DnaA protein, the initiator protein of E. coli chromosomal replication, can be rejuvenated from an inactive ADP form to active ATP-DnaA protein by acidic phospholipids in a fluid bilayer. Cross-linking studies with the photoactivable phospholipid analog 1-O-hexadecanoyl-2-O-[9-[[[2-[125I]iodo-4-(trifluoromethyl-3H- diazirin -3-yl)benzyl]oxy]carbonyl]nonanoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine reveal insertion of DnaA protein into the hydrophobic region of the bilayer; this insertion is accompanied by membrane-mediated dissociation of the tightly bound allosteric nucleotides ADP and ATP. Photolabeling of DnaA protein occurred with membrane properties that resembled those needed for reactivation of ADP-DnaA protein; efficient labeling of DnaA protein was observed only when the lipid analog was incorporated into anionic vesicles and the temperature during treatment was above the gel to liquid crystalline phase transition. Predominant hydrophobic photolabeling was localized within a single region of DnaA protein, a region that contains putative amphipathic helices and has been shown to contain information essential for functional interaction with membranes.
