Bactericidal activity of amphipathic cationic antimicrobial peptides involves altering the membrane fluidity when interacting with the phospholipid bilayer

BackgroundAmphipathic cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) TC19 and TC84, derived from the major AMPs of human blood platelets, thrombocidins, and Bactericidal Peptide 2 (BP2), a synthetic designer peptide showed to perturb the membrane of Bacillus subtilis. We aimed to determine the means by which the three AMPs cause membrane perturbation in vivo using B. subtilis and to evaluate whether the membrane alterations are dependent on the phospholipid composition of the membrane.MethodsPhysiological analysis was employed using Alexa Fluor 488 labelled TC84, various fluorescence dyes, fluorescent microscopy techniques and structured illumination microscopy.ResultsTC19, TC84 and BP2 created extensive fluidity domains in the membrane that are permeable, thus facilitating the entering of the peptides and the leakage of the cytosol. The direct interaction of the peptides with the bilayer create the fluid domains. The changes caused in the packing of the phospholipids lead to the delocalization of membrane bound proteins, thus contributing to the cell's destruction. The changes made to the membrane appeared to be not dependent on the composition of the phospholipid bilayer.ConclusionsThe distortion caused to the fluidity of the membrane by the AMPs is sufficient to facilitate the entering of the peptides and leakage of the cytosol.General significanceHere we show in vivo that cationic AMPs cause “membrane leaks” at the site of membrane insertion by altering the organization and fluidity of the membrane. Our findings thus contribute to the understanding of the membrane perturbation characteristic of cationic AMPs.     

Enrichment of hydrophobic membrane proteins using Triton X-114 and subsequent analysis of their N-glycosylation

BackgroundNumerous proteins depend on correct glycosylation for their proper function and nearly all membrane, as well as secreted, proteins are glycosylated. Glycosylation of membrane proteins plays a crucial role in many processes including the intercellular recognition and intermolecular interactions on the cell surface. The composition of N-glycans attached to membrane proteins has not been sufficiently studied due to the lack of efficient and reproducible analytical methods.MethodsThe aim of this study was to optimise cloud-point extraction (CPE) of membrane proteins with the non-ionic detergent Triton X-114 and analyse their N-glycosylation using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC-UPLC). Purification of isolated proteins from the excess of detergent proved to be the key step. Therefore, several purification procedures were tested to efficiently remove detergent, while retaining maximum protein recoveries.ResultsCPE showed to be an efficient method to simultaneously extract membrane and soluble proteins, which subsequently resulted in different N-glycan profiles of the aforementioned protein groups. The resulting protocol showed satisfactory reproducibility and potential for N-glycan analysis of both membrane and intracellular (soluble) proteins from different kinds of biological material.ConclusionsThis method can be used as a new analytical tool for reliable detection and quantification of oligomannose and complex type N-glycans attached to membrane proteins, thus serving to distinguish between differences in cell types and states.General significanceThe simple method was successfully optimised to generate reliable HILIC-UPLC profiles of N-glycans released from membrane proteins.

Calcium-dependent trapping of mitochondria near plasma membrane in stimulated astrocytes

Growing evidence suggests that astrocytes are the active partners of neurons in many brain functions. Astrocytic mitochondria are highly motile organelles which regulate the temporal and spatial patterns of Ca ²⁺ dynamics, in addition to being a major source of ATP and reactive oxygen species. Previous studies have shown that mitochondria translocate to endoplasmic reticulum during Ca ²⁺ release from internal stores, but whether a similar spatial interaction between mitochondria and plasma membrane occurs is not known. Using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy we show that a fraction of mitochondria became trapped near the plasma membrane of cultured hippocampal astrocytes during exposure to the transmitters glutamate or ATP, resulting in net translocation of the mitochondria to the plasma membrane. This translocation was dependent on the intracellular Ca ²⁺ rise because it was blocked by pre-incubation with BAPTA AM and mimicked by application of the Ca ²⁺ ionophore ionomycin. Transmembrane Ca ²⁺ influx induced by raising external Ca ²⁺ also caused mitochondrial trapping, which occurred more rapidly than that produced by glutamate or ATP. In astrocytes treated with the microtubule-disrupting agent nocodazole, intracellular Ca ²⁺ rises failed to induce trapping of mitochondria near plasma membrane, suggesting a role for microtubules in this phenomenon. Our data reveal the Ca ²⁺ -dependent trapping of mitochondria near the plasma membrane as a novel form of mitochondrial regulation, which is likely to control the perimembrane Ca ²⁺ dynamics and regulate signaling by mitochondria-derived reactive oxygen species.

Advances and challenges in understanding the role of the lipid raft proteome in human health

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Phase separation as a biophysical principle drives the formation of liquid-ordered ‘lipid raft’ membrane microdomains in cellular membranes, including organelles. Given the critical role of cellular membranes in both compartmentalization and signaling, clarifying the roles of membrane microdomains and their mutual regulation of/by membrane proteins is important in understanding the fundamentals of biology, and has implications for health.

Areas covered: This article will consider the evidence for lateral membrane phase separation in model membranes and organellar membranes, critically evaluate the current methods for lipid raft proteomics and discuss the biomedical implications of lipid rafts.

Expert commentary: Lipid raft homeostasis is perturbed in numerous chronic conditions; hence, understanding the precise roles and regulation of the lipid raft proteome is important for health and medicine. The current technical challenges in performing lipid raft proteomics can be overcome through well-controlled experimental design and careful interpretation. Together with technical developments in mass spectrometry and microscopy, our understanding of lipid raft biology and function will improve through recognition of the similarity between organelle and plasma membrane lipid rafts and considered integration of published lipid raft proteomics data.     

A computational study of effects on membrane recruitment of the polar linkers in Vitamin E derivatives

BackgroundPrevious studies found that Vitamin E (VE) could recruit protein kinase B (Akt1) to the membrane by targeting its unconventional lipid-binding site, which led to the dephosphorylation of Akt1 at Ser473, eventually deactivating the enzyme.MethodsA series of VE-like compounds with varying types and lengths of the linker groups are designed to study the VE-driven membrane recruitment of Akt1 using a combined molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation approach.ResultsWe find that the linker groups with only one methylene linker and multiple hydrogen bond donors are optimal for achieving a balance between binding to the protein and partitioning into the membrane to form a stable protein-ligand-membrane ternary complex. These polar linkers are found to form stable hydrogen bonds with the lipid head groups during the MD simulations, which turns out critical for ensuring that the chromanol ring of the VE-like compounds resides above the membrane surface to fully engage in the protein.ConclusionsOur results reveal the molecular determinants of the linker groups for VE derivatives' ability to anchor Akt1 to the membrane.General significanceThese findings will facilitate the design of membrane interfacial compounds to recruit specific proteins to the membrane to modulate the protein function.

Cerium oxide nanoparticles as potential antibiotic adjuvant. Effects of CeO2 nanoparticles on bacterial outer membrane permeability

BackgroundTherapeutic options against Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) pathogens are limited and the overall strategy would be the development of adjuvants able to enhance the activity of therapeutically available antibiotics. Non-specific outer membrane permeabilizer, like metal-oxide nanoparticles, can be used to increase the activity of antibiotics in drug-resistant pathogens. The study aims to investigate the effect of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO₂ NPs) on bacterial outer membrane permeability and their application in increasing the antibacterial activity of antibiotics against MDR pathogens.MethodsThe ability of CeO₂ NPs to permeabilize Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane was investigated by calcein-loaded liposomes. The extent of the damage was evaluated using lipid vesicles loaded with FITC-dextran probes. The effect on bacterial outer membrane was evaluated by measuring the coefficient of permeability at increasing concentrations of CeO₂ NPs. The interaction between CeO₂ NPs and beta-lactams was evaluated by chequerboard assay against a Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate expressing high levels of resistance against those antibiotics.ResultsCalcein leakage increases as NPs concentrations increase while no leakage was observed in FITC-dextran loaded liposomes. In Escherichia coli the outer membrane permeability coefficient increases in presence of CeO₂ NPs. The antibacterial activity of beta-lactam antibiotics against K. pneumoniae was enhanced when combined with NPs.ConclusionsCeO₂ NPs increases the effectiveness of antimicrobials which activity is compromised by drug resistance mechanisms. The synergistic effect is the result of the interaction of NPs with the bacterial outer membrane. The low toxicity of CeO₂ NPs makes them attractive as antibiotic adjuvants against MDR pathogens.     

Role of the membrane in the formation of heme degradation products in red blood cells

AimsRed blood cells (RBCs) have an extensive antioxidant system designed to eliminate the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nevertheless, RBC oxidant stress has been demonstrated by the formation of a fluorescent heme degradation product (excitation (ex) 321 nm, emission (em) 465 nm) both in vitro and in vivo. We investigated the possibility that the observed heme degradation results from ROS generated on the membrane surface that are relatively inaccessible to the cellular antioxidants.Main methodsMembrane and cytosol were separated by centrifugation and the fluorescence intensity and emission maximum were measured. The effect on the maximum emission of adding oxidized and reduced hemoglobin to the fluorescent product formed when hemin is degraded by hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) was studied.Key findings90% of the fluorescent heme degradation products in hemolysates are found on the membrane. Furthermore, these products are not transferred from the cytosol to the membrane and must, therefore, be formed on the membrane. We also showed that the elevated level of heme degradation in HbCC cells that is attributed to increased oxidative stress was found on the membrane.SignificanceThese results suggest that, although ROS generated in the cytosol are neutralized by antioxidant enzymes, H₂O₂ generated by the membrane bound hemoglobin is not accessible to the cytosolic antioxidants and reacts to generate fluorescent heme degradation products. The formation of H₂O₂ on the membrane surface can explain the release of ROS from the RBC to other tissues and ROS damage to the membrane that can alter red cell function and lead to the removal of RBCs from circulation by macrophages.

Mechanism of local anesthetic-induced disruption of raft-like ordered membrane domains

BackgroundBecause ordered membrane domains, called lipid rafts, regulate activation of ion channels related to the nerve pulse, lipids rafts are thought to be a possible target for anesthetic molecules. To understand the mechanism of anesthetic action, we examined influence of representative local anesthetics (LAs); dibucaine, tetracaine, and lidocaine, on raft-like liquid-ordered (L_o)/non-raft-like liquid-disordered (L_d) phase separation.MethodsImpact of LAs on the phase separation was observed by fluorescent microscopy. LA-induced perturbation of the L_o and L_d membranes was examined by DPH anisotropy measurements. Incorporation of LAs to the membranes was examined by fluorescent anisotropy of LAs. The biding location of the LAs was indicated by small angle x-ray diffraction (SAXD).ResultsFluorescent experiments showed that dibucaine eliminated the phase separation the most effectively, followed by tetracaine and lidocaine. The disruption of the phase separation can be explained by their disordering effects on the L_o membrane. SAXD and other experiments further suggested that dibucaine's most potent perturbation of the L_o membrane is attributable to its deeper immersion and bulky molecular structure. Tetracaine, albeit immersed in the L_o membrane as deeply as dibucaine, less perturbs the L_o membrane probably because of its smaller bulkiness. Lidocaine hardly reaches the hydrophobic region, resulting in the weakest L_o membrane perturbation.ConclusionDibcaine perturbs the L_o membrane the most effectively, followed by tetracaine and lidocaine. This ranking correlates with their anesthetic potency.General significanceThis study suggests a possible mechanistic link between anesthetic action and perturbation of lipid rafts.     

Protective action of tamoxifen on carboxyatractyloside-induced mitochondrial permeability transition

AimsMitochondrial permeability transition is established after massive Ca²⁺ accumulation inside the matrix, in addition to an inducer. The closure of the pore can be accomplished by adenosine diphosphate and the immunosuppressant cyclosporin A. Recently, the estrogen antagonist, tamoxifen, has been introduced as an inhibitor of the opening of the permeability transition pore. However, the mechanism by which this drug inhibits pore opening is still under discussion. This work was performed with the purpose of establishing the membrane system involved in tamoxifen-induced pore closure. For this purpose, permeability transition was induced after the addition of carboxyatractyloside, which is a specific reagent that interacts with the adenine nucleotide translocase.Main methodsPermeability transition was assessed by analyzing matrix Ca²⁺ release, transmembrane electric gradient, and mitochondrial swelling in aged, as well as in freshly prepared mitochondria. Also, cytochrome c content was analyzed in membrane mitochondria as well as in the supernatant.Key findingsIn freshly prepared mitochondria, tamoxifen, at the concentration of 10 μM, totally inhibited nonspecific membrane permeability induced by 1 μM carboxyatractyloside. In addition, tamoxifen inhibited non-specific permeability in aged mitochondria and diminished membrane fluidity.SignificancePlausibly, the inhibitory effect of tamoxifen on nonspecific membrane permeability, as induced by carboxyatractyloside, should be ascribed to a diminution, of membrane fluidity by this drug.     

Anisotropic material behaviours of soft tissues in human trachea: an experimental study

BackgroundHuman trachea is a multi-component structure composed of cartilage, trachealis muscle, mucosa and submucosa membrane and adventitial membrane. Its mechanical properties are essential for an accurate prediction of tracheal deformation, which has a significant clinic relevance. Efforts have been made in quantifying the material behaviour of tracheal cartilage and trachealis muscle. However, the material behaviours of other components have been least investigated.MethodsThree human cadaveric trachea specimens were used in this study. Trachealis muscle, mucosa and submucosa membrane and adventitia membrane were excised to perform the uniaxial test in axial and circumferential directions. In total, 72 tissue strips were prepared and tested. Tangent modulus was used to quantified the stiffness of each tissue strip at various stretch levels.ResultsThe obtained results indicated that all types of tracheal soft tissues were highly non-linear and anisotropic. Trachealis muscle in the circumferential direction had the most excellent extensibility; and the adventitial collagen membrane in the circumferential direction was the stiffest.ConclusionThis study is helpful in understanding the material behaviour of trachea. Obtained results can be used for computational and analytic modelling to quantify the tracheal deformation.     

Effect of Calcium ion on synaptotagmin-like protein during pre-fusion of vesicle for exocytosis in blood-brain barrier

BackgroundCalcium signaling and membrane fusion play key roles in exocytosis of drug-containing vesicles through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Identifying the role of synaptotagmin-like protein4-a (Slp4-a) in the presence of Ca²⁺ ions, at the pre-fusion stage of a vesicle with the basolateral membrane of endothelial cell, can reveal brain drug transportation across BBB.MethodsWe utilized molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with a coarse-grained PACE force field to investigate the behaviors of Slp4-a with vesicular and endothelial membranes at the pre-fusion stage of exocytosis since all-atom MD simulation or experiments are more time-consuming and expensive to capture these behaviors.ResultsThe Slp4-a pulls lipid membranes (vesicular and endothelial) into close proximity and disorganizes lipid arrangement at contact points, which are predictors for initiation of fusion. Our MD results also indicate that Slp4-a needs Ca²⁺ to bind with weakly-charged POPE lipids (phosphatidylethanolamine).ConclusionsSlp4-a is an important trigger for membrane fusion in BBB exocytosis. It binds to lipid membranes at multiple binding sites and triggers membrane disruption for fusion in calcium-dependent case.General significanceUnderstanding the prefusion process of the vesicle will help to design better drug delivery mechanisms to the brain through formidable BBB.

The effects of product preparation, membrane selection, and operating parameters are important factors influencing filtration rate and product quality. Technological advances related to the development of new membranes, improvement in process engineering, and better understanding of fruit beverage constituents have expanded the range of membrane separation processes. Developments in novel membrane processes, including electrodialysis and pervaporation, increased the array of applications in combination with other technologies for alternate uses in fruit juices and beverages.     

Comparative analysis of membrane protein structure databases

BackgroundMembrane proteins play important roles in cell survival and cell communication, as they function as transporters, receptors, anchors and enzymes. They are also potential targets for drugs that block receptors or inhibit enzymes related to diseases. Although the number of known structures of membrane proteins is still small relative to the size of the proteome as a whole, many new membrane protein structures have been determined recently.Scope of the articleWe compared and analyzed the widely used membrane protein databases, mpstruc, Orientations of Proteins in Membranes (OPM), and PDBTM, as well as the extended dataset of mpstruc based on sequence similarity, the PDB structures whose classification field indicates that they are “membrane proteins” and the proteins with Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) class-f domains. We evaluated the relationships between these databases or datasets based on the overlap in their contents and the degree of consistency in the structural, topological, and functional classifications and in the transmembrane domain assignment.Major conclusionsThe membrane databases differ from each other in their coverage, and in the criteria that they use for annotation and classification. To ensure the efficient use of these databases, it is important to understand their differences and similarities. The establishment of more detailed and consistent annotations for the sequence, structure, membrane association, and function of membrane proteins is still required.General significanceConsidering the recent growth of experimentally determined structures, a broad survey and cumulative analysis of the sum of knowledge as presented in the membrane protein structure databases can be helpful to elucidate structures and functions of membrane proteins. We also aim to provide a framework for future research and classification of membrane proteins.
