Sphingomyelin (SM) and cholesterol (Chol) are considered essential for the
formation of lipid rafts; however, the types of molecular interactions involved
in this process, such as intermolecular hydrogen bonding, are not well
understood. Since, unlike other phospholipids, SM is characterized by the
presence of an amide group, it is essential to determine the orientation of the
amide and its order in the lipid bilayers to understand the nature of the
hydrogen bonds in lipid rafts. For this study, 1'-(13)C-2-(15)N-labeled and
2'-(13)C-2-(15)N-labeled SMs were prepared, and the rotational-axis direction and
order parameters of the SM amide in bilayers were determined based on (13)C and
(15)N chemical-shift anisotropies and intramolecular (13)C-(15)N dipole coupling
constants. Results revealed that the amide orientation was minimally affected by
Chol, whereas the order was enhanced significantly in its presence. Thus, Chol
likely promotes the formation of an intermolecular hydrogen-bond network
involving the SM amide without significantly changing its orientation, providing
a higher order to the SM amide. To our knowledge, this study offers new insight
into the significance of the SM amide orientation with regard to molecular
recognition in lipid rafts, and therefore provides a deeper understanding of the
mechanism of their formation.
