Abstract
While the intermittent gating of ion channels has been well studied for decades, dynamics of the action of secondary transporters, another major pathway for ion transmembrane transports, remains largely unexplored in living cells. Herein, intermittent blinking of the spontaneous bioluminescence (BL) from single native bacteria, P. phosphoreum, was reported, investigated and attributed to the intermittent gating of sodium/proton antiporters (NhaA) between the active and inactive conformations. Each gating event caused the rapid depolarization and recovery of membrane potential within several seconds, accompanying with the apparent BL blinking due to the transient inhibitions on the activity of the respiratory chain. Temperature-dependent measurements further obtained an activation energy barrier of the conformational change of 20.3 kJ mol-1 .

Nucleic Acids Res 2021; 49:10835-10850. [PMID: 34614184 PMCID: PMC8565350 DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkab888] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2021] [Revised: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Liposomes are widely used as synthetic analogues of cell membranes and for drug delivery. Lipid-binding DNA nanostructures can modify the shape, porosity and reactivity of liposomes, mediated by cholesterol modifications. DNA nanostructures can also be designed to switch conformations by DNA strand displacement. However, the optimal conditions to facilitate stable, high-yield DNA–lipid binding while allowing controlled switching by strand displacement are not known. Here, we characterized the effect of cholesterol arrangement, DNA structure, buffer and lipid composition on DNA–lipid binding and strand displacement. We observed that binding was inhibited below pH 4, and above 200 mM NaCl or 40 mM MgCl2, was independent of lipid type, and increased with membrane cholesterol content. For simple motifs, binding yield was slightly higher for double-stranded DNA than single-stranded DNA. For larger DNA origami tiles, four to eight cholesterol modifications were optimal, while edge positions and longer spacers increased yield of lipid binding. Strand displacement achieved controlled removal of DNA tiles from membranes, but was inhibited by overhang domains, which are used to prevent cholesterol aggregation. These findings provide design guidelines for integrating strand displacement switching with lipid-binding DNA nanostructures. This paves the way for achieving dynamic control of membrane morphology, enabling broader applications in nanomedicine and biophysics.

Abstract
Single-molecule localization allows determining the underlying biological and biochemical processes and promotes the development of super-resolution imaging techniques. Here, we present an optical technique of tracking the motion of a single nanoparticle linked to a substrate via a biomolecule tether to reveal the localization of single biomolecules and the transient states of single nanoparticle switching between specific binding pairs. The affinities, steric hindrance, and conformational variation of a single-molecule binding pair uncover the dynamic details and intrinsic mechanism of binding processes with high specificity and accuracy (a few nanometers). The application of tracking motions of single soft liposomes on different modified surfaces was further demonstrated, which revealed the characteristic behavior related to surface chemistry. Our results show that the trajectory of nanoscale liposomes loaded with small-drug molecules is linked to the compositional inhomogeneity, which provides a route for thorough comprehension of the fundamental biotechnological process.

Abstract
In this work, we report on the observation of a drastic modulation of the fluorescence emission of an anticancer drug, doxorubicin, at the lipid interface during the variation of its molecular density at the interface. The emission efficiency of doxorubicin in the lipid membrane was modulated in the range of less than 10% to above 300% that in the aqueous solution. The corresponding changes in the structure and functionality of doxorubicin on the lipid surface were analyzed with the aid of second harmonic generation and theoretical calculation. It was observed that doxorubicin molecules aggregated on the lipid membrane at a relatively high interfacial density. However, this aggregation may not cause interfacial domain large enough to alter the permeability of the lipid bilayer. At an even higher doxorubicin density, the domain of the aggregated doxorubicin molecules induced a cross-membrane transportation.
