Ca2+-induced phase separation in phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylethanolamine/phosphatidylcholine model membranes was studied using spin-labeled phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine and compared with that in phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylcholine model membranes studied previously. The phosphatidyl-ethanolamine-containing membranes behaved in qualitatively the same way as did phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylcholine model membranes. There were some quantitative differences between them. The degree of phase separation was higher in the phosphatidylethanolamine-containing membranes. For example, the degree of phase separation in phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylethanolamine membranes containing various mole fractions of phosphatidylserine was 94–100% at 23°C and 84–88% at 40°C, while the corresponding value for phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylcholine membranes was 74–85% at 23°C and 61–79% at 40°C. Ca2+ concentration required for the phase separation was lower for phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylethanolamine than that for phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylcholine membranes; concentration to cause a half-maximal phase separation was M for phosphatidylserine-phosphatidylethanolamine and M for phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylcholine membranes. The phase diagram of phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylethanolamine membranes in the presence of Ca2+ was also qualitatively the same as that of phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylcholine except for the different phase transition temperatures of phosphatidylethanolamine (17°C) and phosphatidylcholine (?15°C). These differences were explained in terms of a greater tendency for phosphatidylethanolamine, compared to phosphatidylcholine, to form its own fluid phase separated from the Ca2+-chelated solid-phase phosphatidylserine domain. 相似文献

The effect of alpha-tocopherol on the structure and phase behaviour of mixed aqueous dispersions of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine has been examined by synchrotron X-ray diffraction and freeze-fracture electron microscopy. Equimolar mixtures of fully saturated derivatives of phospholipids that show gel phase immiscibility were examined including dimyristoylglycerophosphocholine/dipalmitoylglycerophosphoethanolamin e and distearoylglycerophosphocholine/dilauroylglycerophosphoethanolamine++ +. Analysis of the X-ray scattering intensities recorded at wide angles during heating scans of mixed aqueous dispersions containing 2.5 or 5 mol% alpha-tocopherol showed that alpha-tocopherol disordered the acyl chain packing of the phosphatidylcholine to a greater extent than the phosphatidylethanolamine component of the mixture. This suggested that alpha-tocopherol preferentially interacts with phosphatidylcholine rather than phosphatidylethanolamine, irrespective of whether this was the high or low melting point component of the mixture. The presence of 20 mol% alpha-tocopherol in either phospholipid mixture prevented gel phase separation during the prior cooling scan and no conclusions could be drawn as to the distribution of alpha-tocopherol in these mixtures. 相似文献

The structural phases in various mixtures of soybean phosphatidylethanolamine and egg phosphatidylcholine were studied by X-ray diffraction, freeze fracture electron microscopy, and 31P NMR. An intermediate state between bilayer and hexagonal structures was found at a composition of 10–25 mol% of phosphatidylcholine. The intermediate state consists of closely packed multilayers, together with arrays of lipidic intramembranous particles. The arrays of lipidic intramembranous particles, possibly membrane invaginations, give rise to an anisotropic 31P NMR spectrum commonly accredited to a hexagonal structure. A phase diagram of this mixed system is proposed. The compositional range at which the intermediate state exists coincides with the range of maximal mitochondrial ATPase activity when these lipids are used in reconstitution experiments. 相似文献

Infrared and Raman spectra were obtained for the 1690–1770 cm?1 carbonyl stretching mode region for 1,2-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers in the anhydrous, partially hydrated and completely hydrated states. Spectral features at approx. 1740 and 1721 cm?1 are assigned to CO stretching modes associated with the 1- and 2-chain carbonyl groups, respectively. Splittings of the primary transitions at 1743, 1738, ~1731 and ~1721 cm?1 are attributed to rotational isomers involving the entire chain. Hydrogen bond formation between the fatty acid carbonyl and 3βOH cholesterol groups was investigated for anhydrous DPPC bilayers. Examination of frequencies, intensities and half-widths of the carbonyl bands indicates that no hydrogen bonding occurs at either of the two carbonyl sites. However, the addition of cholesterol to completely hydrated DPPC dispersions reduces the conformational inequivalence between the two fatty acid carbonyl groups by specifically perturbing the 2-chain. For cholesterol containing systems the carbonyl stretching mode transitions were also used to monitor lattice effects within the interface region as water binds to the bilayer head groups. Specifically, the addition of approx. 2 molecules of water per lipid molecule orders the lipid lattice and increases the bilayer packing density, while the subsequent addition of 4 molecules of water per lipid molecule releases the packing constraints within the interface region and thereby decreases the packing density. 相似文献

In order to clarify, in dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine multilayers, the effect of the 34°C thermal pretransition on the acyl chain intramolecular disordering process, Raman spectra of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine gels at 20 and 34°C were compared in the 1000–1200 cm−1 skeletal C-C stretching region. In addition to an overall intensity decrease associated with a change in chain packing characteristics, the growth of intensity in the 1080–1090 and 1122 cm−1 regions in the (34-20°C) difference spectrum clearly indicates that the thermal pretransition is accompanied by an increase in the population of hydrocarbon chain gauche rotamers toward the center of the bilayer. 相似文献

The effect of alpha-tocopherol on the structure and phase behaviour of mixed aqueous dispersions of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine has been examined by synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Equimolar mixtures of dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine:dioleoylphosphatidylcholine and dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine:dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine did not show evidence of phase separation of an inverted hexagonal structure typical of alpha-tocopherol and phosphatidylethanolamine from lamellar phase. Mixed dispersions of dioleoyl derivatives of phosphatidylethanolamine:phosphatidylcholine (3:1) form a typical miscible gel phase at low temperatures but which phase separates into lamellar liquid-crystal and inverted hexagonal phases at temperatures greater than 65 degrees C. The presence of 1, 2 or 5 mol% alpha-tocopherol caused a decrease in the temperature at which the inverted hexagonal phase appears. Phase separation of non-lamellar phase from lamellar gel phase can be detected in the presence of 7.5 and 10 mol% alpha-tocopherol, indicating a limited capacity of the phosphatidylcholine to incorporate alpha-tocopherol into the lamellar domain. A partial phase diagram of the ternary mixture has been constructed from the X-ray scattering data. It was concluded that there is no preferential interaction of alpha-tocopherol with phosphatidylethanolamine in mixed aqueous dispersions containing phosphatidylcholines. 相似文献

As a model of phospholipid bilayers in solid an oriented multilayer film (built-up film) of L-α-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) was prepared from the monolayer by the dipping method. Structural analysis has been carried out by measuring infrared dichroism of the built-up film. The results were compared with those of the built-up film of L-α-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE). The tilting of the hydrocarbon chains is larger for DPPC than for DPPE. The orientation of the bisector of the two non-esterified PO bonds is closer to the film plane for DPPC than for DPPE. The strong hydrogen bonding interaction between the polar head groups was shown for DPPE, but not for DPPC. These features resemble the structural differences between dilauroyl phosphatidylethanolamine (DLPE) and dimyristoryl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) in crystals. The hydrogen bonding interaction of DPPE found in solid remains even in the presence of water, namely, in the gel state. More closed packing of the hydrocarbon chains of solid DPPE than DPPC in solid was concluded on the basis of infrared and Raman spectra. 相似文献

Mono- and dimethylated derivatives constitute important intermediates in the conversion of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to phosphatidylcholine (PC) in eucaryote membranes. 1H-NMR techniques were utilized to examine the conformation of the region of the fatty acyl chains that is close to the polar group in the series of alpha-phospholipids: PE, N-methyl-PE, N,N-dimethyl-PE, and PC. The same series of polar groups, but on phospholipid containing sn-1 and/or sn-3 fatty acyl chains (beta-phospholipids) were also examined. All of the phospholipids were in the form of small sonicated vesicles which are widely utilized as membrane models. The alpha-methylene group of the sn-1 and sn-2 fatty acyl chains of the alpha-phospholipids give rise to separate signals due to the non-equivalency of these chains with respect to the glycerol phosphate backbone on all alpha-phospholipids tested. Additionally, differences in the environment of the PC molecules as well as N-methyl-PE, and N,N-dimethyl-PE, but not PE itself on the inside and outside of the vesicles are reflected in the chemical shift of the alpha-methylene protons. On the other hand, all of the beta-phospholipids (including beta-PE) were found to reflect the inside/outside packing differences in their alpha-methylene groups. The bilayer packing does not induce any nonequivalence in the chemically equivalent acyl chains. In mixed micelles with detergents, beta-phospholipids showed one alpha-CH2 signal for all phospholipids. These results are consistent with a common conformational arrangement for the fatty acyl chains in all alpha-phospholipids that have been investigated no matter what aggregated form. The conformational arrangement in the beta-phospholipids is different, but again is similar for all of the compounds tested in various aggregated forms. 相似文献

The metabolism of the molecular species of phosphatidylethanolamine derived from [3H]ethanolamine and molecular species of phosphatidylcholine derived from [3H]ethanolamine or [methyl-3H]choline has been studied in rat hepatocytes. After an initial pulse of radioactivity for 1 h and a chase for up to 24 h, the cells were harvested and the incorporation of label into the various molecular species of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine was determined. The incorporation and metabolism of choline- and ethanolamine-labeled phosphatidylcholine was consistent with deacylation of some species of phosphatidylcholine and reacylation to form molecular species of phosphatidylcholine with different fatty acyl components. In contrast, such remodeling of ethanolamine-labeled phosphatidylethanolamine was not evident. Radioactivity disappeared from all molecular species of phosphatidylethanolamine without an increase in any of the species of phosphatidylethanolamine. This radioactivity was recovered in water-soluble metabolites in the cells and medium. Phosphatidylethanolamine (16:0-22:6) had an initial turnover rate (5.8 nmol/h) which was two or more times that of any of the other major molecular species of phosphatidylethanolamine. The molecular species of phosphatidylethanolamine displayed biphasic turnover profiles. The second rate of decay of radioactivity between 12 and 24 h was 2-4 times slower than the initial decay rate. During the first 2 h of the chase period, phosphatidylcholine was a major metabolite of labeled phosphatidylethanolamine. Subsequently, there was minimal conversion of phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine which suggests that only newly made phosphatidylethanolamine is available as a substrate for methylation to phosphatidylcholine. 相似文献

Aqueous dispersions of egg phosphatidylethanolamine/18 : 1c, 18 : 1c-phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol/18 : 1c, 18 : 1c-phosphatidic acid (50 : 16 : 30 : 4) undergo a temperature-dependent transition from extended bilayers to structures characterized by isotropic 31P-NMR signals and visualized by freeze-fracturing as lipidic particles associated with the bilayer. This transition is accompanied by a 3-fold increase in the phosphatidylcholine pool which can be exchanged by phospholipid exchange protein demonstrating a direct relation between the occurrence of non-bilayer lipid structures and an increased transbilayer movement of phosphatidylcholine. 相似文献

Both wide-angle and lamellar x-ray diffraction data are interpreted in terms of a difference in hydrocarbon chain tilt between fully hydrated dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE). Although the hydrocarbon chains of multilayers of DPPC tilt ty approximately 30 degrees relative to the normal to the plane of the bilayer, as previously reported by others, the hydrocarbon chains of DPPE appear to be oriented approximately normal to the plane of the bilayer. It is found that the chain tilt in DPPC bilayers can be reduced by either: (a) adding an n-alkane to the bilayer interiors or (b) adding lanthanum ions to the fluid layers between bilayers. A molecular packing model is presented which accounts for these data. According to this model, DPPC chains tilt because of the size and conformation of the PC polar head group. 相似文献

Synthesis and physical properties of a new anthracene fatty acid, 9-(2-anthryl)nonanoic acid, and the corresponding anthracene-phosphatidylcholines which were obtained by condensing the acid with sn-1-palmitoyl-lysophosphatidylcholine (PAPC) and with egg lysophosphatidylcholine (EAPC) are described. Differential scanning calorimetry experiments show that these lipids can undergo a liquid-crystal to gel phase transition at temperatures of 15°C and 18°C for EAPC and PAPC, respectively. In monolayers, PAPC exhibits a compression curve nearly superimposable to that of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), with a molecular area of 0.48 nm2 at π = 30 mN m?1. The data indicate that in these lipids, the anthracene group is only slightly more bulky than a normal acyl chain and that it does not significantly affect the regular phospholipid molecular packing. In ethanol solutions or when incorporated into egg phosphatidylcholine liposomes in a molar ratio of 1%, these lipids display UV absorption spectra and fluorescence emission spectra similar to those of 2-methyl anthracene. For EAPC liposomes, a broad and structureless fluorescence emission spectrum centered at around 450 nm, was recorded, suggesting the occurrence of anthracene excimers. As ascertained by UV spectrophotometry, differential scanning calorimetry, fluorescence polarization and anthracene photodimerization experiments, EAPC displays good miscibility properties with lipids in the liquid state (egg phosphatidylcholine) or in the gel state (distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC)). The potential of these anthracene derivatives for studying the dynamics and the topological distribution of lipids in biomembranes is discussed. 相似文献

Human platelets are routinely stored for 5 days prior to transfusion, but they deteriorate during storage. Since very little information is available concerning the effect of storage on platelet phospholipid metabolism, the biosynthesis and remodelling of platelet phospholipids were studied. Platelets were incubated separately with [14C]glycerol, [14C]arachidonic acid, or a mixture of [14C]glycerol and [3H]arachidonic acid, and stored in a platelet storage medium at 22 degrees C. Maximum glycerol uptake (20%) was attained after 6 h. [14C]Glycerol was incorporated into phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylinositol, and to a much lesser extent phosphatidylserine, under storage conditions for 5 days. The distribution of the initial arachidonic acid uptake was not as would be expected based on the molar composition of endogenous phospholipids. The arachidonic acid (75%) which was taken up within 10 min of incubation distributed 55% into the phosphatidylcholine and only 14% into the phosphatidylethanolamine; the molar composition is actually 18% phosphatidylcholine and 47% phosphatidylethanolamine. During storage, there was a continuous transfer of the radiolabelled arachidonic from phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylethanolamine until, after 5 days, the distribution of arachidonic acid was identical to the endogenous distribution. In contrast, no change in the glycerol incorporation pattern was detected during storage. This suggested that the mechanism for arachidonic acid redistribution was not through exchange of polar head groups, but through acyl transfer of arachidonic acid from phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylethanolamine. 相似文献

The diffusion coefficients (cm2/s), of four monovalent cations K+, Na+, Rb+ and Cs+ and of Ca2+ have been measured in phosphatidylcholine/water lamellar phase as a function of phase hydration and temperature and in the presence of divalent cations. Diffusion rates vary strongly with phase hydration, between 10?7 and 10?6 cm2/s for monovalent and 10?8 and 10?7 for Ca2+. The activation energies obtained are relatively small (5–10 kcal/mol). As the phase water content increases, a series of diffusion sequences is obtained, corresponding to the sequences predicted by Eisenman's theory of alkali ion equilibrium selectivity.This diffusionnal selectivity, which depends exclusively upon non-equilibrium parameters (mobility) within the hydrophilic path is discussed in respect to current theories of pore selectivity. 相似文献

Egg yolk phospholipids, on a 10 g scale, were resolved by high-performance liquid chromatography on an 8-m silica column with elution by a stepwise chloroformmethanol gradient into homogenous phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and lysophosphatidylethanolamine fractions. Within these fractions, partial resolution on the basis of fatty acyl side chain composition was achieved. 相似文献

The interaction of melittin, a polypeptide consisting of 26 amino acid residues, with dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine bilayers was investigated by vibrational Raman spectroscopy. Spectral peak height intensity ratios, involving vibrational transitions in both the 3000 cm?1 acyl chain methylene carbon-hydrogen stretching mode region and the 1100 cm?1 acyl chain carbon-carbon skeletal stretching mode interval, served as temperature profile indices for monitoring the bilayer order-disorder processes. For a lipid : melittin molar ratio of 14 : 1 two order-disorder transitions were observed. In comparison to a gel to liquid crystalline phase transition of 22.5°C for the pure lipid, the lower transition, exhibiting a 2°C width, is centered at 17°C and is associated with a depression of the main lipid phase transition of dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine. The second thermal transition, displaying a 7°C interval, occurs at approx. 29°C and is associated with the melting behavior of approximately seven immobilized boundary lipids which surround the inserted hydrophobic segment of the polypeptide. For a lipid : melittin molar ratio of 10 : 1 two thermal transitions are also observed at 11 and 30°C. As before, they represent, respectively, the main gel to liquid crystalline phase transition and the melting behavior of approximately four boundary lipids attached to melittin. From these data alternative schemes are suggested for disposing the immobilized lipids around the hydrophobic portion of the polypeptide within the bilayer. 相似文献

Laser Raman spectra are reported for solid films cast from a series of solutions containing mixtures of right- and left-handed α-helices of poly-γ-benzyl-L - and D -glutamate. Procedures were established for producing spectra that were reproducible in position to ±0.3 cm?1 and in relative intensity to a few percent for features of interest. Spectra for the pure L and pure D polymers were identical, as expected. Several small but definite spectral changes appear in the mixtures, reaching a maximum for the racemic 50:50 mixture. The changes are a shift of ?1.4 cm?1 in the amide I peak at 1650.5 cm?1; a shift of about ?5 cm?1 in the partially resolved amide III peak at 1291 cm?1; a shift of +2.5 cm?1 in the benzyl peak at 3062.5 cm?1; changes in relative intensity of as much as 50% in several regions; and the marked enhancement of several peaks, particularly that at 254 cm?1. These changes are discussed in terms of side-chain interactions in the packing of right- and left-handed helices. 相似文献

Outer and cytoplasmic membranes of Escherichia coli were prepared by a method based on isopyenic centrifugation on a sucrose gradient. The infrared spectra of solid films of these membranes were studied. The cytoplasmic membrane had an amide I band at 1657 cm?1 and an amide II band at 1548 cm?1. The outer membrane had a broad amide I band at 1631–1657 cm?1 and an amid II band at 1548 cm?1 with a shoulder at 1520–1530 cm?1. Upon deuteration, the amide I band of the cytoplasmic membrane shifted to 1648 cm?1, whereas the band at 1631 cm?1 of the outer membrane remained unchanged. After extraction of lipids with chloroform and methanol, the infrared spectra in the amide I and amide II regions of both membranes remained unchanged. Although the outer membrane specifically contained lipopolysaccharide, this could not account for the difference in the infrared spectra of outer and cytoplasmic membranes. It is concluded that a large portion of proteins in the outer membrane is a β-structured polypeptide, while this conformation is found less, if at all in the cytoplasmic membrane. 相似文献

The phase diagram of phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylethanolamine membranes in the presence of Ca2+ was also qualitatively the same as that of phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylcholine except for the different phase transition temperatures of phosphatidylethanolamine (17 degrees C) and phosphatidylcholine (-15 degrees C). These differences were explained in terms of a greater tendency for phosphatidylethanolamine, compared to phosphatidylcholine, to form its own fluid phase separated from the Ca2+-chelated solid-phase phosphatidylserine domain. 相似文献
