Catalytically important motions of the Ca-ATPase, modulated by the physical properties of surrounding membrane phospholipids, have been suggested to be rate-limiting under physiological conditions. To identify the nature of the structural coupling between the Ca-ATPase and membrane phospholipids, we have investigated the functional and structural effects resulting from the incorporation of the lysophospholipid 1-myristoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (LPC) into native sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membranes. Nonsolubilizing concentrations of LPC abolish changes in fluorescence signals associated with either intrinsic or extrinsic chromophores that monitor normal conformational transitions accompanying calcium activation of the Ca-ATPase. There are corresponding decreases in the rates of calcium transport coupled to ATP hydrolysis, suggesting that LPC may increase conformational barriers associated with catalytic function. Fluorescence anisotropy measurements of the lipid analogue 1-(4-trimethylammoniumphenyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (TMA-DPH) partitioned into SR membranes indicate that LPC does not significantly modify lipid acyl chain rotational dynamics, suggesting differences in headgroup conformation between LPC and diacylglycerol phosphatidylcholines. Complementary measurements using phosphorescence anisotropy of erythrosin isothiocyanate at Lys464 on the Ca-ATPase provide a measure of the dynamic structure of the phosphorylation domain, and indicate that LPC restricts the amplitude of rotational motion. These results suggest a structural linkage between the cytosolic phosphorylation domain and the conformation of membrane phospholipid headgroups. Thus, changes in membrane phospholipid composition can modulate membrane surface properties and affect catalytically important motions of the Ca-ATPase in a manner that suggests a role for LPC generated during signal transduction.
