We have used isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) to study the thermodynamics of Triton X-100 (TX-100), deoxycholate and decyl octaethylene glycol (C10EO8) penetration into bilayers composed of native (ESM) and hydrogenated egg yolk sphingomyelin (DHSM). Light scattering measurements were used to study the point of saturation (Re,sat) and the onset of solubilization of membranes by the detergents. We found that DHSM bilayers at 25 °C were much more resistant to detergent partitioning (lower K) and gave higher reaction enthalpies (ΔH) for all three detergents compared to the ESM bilayer system. Because DHSM lacks double bonds (Δ4trans and some cis bonds as well), attractive acyl chain interactions are favored in membranes of this lipid class. The high stability and cohesion of DHSM in membranes could be a crucial functional property of this lipid as it is enriched in eye lens membranes. 相似文献

The insolubility of lipids in detergents is a useful method for probing the structure of biological membranes. Insolubility in detergents like Triton X-100 is observed in lipid bilayers that exist in physical states in which lipid packing is tight. The Triton X-100-insoluble lipid fraction obtained after detergent extraction of eukaryotic cells is composed of detergent-insoluble membranes rich in sphingolipids and cholesterol. These insoluble membranes appear to arise from sphingolipid- and cholesterol-rich membrane domains (rafts) in the tightly packed liquid ordered state. Because the degree of lipid insolubility depends on the stability of lipid-lipid interactions relative to lipid-detergent interactions, the quantitative relationship between rafts and detergent-insoluble membranes is complex, and can depend on lipid composition, detergent and temperature. Nevertheless, when used conservatively detergent insolubility is an invaluable tool for studying cellular rafts and characterizing their composition. 相似文献

The drug retention and circulation lifetime properties of liposomal nanoparticles (LN) containing dihydrosphingomyelin (DHSM) have been investigated. It is shown that replacement of egg sphingomyelin (ESM) by DHSM in sphingomyelin/cholesterol (Chol) (55/45; mol/mol) LN results in substantially improved drug retention properties both in vitro and in vivo. In the case of liposomal formulations of vincristine, for example, the half-times for drug release (T(1/2)) were approximately 3-fold longer for DHSM/Chol LN as compared to ESM/Chol LN, both in vitro and in vivo. Further increases in T(1/2) could be achieved by increasing the drug-to-lipid ratio of the liposomal vincristine formulations. In addition, DHSM/Chol LN also exhibit improved circulation lifetimes in vivo as compared to ESM/Chol LN. For example, the half-time for LN clearance (Tc(1/2)) at a low lipid dose (15 micromol lipid/kg, corresponding to 8 mg lipid/kg body weight) in mice was 3.8 h for ESM/Chol LN compared to 6 h for DHSM/Chol LN. In addition, it is also shown that DHSM/Chol LN exhibit much longer half-times for vincristine release as compared to LN with the "Stealth" lipid composition. It is anticipated that DHSM/Chol LN will prove useful as drug delivery vehicles due to their excellent drug retention and circulation lifetime properties. 相似文献

Detergents are amphiphilic molecules widely used to solubilize biological membranes and/or extract their components. Nevertheless, because of the complex composition of biomembranes, their solubilization by detergents has not been systematically studied. In this review, we address the solubilization of erythrocytes, which provide a relatively simple, robust and easy to handle biomembrane, and of biomimetic models, to stress the role of the lipid composition on the solubilization process. First, results of a systematic study on the solubilization of human erythrocyte membranes by different series of non-ionic (Triton, CxEy, Brij, Renex, Tween), anionic (bile salts) and zwitterionic (ASB, CHAPS) detergents are shown. Such quantitative approach allowed us to propose Re sat—the effective detergent/lipid molar ratio in the membrane for the onset of hemolysis as a new parameter to classify the solubilization efficiency of detergents. Second, detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) obtained as a result of the partial solubilization of erythrocytes by TX-100, C12E8 and Brij detergents are examined. DRMs were characterized by their cholesterol, sphingolipid and specific proteins content, as well as lipid packing. Finally, lipid bilayers of tuned lipid composition forming liposomes were used to investigate the solubilization process of membranes of different compositions/phases induced by Triton X-100. Optical microscopy of giant unilamellar vesicles revealed that pure phospholipid membranes are fully solubilized, whereas the presence of cholesterol renders the mixture partially or even fully insoluble, depending on the composition. Additionally, Triton X-100 induced phase separation in raft-like mixtures, and selective solubilization of the fluid phase only. 相似文献

Most of the studies on the solubilization of model membranes conducted thus far involved model membranes made of liquid-crystalline phospholipids. Relatively little is known on the influence of temperature and of the phase of the lipid bilayers on their solubilization by detergents. The aim of the present study was to gain knowledge about the temperature and phase dependence of the solubilization of phospholipid bilayers by the non-ionic detergent Triton X-100 (TR). Detailed investigation of the kinetics of the solubilization of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), as well as of palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC) by TR at different temperatures reveals that: (i) solubilization of DPPC is a relatively slow process, especially below Tm. This means that in order to prevent misleading conclusions it is important to monitor the solubilization after a steady state is established. (ii) Both the steady state structure and size of DPPC/TR aggregates and the kinetics of solubilization depend on temperature. (iii) The TR concentration required for solubilization of POPC bilayers is an increasing function of temperature, although no phase change of bilayers occurs in the studied temperature range. (iv) Detailed studies of the temperature-induced changes of the aggregates present in DPPC/TR or POPC/TR mixtures suggest that the state of aggregation at any temperature above 23 degrees C represents equilibrium. By contrast, for DPPC/TR mixtures at 4 degrees C all the processes are very slow, which complicates the interpretation of results obtained through the common practice of studying "rafts" by investigating detergent-resistant membranes. 相似文献

It has been repeatedly observed that lipid bilayers in the gel phase are solubilized by lower concentrations of Triton X-100, at least within certain temperature ranges, or other nonionic detergents than bilayers in the fluid phase. In a previous study, we showed that detergent partition coefficients into the lipid bilayer were the same for the gel and the fluid phases. In this contribution, turbidity, calorimetry, and 31P-NMR concur in showing that bilayers in the gel state (at least down to 13-20°C below the gel-fluid transition temperature) become saturated with detergent at lower detergent concentrations than those in the fluid state, irrespective of temperature. The different saturation may explain the observed differences in solubilization. 相似文献

The action of detergents in the isolation of detergent-resistant membrane fractions from rat brain is reported. Triton X-100 treatment of whole rat brain homogenate at 4 degrees C produced detergent-resistant membranes with a density of 1.07g/ml compared with Brij96 where the density of the membrane was only 1.05g/ml. The DRM fractions isolated using Triton X-100 are considerably heavier than those isolated from homogenates treated with Brij96. The major polar lipid composition of DRMs derived from Brij96 treated homogenates have a higher proportion of aminophospholipids compared with choline phospholipids than Triton X-100 derived DRMs; this may indicate that DRMs from Brij96 treated homogenates are more closely related to the parent membrane in lipid composition. Solubilization by Triton X-100 at higher temperatures resulted in the appearance of a second detergent-resistant membrane fraction distinctly lighter in density than the membrane recovered at density 1.07g/ml. Analysis of phospholipid composition of the brain homogenate during detergent treatment for up to 30min at 37 degrees C showed a decreasing proportion of sphingomyelin. Treatment of homogenates at 37 degrees C appears to activate phospholipases/sphingomyelinases that may alter the lipid content of isolated DRMs. The presence of K+/Mg2+ with Brij96 treatment results in DRM fractions with significantly thicker bilayers and of larger vesicle diameter than DRMs isolated from either Triton X-100 or Brij96 treated homogenates in the absence of cations. 相似文献

The effect of detergents on giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) composed of phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin and cholesterol and containing liquid-ordered phase (l(o)) domains was investigated. Such domains have been used as models for the lipid rafts present in biological membranes. The studied detergents included lyso-phosphatidylcholine, the product of phospholipase A2 activity, as well as Triton X-100 and Brij 98, i.e. detergents used to isolate lipid rafts as DRMs. Local external injection of each of the three detergents at subsolubilizing amounts promoted exclusion of l(o) domains from the GUV as small vesicles. The budding and fission processes associated with this vesiculation were interpreted as due to two distinct effects of the detergent. In this framework, the budding is caused by the initial incorporation of the detergent in the outer membrane leaflet which increases the spontaneous curvature of the bilayer. The fission is related to the inverted-cone molecular shape of the detergent which stabilizes positively curved structures, e.g. pores involved in vesicle separation. On the other hand, we observed in GUVs neither domain formation nor domain coalescence to be induced by the addition of detergents. This supports the idea that isolation of DRM from biological membranes by detergent-induced extraction is not an artifact. It is also suggested that the physico-chemical mechanisms involved in l(o) domain budding and fission might play a role in rafts-dependant endocytosis in cells. 相似文献

Transient lateral microdomains or lipid rafts play important roles in many physiological membrane-mediated cell processes. Detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) are good models for the study of lipid rafts. Here we report that DRMs can be obtained by treating human erythrocytes with the nonionic detergents Triton X-100 or octaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12E8) at 37°C, and by treatment at 4°C of cholesterol-depleted erythrocytes. Electron paramagnetic resonance with spin labels inserted at different membrane depths (5- and 16-doxyl stearic acids, 5-SASL and 16-SASL) were used to measure the order parameter (S) of the cell membranes and DRMs. We previously reported significantly higher S values in DRMs with respect to intact erythrocyte membranes. Here we show that higher S values were still measurable in DRMs prepared from intact erythrocytes at 37°C, or from cholesterol-depleted cells at 4°C, for both detergents. For 5-SASL only, increased S values were measured in 4°C DRMs obtained from cholesterol-depleted versus intact erythrocytes. Flotillin-2, a protein marker of lipid rafts, was found in DRMs from intact cells in trace amounts but it was sensitively increased in C12E8 DRMs prepared at 4°C from cholesterol-depleted erythrocytes, while the membrane-skeletal proteins spectrin and actin were excluded from both Triton X-100 and C12E8 DRMs. However, contrary to the 4°C treatment results, flotillin-2 and stomatin were not resistant to Triton X-100 and C12E8 treatment at physiological temperature. The role of cholesterol in DRMs formation is discussed and the results presented provide further support for the use of C12E8 to the study of DRMs. 相似文献

Differential solubilization of inner plasma membrane leaflet components by Lubrol WX and Triton X-100 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A commonly-used method for analysing raft membrane domains is based on their resistance to extraction by non-ionic detergents at 4 degrees C. However, the selectivity of different detergents in defining raft membrane domains has been questioned. We have compared the lipid composition of detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) obtained after Triton X-100 or Lubrol WX extraction in MDCK cells in order to understand the differential effect of these detergents on membranes and their selectivity in solubilizing or not proteins. Both Lubrol and Triton DRMs were enriched with cholesterol over the lysate, thus exhibiting characteristics consistent with the properties of membrane rafts. However, the two DRM fractions differed considerably in the ratio between lipids of the inner and outer membrane leaflets. Lubrol DRMs were especially enriched with phosphatidylethanolamine, including polyunsaturated species with long fatty acyl chains. Lubrol and Triton DRMs also differed in the amount of raft transmembrane proteins and raft proteins anchored to the cytoplasmic leaflet. Our results suggest that the inner side of rafts is enriched with phosphatidylethanolamine and cholesterol, and is more solubilized by Triton X-100 than by Lubrol WX. 相似文献

Effect of water-soluble detergents, such as triton X-100, saponin and trimethyl octadecylammonium bromide on the concentration of black spots, tension and stability of black lipid membranes was studied. Changes in mechanic stability of the lipid bilayer are discovered, which are in a good correlation with the litic effect of true detergents on cell membranes. 相似文献

The molecular mechanism of the solubilisation of phospholipid bilayers by nonionic detergents was studied by turbidity changes, carboxyfluorescein fluorescence dequenching, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy of DPH, lifetime measurements, ANS binding and 31P-NMR. Particular attention has been paid to the effective detergent-to-lipid ratio in the lipid phase. The disturbance of the bilayer arrangement varies considerably for various detergents depending on the hydrophilic and lipophilic parts of the molecule. Small amounts of detergents with low CMC (e.g. Triton X-100) can even induce an optimisation of packing of the lipid molecules. 相似文献

The increased use of plant sterols as cholesterol-lowering agents warrants further research on the possible effects of plant sterols in membranes. In this study, the effects of the incorporation of cholesterol, campesterol, beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol in phospholipid bilayers were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), resonance energy transfer (RET) between trans parinaric acid (tPA) and 2-(6-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino)hexanoyl-1-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (NBD-PC), and Triton X-100-induced solubilization. The phospholipids used were 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), D-erythro-N-palmitoyl-sphingomyelin (PSM), and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC). In DSC experiments, it was demonstrated that the sterols differed in their effect on the melting temperatures of both the sterol-poor and the sterol-rich domains in DPPC and PSM bilayers. The plant sterols gave rise to lower temperatures of both transitions, when compared with cholesterol. The plant sterols also resulted in lower transition temperatures, in comparison with cholesterol, when sterol-containing DPPC and PSM bilayers were investigated by RET. In the detergent solubilization experiments, the total molar ratio between Triton X-100 and POPC at the onset of solubilization (R(t,sat)) was higher for bilayers containing plant sterols, in comparison with membranes containing cholesterol. Taken together, the observations presented in this study indicate that campesterol, beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol interacted less favorably than cholesterol with the phospholipids, leading to measurable differences in their domain properties. 相似文献

Although different detergents can give rise to detergent-resistant membranes of different composition, it is unclear whether this represents domain heterogeneity in the original membrane. We compared the mechanism of action of five detergents on supported lipid bilayers composed of equimolar sphingomyelin, cholesterol, and dioleoylphosphatidylcholine imaged by atomic force microscopy, and on raft and nonraft marker proteins in live cells imaged by confocal microscopy. There was a marked correlation between the detergent solubilization of the cell membrane and that of the supported lipid bilayers. In both systems Triton X-100 and CHAPS (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate) distinguished between the nonraft liquid-disordered (ld) and raft liquid ordered (lo) lipid phases by selectively solubilizing the ld phase. A higher concentration of Lubrol was required, and not all the ld phase was solubilized. The solubilization by Brij 96 occurred by a two-stage mechanism that initially resulted in the solubilization of some ld phase and then progressed to the solubilization of both ld and lo phases simultaneously. Octyl glucoside simultaneously solubilized both lo and ld phases. These data show that the mechanism of membrane solubilization is unique to an individual detergent. Our observations have significant implications for using different detergents to isolate membrane rafts from biological systems. 相似文献

The present study explores intermediate stages in detergent solubilization of liposomes and Ca2+-ATPase membranes by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and medium-sized ( approximately C12) nonionic detergents. In all cases detergent partitioning in the membranes precedes cooperative binding and solubilization, which is facilitated by exposure to detergent micelles. Nonionic detergents predominantly interact with the lipid component of Ca2+-ATPase membranes below the CMC (critical micellar concentration), whereas SDS extracts Ca2+-ATPase before solubilization of lipid. At the transition to cooperative binding, n-dodecyl octaethylene glycol monoether (C12E8), Triton X-100, and dodecyldimethylamine oxide induce fusion of small unilamellar liposomes to larger vesicles before solubilization. Solubilization of Ca2+-ATPase membranes is accompanied by membrane fragmentation and aggregation rather than vesicle fusion. Detergents with strongly hydrophilic heads (SDS and beta-D-dodecylmaltoside) only very slowly solubilize liposomal membranes and do not cause liposome fusion. These properties are correlated with a slow bilayer flip-flop. Our data suggest that detergent solubilization proceeds by a combination of 1) a transbilayer attack, following flip-flop of detergent molecules across the lipid bilayer, and 2) extraction of membrane components directly by detergent micelles. The present study should help in the design of efficient solubilization protocols, accomplishing the often delicate balance between preserving functional properties of detergent sensitive membrane proteins and minimizing secondary aggregation and lipid content. 相似文献

The membrane/water partition coefficients, K, of 15 electrically neutral (non-charged or zwitterionic) detergents were measured with phospholipid vesicles by using isothermal titration calorimetry, and were compared to the corresponding critical micellar concentrations, cmc. The detergents measured were oligo(ethylene oxide) alkyl ethers (C(m)EO(n) with m = 10/n = 3, 7 and m = 12/n = 3.8); alkylglucosides (octyl, decyl); alkylmaltosides (octyl, decyl, dodecyl); diheptanoylphosphatidylcholine; Tritons (X-100, X-114) and CHAPS. A linear relation between the free energies of partitioning into the membrane and micelle formation was found such that K. CMC approximately 1. The identity K. CMC = 1 was used to classify detergents with respect to their membrane disruption potency. "Strong" detergents are characterized by K. CMC < 1 and solubilize lipid membranes at detergent-to-lipid ratios X(b) < 1 (alkylmaltosides, tritons, heptaethylene glycol alkyl ethers). "Weak" detergents are characterized by K. CMC > 1 and accumulate in the membrane- to detergent-to-lipid ratios X(b) > 1 before the bilayer disintegrates (alkylglucosides, pentaethylene glycol dodecyl ether). 相似文献

Within the cell membrane glycosphingolipids and cholesterol cluster together in distinct domains or lipid rafts, along with glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins in the outer leaflet and acylated proteins in the inner leaflet of the bilayer. These lipid rafts are characterized by insolubility in detergents such as Triton X-100 at 4 degrees C. Studies on model membrane systems have shown that the clustering of glycosphingolipids and GPI-anchored proteins in lipid rafts is an intrinsic property of the acyl chains of these membrane components, and that detergent extraction does not artefactually induce clustering. Cholesterol is not required for clustering in model membranes but does enhance this process. Single particle tracking, chemical cross-linking, fluorescence resonance energy transfer and immunofluorescence microscopy have been used to directly visualize lipid rafts in membranes. The sizes of the rafts observed in these studies range from 70-370 nm, and depletion of cellular cholesterol levels disrupts the rafts. Caveolae, flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane, that contain the coat protein caveolin, are also enriched in cholesterol and glycosphingolipids. Although caveolae are also insoluble in Triton X-100, more selective isolation procedures indicate that caveolae do not equate with detergent-insoluble lipid rafts. Numerous proteins involved in cell signalling have been identified in caveolae, suggesting that these structures may function as signal transduction centres. Depletion of membrane cholesterol with cholesterol binding drugs or by blocking cellular cholesterol biosynthesis disrupts the formation and function of both lipid rafts and caveolae, indicating that these membrane domains are involved in a range of biological processes. 相似文献

Interaction of non-classical detergents with the mitochondrial porin. A new purification procedure and characterization of the pore-forming unit 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The effect of different families of detergents on the solubilization and purification of the pore-forming protein (porin) of the mitochondrial outer membrane of bovine heart was investigated in detail. With Tritons, dimethylamine oxides and zwittergents, porin solubilization with respect to total mitochondrial membrane protein was more efficient with the more hydrophobic members of each series. With most detergents the protein eluted as protein-detergent micelles in the void volume of hydroxyapatite/celite columns. In contrast, the protein was bound to the column material and was eluted after the addition of salt to the elution buffer when the detergents octylglucoside, zwittergent Z-314 and lauryl(dimethyl)-amine oxide were used. The protein purified in the presence of the latter detergent had a higher pore-forming activity in lipid bilayer membranes compared to porin isolated in the presence of Triton X-100. The binding of porin to the hydroxyapatite/celite column was used to study the lipid content of the active pore-forming complex. The analysis revealed that the complex contained no phospholipid but rather five molecules of cholesterol/polypeptide chain. 相似文献
