竹红菌甲素对红细胞膜内脂双层的微扰

In this paper, using human erythrocyte membrane, the effect of Hypocrellin A on the lipid bilayer of the membrane was studied by measuring the change of the fluidity of the membrane, the energy transfer of the fluorescent probes, the shift of the fluorescent emission peaks, and the split of band-a of Hypocrellin A. The results showed that in the presence of HA, the fluidity of erythrocyte membrane was increased, the fluorescence intensity of the probes was decreased, and the fluorescence peaks shifted blue. These phenomena took place more seriously with the increment of HA concentration. Meanwhile, the band-a of HA excitation spectra was splitted. It was suggested from all of the results that HA could significantly perturb the lipid bilayer of erythrocyte membrane, there were interactions existing between the Hypocrellin A and the membrane. The HA was mainly located in the middle range of the membrane lipid bilayer when in high concentration (mainly to the 12-16 positions of the long chain fatty acid).     

苯肼对红细胞膜结构和功能的影响

通过对低渗溶血过程、荧光淬灭效应及阴离子跨膜通透性的研究,探讨了苯肼对红细胞膜结构和功能的影响。苯肼浓度0.01mM时,低渗溶血的K_1快过程开始变慢,表明膜脂质流动性的降低。苯肼浓度增至0.1mM后,膜和变性血红蛋白的结合大为增强,这种膜结构的变化提高了阴离子的跨膜通透性。     

竹红菌甲素对红细胞膜内脂双层的微扰

本文以荧光探针为手段,以人红细胞膜为材料,测量了膜偏振度的改变,荧光探针能量转移,荧光峰的蓝移和甲素激发峰的分裂。结果表明在有竹红菌甲素存在时,红细胞膜偏振度增加,探针荧光强度减小,荧光峰蓝移。甲素浓度增加时,上述现象更加明显,即它们之间有正的相关关系。同时,甲素激发光谱的a带发生分裂。据此,我们认为甲素对红细胞膜内脂双层产生明显微扰,甲素与红细胞膜间存在着相互作用。在甲素浓度较大时,它主要是渗入到红细胞膜脂双层的深层部位(膜脂肪酸链的12—16位)。

细胞膜磷脂脂肪酸组成对自絮凝酵母质膜ATP酶响应酒精刺激的影响及其与菌体耐酒精的关系

研究揭示细胞膜磷脂脂肪酸组成与质膜ATP酶在酵母菌耐酒精中的一种新颖关系。实验表明,细胞膜磷脂脂肪酸组成特点对生长于未添加酒精条件下的自絮凝颗粒酵母质膜ATP酶活性没有影响,但却明显影响生长于添加酒精(1％～10％,V／V)条件下的菌体质膜ATP酶对酒精激活的敏感性：预培养于添加0．6mmol／L棕榈酸、亚油酸、或亚麻酸条件下的菌体的质膜ATP酶的最大激活水平分别为各自酶的基态水平(未激活)的3．6、1．5和1．2倍,而对照组(预培养于未添加脂肪酸条件下的菌体)的相应值为2．3倍,酶产生上述最大激活水平时的酒精浓度分别为7％、6％、6％、和7％(V/V)。酶激活后米氏常数Km、最适pH和对钒酸钠(质膜ATP酶特异性抑制剂)的敏感性等性质不变,但最大反应速度υmax明显增加。实验表明,细胞膜磷脂脂肪酸组成特点对提高菌体的耐酒精能力越有利,则其质膜ATP酶被酒精激活的幅度越大,说明菌体耐酒精能力的提高与其质膜ATP酶对酒精激活的敏感性的增加密切相关。细胞膜磷脂脂肪酸组成会影响酵母菌质膜ATP酶对酒精激活的敏感性是观察到的新的实验现象。     

Structure and function of membrane proteins encapsulated in a polymer-bound lipid bilayer

New technologies for the purification of stable membrane proteins have emerged in recent years, in particular methods that allow the preparation of membrane proteins with their native lipid environment. Here, we look at the progress achieved with the use of styrene-maleic acid copolymers (SMA) which are able to insert into biological membranes forming nanoparticles containing membrane proteins and lipids. This technology can be applied to membrane proteins from any host source, and, uniquely, allows purification without the protein ever being removed from a lipid bilayer. Not only do these SMA lipid particles (SMALPs) stabilise membrane proteins, allowing structural and functional studies, but they also offer opportunities to understand the local lipid environment of the host membrane. With any new or different method, questions inevitably arise about the integrity of the protein purified: does it retain its activity; its native structure; and ability to perform its function? How do membrane proteins within SMALPS perform in existing assays and lend themselves to analysis by established methods? We outline here recent work on the structure and function of membrane proteins that have been encapsulated like this in a polymer-bound lipid bilayer, and the potential for the future with this approach.

Physical properties of lipid bilayer membranes: relevance to membrane biological functions

Over the last 25 years one of us (WKS) has been investigating physical properties of lipid bilayer membranes. In 1991 a group led by WKS was organized into the Laboratory of Structure and Dynamics of Biological Membranes, the effective member of which is AW. Using mainly the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin-labeling method, we obtained unexpected results, which are significant for the better understanding of the functioning of biological membranes. We have developed a new pulse EPR spin-labeling method for the detection of membrane domains and evaluation of lipid exchange rates. This review will be focused on our main results which can be summarized as follows: (1) Unsaturation of alkyl chains greatly reduces the ordering and rigidifying effects of cholesterol although the unsaturation alone gives only minor fluidizing effects, as observed by order and reorientational motion, and rather significant rigidifying effects, as observed by translational motion of probe molecules; (2) Fluid-phase model membranes and cell plasma membranes are not barriers to oxygen and nitric oxide transport; (3) Polar carotenoids can regulate membrane fluidity in a way similar to cholesterol; (4) Formation of effective hydrophobic barriers to the permeation of small polar molecules across membranes requires alkyl chain unsaturation and/or the presence of cholesterol; (5) Fluid-phase micro-immiscibility takes place in cis-unsaturated phosphatidylcholine-cholesterol membranes and induces the formation of cholesterol-rich domains; (6) In membranes containing high concentrations of transmembrane proteins a new lipid domain is formed, with lipids trapped within aggregates of proteins, in which the lipid dynamics is diminished to the level of gel-phase.     

Alignment of cholesterol in the membrane bilayer

Freeze-fracture replicas of filipin-treated samples of guinea pig colon mucosa reveal areas in the membrane of the goblet cell granules labeled by filipin-cholesterol complexes (FCC) intermingled with regions patterned by "lines." The FCC and "lines" are arranged in an approximately rhombic pattern. Other membranes of the same cell or of other cells display either FCC only, aligned and occasionally ordered in "rhombs," "lines" only, with a similar pattern, or randomly distributed FCC. Optical diffraction was used to analyze and compare replicas of membranes with ordered FCC and "lines", as well as randomly distributed FCC. The results demonstrate that all these structures are reciprocally related through a common distribution pattern in the membrane. This observation supports the assumption that cholesterol has a preferential ordered distribution within the membrane bilayer.     

Evaluation of bilayer disks as plant cell membrane models in partition studies

We have studied the partitioning of a set of phenolic compounds used as lignin precursor models into lipid bilayer disks and liposomes. The bilayer disks are open bilayer structures stabilized by polyethylene glycol-conjugated lipids. Our results indicate that disks generate more accurate partition data than do liposomes. Furthermore, we show that the partitioning into the membrane phase is reduced slightly if disks composed of 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and cholesterol are exchanged for disks with a lipid composition mimicking that of the root tissue of Zea mays L.     

Poliovirus-induced alterations in HeLa cell membrane functions.

Protein synthesis, amino acid uptake, membrane potential, cell volume, Na+ and K+ levels, and ATPase (Na+,K+ activated; EC 3.6.1.3) activity were investigated in control and poliovirus-infected HeLa cells. Inhibition of protein synthesis was first observed 60 min postinfection and reached a maximum at 120 min. The onset of protein synthesis inhibition coincided with a decrease in cell volume and with an elevation of ATPase activity in isolated HeLa cell membranes. Some 3 h after virus adsorption, ATPase activity was inhibited, the Na+-K+ gradient of the cell collapsed, both membrane potential-dependent tetraphenylphosphonium ion uptake and amino acid uptake were reduced, and the cell volume increased. These results provide further experimental support for the hypothesis that modification of the cell membrane plays an important role in the strategy of cytopathogenic viruses in the shutoff of host metabolism and cell death.     

Amphiphile-induced tubular budding of the bilayer membrane

Amphiphile-induced tubular budding of the erythrocyte membrane was studied using transmission electron microscopy. No chiral patterns of the intramembraneous particles were found, either on the cylindrical buds, or on the tubular nanoexovesicles. In agreement with these observations, the tubular budding may be explained by in-plane ordering of anisotropic membrane inclusions in the buds where the difference between the principal membrane curvatures is very large. In contrast to previously reported theories, no direct external mechanical force is needed to explain tubular budding of the bilayer membrane.
