A phospholipid chelate complexed with ytterbium (DMPE-DTPA:Yb3+) is shown to be readily incorporated into a model membrane system, which may then be aligned in a magnetic field such that the average bilayer normal lies along the field. This so-called positively ordered smectic phase, whose lipids consist of less than 1% DMPE-DTPA:Yb3+, is ideally suited to structural studies of membrane proteins by solid-state NMR, low-angle diffraction, and spectroscopic techniques that require oriented samples. The chelate, 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, which strongly binds the lanthanide ions and serves to orient the membrane in a magnetic field, prevents direct lanthanide-protein interactions and significantly reduces paramagnetic shifts and line broadening. Similar low-spin lanthanide chelates may have applications in field-ordered solution NMR studies of water-soluble proteins and in the design of new magnetically aligned liquid crystalline phases. 相似文献

Optical stopped-flow techniques have been used to determine the dissociation rate constants (koff) for the lanthanide(III) ions from carp (pI 4.25) parvalbumin. For most of the 13 different lanthanides studied, the release kinetics were diphasic, composed of both a fast phase (whose rate varied across the series, La3+ leads to Lu3+, between the limits -1.2 less than or equal to log kFAST less than or equal to -0.7) and a slower phase (whose rate varied across the series, La3+ leads to Lu3+, between the limits -1.2 greater than or equal to log kSLOW greater than or equal to -2.9). In addition, the La3+- and Lu3+-induced changes in the 270-MHz proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of parvalbumin were used to calculate the dissociation constants for these specific lanthanides from the two high-affinity Ca2+ binding sites. The KD for one site appears to remain constant across the lanthanide series, determined to be 4.8 X 10(-11) M for both La3+ and Lu3+. The other site, however, is evidently quite sensitive to the nature of the bound Ln3+ ion and shows a strong preference for La3+ (KD,La = 2.0 X 10(-11) M; KD,Lu = 3.6 X 10(-10) M). We conclude from these observations that reports of nearly indistinguishable CD/EF binding site affinities for parvalbumin complexes of the middle-weight lanthanides (i.e., Eu3+, Gd3+, and Tb3+) are quite reasonable in view of the crossover in relative CD/EF site affinities across the lanthanide series. 相似文献

Trivalent cations of the lanthanide series (La3+----Yb3+) stimulated uptake of proline or glucose in rabbit small intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles. The lanthanides stimulated uptake to an extent greater than Al3+, choline, and in many cases, Na+. A time-course of Er3+-stimulated glucose uptake gave initial rates and overshoots greater than Na+ stimulation. The best activators were Sm3+, Eu3+ and Tm3+, which stimulated proline initial uptakes by 400-600%, and stimulated glucose uptake by 120-150%, compared to Na+. The best lanthanide cotransport activators possessed high third ionization potentials. 相似文献

This study reports the solid-state NMR spectroscopic characterization of a long chain phospholipid bilayer system which spontaneously aligns in a static magnetic field. Magnetically aligned phospholipid bilayers or bicelles are model systems which mimic biological membranes for magnetic resonance studies. The oriented membrane system is composed of a mixture of the bilayer forming phospholipid palmitoylstearoylphosphatidylcholine (PSPC) and the short chain phospholipid dihexanoylphosphatidylcholine (DHPC) that breaks up the extended bilayers into bilayered micelles or bicelles that are highly hydrated (approx. 75% aqueous). Traditionally, the shorter 14 carbon chain phospholipid dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) has been utilized as the bilayer forming phospholipid in bicelle studies. Alignment (perpendicular) was observed with a PSPC/DHPC q ratio between 1.6 and 2.0 slightly above T(m) at 50 degrees C with (2)H and (31)P NMR spectroscopy. Paramagnetic lanthanide ions (Yb(3+)) were added to flip the bilayer discs such that the bilayer normal was parallel with the static magnetic field. The approx. 1.8 (PSPC/DHPC) molar ratio yields a thicker membrane due to the differences in the chain lengths of the DMPC and PSPC phospholipids. The phosphate-to-phosphate thickness of magnetically aligned PSPC/DHPC phospholipid bilayers in the L(alpha) phase may enhance the activity and/or incorporation of different types of integral membrane proteins for solid-state NMR spectroscopic studies. 相似文献

The chemical basis for the similarity between the lanthanide series of ions and calcium is outlined together with the experimental difficulties associated with the use of these ions. A number of properties of the lanthanide ions are highlighted which make them potentially valuable probe elements. In this context the use of lanthanum and the lanthanide ions in probing calcium sites on cellular membranes is reviewed. In most instances, the lanthanide ions displace membranebound Ca and inhibit Ca-mediated membrane function, but, unlike Ca, these ions do not appear to be transported across cellular membranes (mitochondria may be an exception). Generally two relationships can be demonstrated between the inhibition of the Ca-mediated function and the atomic number of the lanthanide ion. Extracellular membranes appear to respond selectively to Tm(III) while intracellular membranes lack the Tm peak and instead exhibit a broad trend in which the smaller ions are the least effective inhibitors. 相似文献

Chelated lanthanide ions, especially gadolinium, have found wide use as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. A new paradigm for generating contrast, termed PARACEST, was recently described that requires the slow exchange of water or other exchangeable protons present in the ligand framework. In previous work, we have described a synthetic method for the preparation of dipeptide conjugates of DOTAM for use as PARACEST agents. Two compounds possessed interesting magnetic properties: the Eu(3+) complex of DOTAM-Gly-Phe-OH and the Tm(3+) complex of DOTAM-Gly-Lys-OH. To understand the relationship between the structure of these complexes and their magnetic properties, we have expanded our synthetic methodology and prepared several new complexes. Ligands have been prepared in which the terminal phenylalanine moieties have been replaced with tryptophan or tyrosine, the distance to the amino acid residue possessing an alpha-substituent has been changed, or phenylalanine and lysine have been combined in the peptide sequence. The preparation of lanthanide(III) complexes of these ligands has been achieved and their PARACEST properties have been determined. 相似文献

We attempted to establish whether lanthanide ions, when added to sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membranes in the absence of nucleotide, compete with Ca2+ for binding to the transport sites of the Ca(2+)-ATPase in these membranes, or whether they bind to different sites. Equilibrium measurements of the effect of lanthanide ions on the intrinsic fluorescence of SR ATPase and on 45Ca2+ binding to it were performed either at neutral pH (pH 6.8), i.e. when endogenous or contaminating Ca2+ was sufficient to nearly saturate the ATPase transport sites, or at acid pH (pH 5.5), which greatly reduced the affinity of calcium for its sites on the ATPase. These measurements did reveal apparent competition between Ca2+ and the lanthanide ions La3+, Gd3+, Pr3+, and Tb3+, which all behaved similarly, but this competition displayed unexpected features: lanthanide ions displaced Ca2+ with a moderate affinity and in a noncooperative way, and the pH dependence of this displacement was smaller than that of the Ca2+ binding to its own sites. Simultaneously, we directly measured the amount of Tb3+ bound to the ATPase relative to the amount of Ca2+ and found that Tb3+ ions only reduced significantly the amount of Ca2+ bound after a considerable number of Tb3+ ions had bound. Furthermore, when we tested the effect of Ca2+ on the amount of Tb3+ bound to the SR membranes, we found that the Tb3+ ions which bound at low Tb3+ concentrations were not displaced when Ca2+ was added at concentrations which saturated the Ca2+ transport sites. We conclude that the sites on SR ATPase to which lanthanide ions bind with the highest affinity are not the high affinity Ca2+ binding and transport sites. At higher concentrations, lanthanide ions did not appear to be able to replace Ca2+ ions and preserve the native structure of their binding pocket, as evaluated in rapid filtration measurements from the effect of moderate concentrations of lanthanide ions on the kinetics of Ca2+ dissociation. Thus, the presence of lanthanide ions slowed down the dissociation from its binding site of the first, superficially bound 45Ca2+ ion, instead of specifically preventing the dissociation of the deeply bound 45Ca2+ ion. These results highlight the need for caution when interpreting, in terms of calcium sites, experimental data collected using lanthanide ions as spectroscopic probes on SR membrane ATPase. 相似文献

CD studies carried out on A23187 indicate a solvent-dependent conformation for the free acid. Alkali metal ions were found to bind to the ionophore weakly. Divalent metal ions such as Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+ and Co2+ and trivalent lanthanide metal ions like La3+ were found to form predominantly 2:1 (ionophore-metal ion) complexes at low concentrations of metal ions, but both 2:1 and 1:1 complexes were formed with increasing salt concentration. Mg2+ and Co2+ exhibit similar CD behaviour that differs from that observed for the other divalent and lanthanide metal ions. The structure of 2:1 complexes involves two ligand molecules coordinated to the metal ion through the carboxylate oxygen, benzoxazole nitrogen and keto-pyrrole oxygen from each ligand molecule along with one or more solvent molecules. Values of the binding constant were determined for 2:1 complexes of the ionophore with divalent and lanthanide metal ions. 相似文献

113Cd-n.m.r. studies were used to investigate the binding of the lanthanide ions La3+, Gd3+, Tb3+, Yb3+ and Lu3+ to parvalbumins. It was shown that lanthanide ions with a smaller ionic radius bind sequentially to Cd2+-saturated parvalbumin, whereas those with a larger ionic radius bind with similar affinity to both the CD site and the EF site. The smallest ion, Lu3+, does in fact not compete significantly with Cd2+ for the CD site in carp parvalbumin, but appears to bind only to the EF site. This preference of the smaller lanthanide ions for the EF site was used to assign the n.m.r. signals for protein-bound 113Cd. By using Cd n.m.r. and Tb3+ fluorescence it was also shown for alpha-lineage parvalbumin from pike that these proteins possess a third site that can bind lanthanide ions. This site is, however, much weaker than in the beta-lineage parvalbumins. It was used to assign the 113Cd resonances from protein-bound Cd2+ ions in the spectrum of pike pI5.0 parvalbumin. 相似文献

1. Shifts in the 1H and 31P-nmr signals originating from the outer and inner phosphorylcholine head-groups and from the lipid acyl chains are observed when phosphatidylcholine vesicles are treated with increasing extravesicular concentrations of the lanthanides Eu3+, Pr3+, Yb3+, and Dy3+. 2. The addition of KNCS to increase the binding of the lanthanide ions to the outer head-groups is used to demonstrate that the intravesicular group shifts are not caused by bulk susceptibility effects. 3. The magnitude and direction of the observed shifts in the 1H-nmr spectrum are shown to be consistent with (a) pseudocontact interaction of the paramagnetic lanthanide ions with the outer phospholipid head-groups, (b) current views of the conformation of the phosphatidylcholine head-group in the presence of lanthanides, and (c) a conservation of magnetic field within the vesicles due to their spherical nature. 4. Variation of the shifts with temperature are compared for egg phosphatidylcholine and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine. The temperature variation in shifts is also used to study phase transitions in each monolayer and phase separations in mixed lipid systems. 相似文献

Crystal structures and FT-IR spectra of metal ion-galactitol (C6H14O6, the ligand here abbreviated as L) complexes: 2LaCl3*C6H14O6*10H2O and SrCl2*C6H14O6 complexes are reported. Crystal data of lanthanide chlorides (La3+, Nd3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Tb3+)-galactitol complexes and alkaline earth chlorides (Ca2+, Sr2+)-galactitol complexes published earlier are summarized. Unlike other lanthanide ion-galactitol complexes (2MCl3*C6H14O6*14H2O), lanthanum ions give rise to two different structures: LaCl3*C6H14O6*6H2O (LaL1) and 2LaCl3*C6H14O6*10H2O (LaL2). Sr2+-galactitol complexes also crystallized with two structures: SrCl2*C6H14O6*4H2O (SrL1) and SrCl2*C6H14O6 (SrL2). These metal ions thus give different coordination structures with galactitol. The crystal structures and FT-IR spectra of lanthanide ion and alkaline earth ion-galactitol complexes were integrated to interpret the coordination modes of different metal ions. Similar IR spectra demonstrate the same coordination modes of the complexes. 相似文献

Effect of inorganic cations on phase transitions. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
H Hauser 《Chemistry and physics of lipids》1991,57(2-3):309-325
The effect of protons and cations on the crystal (gel)-to-liquid crystal transition temperature Tm of isoelectric and negatively charged phospholipids are summarized. The general trends emerging are as follows: Tm depends on the state of ionization of the phospholipid in that Tm-vs-pH-curves parallel the titration curve of the phospholipid. Protonation of phospholipids causes Tm to increase, deprotonation or ionization has the opposite effect. The effects of cations on the Tm of phospholipids may be grouped into non-specific and specific effects. Unspecific effects of cations such as the screening of negative charges of the phospholipid polar group are qualitatively similar to protonation: Tm increases, in the order monovalent less than divalent less than trivalent cations and the effects on negatively charged phospholipids are larger than those on isoelectric phospholipids. Unspecific, electrostatic effects on Tm are reasonably well accounted for by the Gouy-Chapman theory. If, however, specific binding comes into play and/or electrostatic effects are accompanied by changes in phospholipid structure, simple, electrostatic theories fail to explain the observed changes in Tm. The crystal (gel)-to-liquid crystal transition is also a function of the degree of hydration: Tm generally decreases with increasing hydration reaching a plateau in excess H2O. In addition to screening of electric charges, ions may exert yet another non-specific effect: ions may affect Tm indirectly by competing with the phospholipid polar group for water of hydration. This indirect effect plays a role at high ionic strength and/or at low hydration of the phospholipid. Specific binding of cations to negatively charged phospholipids can lead to tight associations of the metal ion with the lipid polar group. Isothermal crystallization of the phospholipid bilayer is induced that is accompanied by a total or partial loss of water of hydration resulting in a marked increase in Tm. For instance, in crystalline Ca2(+)-phosphatidylserine complexes Tm is increased by more than 100 degrees C. 相似文献

The interactions of palmitoyl-alpha-bungarotoxin (PBGT) with dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers have been studied by using high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry together with steady-state and time-resolved phosphorescence and fluorescence spectroscopy. The incorporation of PBGT into large single lamellar vesicles causes a decrease in the phospholipid phase transition temperature (Tm), a broadening of the heat capacity function, and a decrease in the enthalpy change associated with the phospholipid gel to liquid-crystalline transition. Analysis of the dependence of this decreased enthalpy change on the protein/lipid molar ratio indicates that each PBGT molecule exhibits a localized effect upon the bilayer, preventing approximately six lipid molecules from participating in the lipid phase transition. Additional calorimetric experiments indicate that binding to acetylcholine receptor enriched membranes causes a small increase in the Tm of the PBGT/DPPC vesicles. Steady-state fluorescence depolarization measurements employing 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) indicate that the association of PBGT with the phospholipid bilayer decreases the apparent order of the bulk lipid below Tm while increasing the order above Tm. These results have been further supported by rotational mobility measurements of erythrosin-labeled PBGT associated with giant (about 2-micron) unilamellar vesicles composed of dielaidoylphosphatidylcholine or dioleoylphosphatidylcholine using the time-dependent decay of delayed fluorescence/phosphorescence emission anisotropy. Rotational correlation times in the submillisecond time scale (about 30 microseconds) indicate that the protein is highly mobile in the fluid phase and that below Tm the rotational mobility is only slightly restricted.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Metal ion binding sites of bacteriorhodopsin. Laser-induced lanthanide luminescence study 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Laser-excited luminescence lifetimes of lanthanide ions bound to bacteriorhodopsin have been measured in deionized membranes. The luminescence titration curve, as well as the binding curve of apomembrane (retinal-free) with Eu3+, has shown that the removal of the retinal does not significantly affect the affinity of Eu3+ for the two high affinity sites of bacteriorhodopsin. The D2O effects on decay rate constants indicate that Eu3+ bound to the high affinity sites of native membrane or apomembrane is coordinated by about six ligands in the first coordination sphere. Tb3+ is shown to be coordinated by four ligands. The data indicate that metal ions bind to the protein with a specific geometry. From intermetal energy transfer experiments using Eu3+-Pr3+, Tb3+-Ho3+, and Tb3+-Er3+, the distance between the two high affinity sites is estimated to be 7-8 A. 相似文献

The biological functions of plasma membranes depend greatly on the biophysical properties resulting from protein and phospholipid structure. We investigated the phospholipid structure of the normal sarcolemma membrane, which is known to be highly dysfunctional in myopathies. Combining electron microscopy and (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy on isolated sarcolemma vesicles, we find that (i) the sarcolemma vesicles maintain the in-vivo cellular sidedness, (ii) the phospholipid mobility is close to that observed in model membranes (similar lateral diffusion coefficients and spin-lattice T(1) relaxation times). Using broad-band and magic angle spinning (31)P NMR spectroscopy with lanthanide ions (Pr(3+)), it is possible to quantify the distribution of phospholipids between internal and external membrane layers, showing that the trans-bilayer distribution is highly asymmetrical. 相似文献

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies of the interaction of ubiquinone-10 with phospholipid model membranes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Proton magnetic resonance spectra of ubiquinone-10 and ubiquinone-10 dispersed with dipalmitoylglycerophosphocholine or egg phosphatidylcholine in aqueous medium have been obtained. The dispersions are in the form of multilamellar liposomes as judged by 31P-NMR spectra and the thermal history of the samples have ensured that ubiquinone not incorporated into the phospholipid structure only gives rise to a broad-line NMR proton spectrum. A high-resolution proton spectrum of ubiquinone is observed with upfield shifts of the O-methyl protons of the benzoquinone rings, indicating close proximity of the molecules but with an arrangement different from the pure liquid ubiquinone. Spectra obtained in the presence of the lanthanide shift reagents, dysprosium fluorooctanedionate and Dy(NO3)3, which have a preferred location in the hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains, respectively, of ubiquinone/phospholipid codispersions, are consistent with the partitioning of ubiquinone into a hydrophobic phospholipid environment remote from the aqueous phase. The type of arrangements of ubiquinone that could be accommodated within bilayers of phospholipid are discussed. 相似文献

We have investigated the phase characteristics of 1,2-bis(tricosa-10,12-diynoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DC23PC), a phosphatidylcholine with diacetylenic groups in the acyl chains, and its saturated analog 1,2-ditricosanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DTPC), using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Previous studies on the phase behavior of DC23PC in H2O have shown that DC23PC exhibits: (1) formation of cylindrical structures ('tubules') by cooling fluid phase multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) through Tm (43 degrees C), and 2) metastability of small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) in the liquid-crystalline state some 40 degrees C below Tm, with subsequent formation of a gel phase comprised of multilamellar sheets at 2 degrees C. The sheets form tubules when heated and cooled through Tm. FTIR results presented here indicate that as metastable SUVs are cooled toward the transition to bilayer sheets, spectroscopic changes occur before the calorimetric transition as measured by a reduction in the CH2 symmetric stretch frequency and bandwidth. In spite of the vastly different morphologies, the sheet gel phase formed from SUVs is spectroscopically similar to the tubule gel phase. The C-H stretch region of DC23PC gel phase shows bands at 2937 and 2810 cm-1 not observed in the saturated analog of DC23PC, which may be related to perturbations in the acyl chains introduced by the diacetylenic moiety. The narrow CH2 scissoring mode at 1470 cm-1 and the prominent CH2 wagging progression indicate that DC23PC gel phase was highly ordered acyl chains with extended regions of all-trans methylene segments. In addition, the 13 cm-1 reduction in the C = O stretch frequency (1733-1720 cm-1) during the induction of DC23PC gel phase indicates that the interfacial region is dehydrated and rigid in the gel phase. 相似文献

Oncomodulin, the parvalbumin-like calcium-binding protein frequently expressed in tumor tissue, was isolated from Morris hepatoma 5123tc and studied using the luminescent lanthanide ions, Eu3+ and Tb3+. Titrations of the apoprotein - whether monitored by indirect excitation of bound Tb3+, by direct laser excitation of bound Eu3+, or by quenching of the intrinsic tyrosine fluorescence - all indicated the presence of two high-affinity binding sites for lanthanide ions, as in parvalbumin. Moreover, the appearance of the Eu3+ 7F0----5D0 excitation spectrum of Eu2-oncomodulin was found to be highly pH-dependent, as previously observed with parvalbumin. At pH 5.0, it consists of a single peak centered at 5796 A, having a linewidth of approximately 6 A. At higher pH values, this spectrum is replaced by a broader, more symmetric peak at 5782 A. Oncomodulin, however, was found to differ from parvalbumin in at least one important respect: In contrast to the muscle-associated protein, the affinities of the CD site in oncomodulation for Tb3+ and Ca2+ were found to be rather similar, with KCa/KTb approximately equal to 11 +/- 2. 相似文献
