Abstract:
Nystatin is a membrane-active polyene antibiotic that is thought to kill fungal cells by forming ion-permeable channels. In this report we have investigated nystatin interaction with phosphatidylcholine liposomes of different sizes (large and small unilamellar vesicles) by time-resolved fluorescence measurements. Our data show that the fluorescence emission decay kinetics of the antibiotic interacting with gel-phase 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine vesicles is controlled by the mean number of membrane-bound antibiotic molecules per liposome,
. The transition from a monomeric to an oligomeric state of the antibiotic, which is associated with a sharp increase in nystatin mean fluorescence lifetime from approximately 7-10 to 35 ns, begins to occur at a critical concentration of 10 nystatin molecules per lipid vesicle. To gain further information about the transverse location (degree of penetration) of the membrane-bound antibiotic molecules, the spin-labeled fatty acids (5- and 16-doxyl stearic acids) were used in depth-dependent fluorescence quenching experiments. The results obtained show that monomeric nystatin is anchored at the phospholipid/water interface and suggest that nystatin oligomerization is accompanied by its insertion into the membrane. Globally, the experimental data was quantitatively described by a cooperative partition model which assumes that monomeric nystatin molecules partition into the lipid bilayer surface and reversibly assemble into aggregates of 6 +/- 2 antibiotic molecules.
