fundamental understanding of their
function. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and force
spectroscopy have the intrinsic capabilities of
investigating these properties in a near-native setting.
However, atomic force spectroscopy of membrane proteins is
traditionally carried out in a crystalline setup.
Alternatively, model membrane systems, such as tethered
bilayer membranes, have been developed for surface-dependent
techniques. While these setups can provide a more native
environment, data analysis may be complicated by the
normally found statistical orientation of the reconstituted
protein in the model membrane. We have developed a model
membrane system that enables the study of membrane proteins
in a defined orientation by single-molecule force
spectroscopy. Our approach is demonstrated using cell-free
expressed bacteriorhodopsin coupled to a quartz glass
surface in a defined orientation through a protein anchor
and reconstituted inside an artificial membrane system. This
approach offers an effective way to study membrane proteins
in a planar lipid bilayer. It can be easily transferred to
all membrane proteins that possess a suitable tag and can be
reconstituted into a lipid bilayer. In this respect, we
anticipate that this technique may contribute important
information on structure, topology, and intra- and
intermolecular interactions of other seven-transmembrane
helical receptors.},
