Despite the importance of signal transduction pathways at membrane surfaces, there have been few means of investigating their molecular mechanisms based on the structural information of membrane-bound proteins. We applied solid state NMR as a novel method to obtain structural information about the phospholipase C-delta1 (PLC-delta1) pleckstrin homology (PH) domain at the lipid bilayer surface. NMR spectra of the alanine residues in the vicinity of the beta5/beta6 loop in the PH domain revealed changes in local conformations due to the membrane localization of the protein. We propose that these conformational changes originate from a hydrophobic interaction between the amphipathic alpha-helix located in the beta5/beta6 loop and the hydrophobic layer of the membrane and contribute to the membrane binding affinity, interdomain interactions and intermolecular interactions of PLC-delta1.
