الملخص
The styrene–maleic acid (SMA) copolymers enable a detergent-free extraction of membrane proteins from
lipid bilayers yielding stable water-soluble nanocontainers with lipid-encased proteins. Here, we
demonstrate the ability of the SMA copolymer to extract a complex of interacting membrane proteins
from proteoliposomes, namely the archaeal sensory rhodopsin II from Natronomonas pharaonis, NpSRII,
in complex with its transducer, NpHtrII. The NpSRII/NpHtrII complexes retained their structural integrity
within SMA lipid particles as revealed by diverse biophysical techniques. Pulse electron paramagnetic
resonance data showed the SMA-encased NpSRII/NpHtrII complexes as native-like 2 : 2 dimers with
a distance between NpSRII sites 159 according to the “V”-shaped conformation found in a crystal structure.
