The dynamics of cellular membranes is primarily determined by lipid species forming a bilayer. Proteins are considered mainly as effector molecules of diverse cellular processes. In addition to large assemblies of proteins, which were found to influence properties of fluid membranes, biological membranes are densely populated by small, highly mobile proteins. However, little is known about the effect of such proteins on the dynamics of membranes. Using synthetic peptides, we demonstrate that transmembrane helices interfere with the mobility of membrane components by trapping lipid acyl chains on their rough surfaces. The effect is more pronounced in the presence of cholesterol, which segregates from the rough surface of helical peptides. This may contribute to the formation or stabilization of membrane heterogeneities. Since roughness is a general property of helical transmembrane segments, our results suggest that, independent of their size or cytoskeleton linkage, integral membrane proteins affect local membrane dynamics and organization.
