Abstract
In this work, we present the first characterization of the cell lysing mechanism of MSI-78, an antimicrobial peptide. MSI-78 is an amphipathic alpha-helical peptide designed by Genaera Corporation as a synthetic analog to peptides from the magainin family. (31)P-NMR of mechanically aligned samples and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to study peptide-containing lipid bilayers. DSC showed that MSI-78 increased the fluid lamellar to inverted hexagonal phase transition temperature of 1,2-dipalmitoleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine indicating the peptide induces positive curvature strain in lipid bilayers. (31)P-NMR of lipid bilayers composed of MSI-78 and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine demonstrated that the peptide inhibited the fluid lamellar to inverted hexagonal phase transition of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine, supporting the DSC results, and the peptide did not induce the formation of nonlamellar phases, even at very high peptide concentrations (15 mol %). (31)P-NMR of samples containing 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine and MSI-78 revealed that MSI-78 induces significant changes in the bilayer structure, particularly at high peptide concentrations. At lower concentrations (1-5%), the peptide altered the morphology of the bilayer in a way consistent with the formation of a toroidal pore. Higher concentrations of peptide (10-15%) led to the formation of a mixture of normal hexagonal phase and lamellar phase lipids. This work shows that MSI-78 induces significant changes in lipid bilayers via positive curvature strain and presents a model consistent with both the observed spectral changes and previously published work.

Abstract
Bacillus stearothermophilus was grown at the optimal temperature range (center, 65 degrees C), below it (48 and 55 degrees C), and above it (68 degrees C), in a complex medium with or without 2.5 mM Ca2+. The Ca(2+)-supplement improves growth at sub- and supraoptimal temperatures and extends it to higher temperatures (Jurado et al. (1987) J. Gen. Microbiol. 133, 507-513). The phospholipid composition of cultures obtained in the different growth conditions was studied. Phosphatidylethanolamine was always the major phospholipid (40 to 50% of the total phospholipid). Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, a phosphoglycolipid (pgl) and two minor phospholipids (not identified) were also found in the polar lipid extract. The pgl shows a threefold concentration increase as the growth temperature raises from 48 to 68 degrees C. The thermotropic behavior of membrane lipids was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and by means of two fluorescent probes of fluidity, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) and 1,3-di(2-pyrenyl)propane (2Py(3)2Py). The results reveal similar features and clearly show a shift of the temperature range of the phase transition to higher values and an increased structural order of the bilayer, as the growth temperature rises from 55 to 68 degrees C, but an opposite effect was observed from 48 to 55 degrees C. Although the Ca(2+)-supplement to the growth medium has no detectable effect, the addition of Ca2+ to the buffer of liposomes (Ca(2+)-liposomes) has a significant ordering effect at all growth temperatures. These liposomes show a shift of the transition range to higher temperatures and the fluorescent parameters (DPH polarization and intramolecular excimerization of the 2Py(3)2Py) detected an order increase of the probes environment, along and above the main phase transition. Spectra of 31P-NMR and polarized light microscopy clearly show that the lipid extracts exhibit, in all the conditions, typical lamellar phase geometry. We concluded that B. stearothermophilus controls the membrane lipid composition to compensate for the destabilizing effect of high temperatures on the membrane organization or to provide an appropriate packing of phospholipid molecules in a stable bilayer. At high temperatures, Ca(2+)-stimulatory effect on growth is presumably due to a direct Ca2+ interaction with the membrane phospholipids, inducing an increased structural order on the bilayer. The increase of the phase transition temperature in the total lipid extracts as compared with the respective polar lipid fractions probably indicates a stabilizing effect of neutral lipids on membrane bilayers.

Abstract
Action of pig pancreatic phospholipase A2 on vesicles of over 50 synthetic 1,2-diacylglycerol-3-phosphate derivatives and analogs is examined in the absence of any additives. In general, shorter acyl chains and small substituents on the phosphate make a better substrate, while phospholipids with large apolar substituents are not hydrolyzed. The interfacial turnover rate constant for scooting kinetics, ki, for the various phospholipids were from less than 0.1 to 1 per min. Intervesicle exchange of the bound enzyme is faster in vesicles of phospholipids with larger polar substituents, and it is promoted in the presence of anions like chloride, sulfate and thiocyanate. These factors lower the residence time of the enzyme on the bilayer and therefore effectively decrease the rate of hydrolysis. The apparent Km for the enzyme in the interface of anionic phospholipids in the presence of salts is in the 40 to 100 microM range which is 3- to 7-times larger than the dissociation constants for the bound enzyme measured by fluorescence enhancement of Trp-3. The quantum yield of the bound enzyme in vesicles of the various lipids is found to be up to 4-fold different. It is suggested that this difference is due to the E* + S to E*S equilibrium, where E*S has higher fluorescence intensity. The role of calcium in generating the enzyme binding site at the anionic interface, the role of anion anchoring site on the enzyme, and the relationship between the catalytic efficiency and the fluorescence quantum yields are discussed.

Abstract
Hexylglycerol accelerates the transbilayer (flip-flop) movement of phospholipids, lysophospholipids and peptides. For example, lysophosphatidylcholine added to dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles activates the action of pig pancreatic phospholipase A2 (Jain and DeHaas (1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 736, 157-162) This activating effect is dissipated slowly after mixing, and no activation is observed when the lysophospholipid molecules are equally distributed on both sides of the bilayer. The half time for transbilayer movement of lysophosphatidylcholine is about 7 h, and it is accelerated over 100-fold in the presence of n-hexylglycerol, as well as by a variety of other amphipathic solutes including n-alkanols, ketamine, and flufenamic acid. Hexylglycerol also accelerates the rate of transbilayer movement of an amphipathic hexapeptide bocLALALW, as well as of the phosphatidylcholine molecules in erythrocyte membrane. These effects are observed without any change in the gross bilayer organization as judged by 31P-NMR. Biophysical significance of such solute induced acceleration of transbilayer movement of amphipathic solutes is discussed to account for the effect of alkylglycerols on blood brain barrier.

Abstract
X-ray diffraction was used to investigate the lattice structure of aqueous dispersions of two phosphatidyldiacylglycerols and of a phosphatidylcholesterol above and below the chain melting transition temperature. Previously, Noggle et al. (Biochim. Biophys. Acta (1982) 691, 240-248) had investigated these lipids and had concluded on the basis of electron microscopy that the lipids were in a lamellar state above the transition temperature. However, they found the 31P-NMR signals were not characteristic of lamellar phases. It was, therefore, concluded that these lipids were yielding unexpected 31P-NMR spectra. The present X-ray results demonstrate that, in fact, the lipids are not in a lamellar state above the transition temperature and that the 31P-NMR and X-ray data are not necessarily in disagreement. Characteristics of the phases both above and below the chain melt temperature are discussed.

Abstract
Properties of the aqueous dispersions of n-octadecylphosphocholine are examined by differential scanning calorimetry, fluorescence depolarization, light scattering, 31P-NMR, pig pancreatic phospholipase A2 binding, and X-ray diffraction. On heating, these dispersions exhibit a sharp lamellar to micelle transition at 20.5 degrees C. The lamellar phase consists of frozen (gel-state) alkyl chains which do not bind phospholipase A2. The kinetics of the transition are asymmetric: the micelle to lamellar transition is very slow and the lamellar to micelle transition is fast. It is suggested that the lamellar phase is a frozen chain bilayer in which the chains interdigitate.

Abstract
Thermotropic phase-transition properties of the aqueous dispersions of several diacylphosphatidylcholesterol (DRCh) analogs are examined. The aqueous dispersions of their calcium salts exhibit characteristic endothermic thermotropic transitions due to a change in the conformation of acyl chains. These dispersions consist of osmotically intact liposomes that trap ions, and at the transition temperature there is anomalous increase in the ion leakage. Wide-angle electron diffraction studies of DPCh . Ca monolayers also exhibit a transition from a sharp 4.25 A band to a broad one centering at 4.7 A, reflecting an order-disorder transition in the acyl chains. The long-range order in the organization of acyl chains of DRCh molecules could arise from intermolecular interactions between the cholesterol moieties to form a functional dimer, and such dimers are apparently cross-linked by Ca2+ to form a long-range interacting lattice of acyl chains. Evidence for this model is adduced from the fluorescence properties of the dispersions of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholesta-5,7,9-trienol. The phase-transition properties of DRCh are an ideal illustration of calcium-induced isothermal phase transition.

Abstract
In a previous publication, (Singer, M.A., Jain, M.K., Sable, H.Z., Pownall, H.H., Mantulin, W.W., Lister, M.D. and Hancock, A.J. (1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 731, 373-377), we reported the properties of aqueous dispersions of the six diastereo-isomers of cyclopentanoid analogues of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine. Two of these isomers displayed unusually high enthalpies of transition, about double that of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine. One of the high enthalpy isomers whose configuration is all-trans has now been modified by the insertion of extra methylene residues (n = 3 through 9) between the nitrogen and phosphorus atoms of the headgroup. Vesicles were formed from these lipids and studied by 22Na permeability measurements, differential scanning calorimetry, fluorescence polarization, 31P-NMR, and freeze-fracture electron microscopy. Vesicles composed of lipids with n = 2 or 3 exhibit a sharp transition at 46 degrees C or 49 degrees C, respectively, and a high enthalpy with no detectable sub- or pretransitions. Lipids with n greater than 3 exhibit a main transition between 38 and 43 degrees C with enthalpies less than 10 kcal/mol and after prolonged coding (more than 3 days at 4 degrees C) a broad endotherm at about 20 +/- 3 degrees C with enthalpies greater than 4 kcal/mol. These same dispersions display a permeability peak at 20-25 degrees C and a second increase in 22Na efflux in the temperature range 30-40 degrees C. The results of 31P-NMR measurements suggest that the acyl chains in 2,3-dipalmitoylcyclopentano-1-phosphocholine (n = 2) bilayers have restricted rotation below the main phase transition temperature.

Abstract
The addition of Ca2+ to model membrane systems containing phosphatidylserine (PS) can have remarkable effects on the distribution of PS and the overall polymorphic phase [bilayer or hexagonal (HII)] assumed by the lipid mixture. In this study, we examine the influence of Ca2+ on lipid mixtures composed of well-defined (synthetic) species of PS, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and phosphatidylcholine (PC) in the presence and absence of cholesterol by employing 31P and 2H NMR, freeze-fracture, and X-ray techniques. It is shown that whereas Ca2+ can segregate PS into crystalline cochleate domains in equimolar mixtures of dioleoyl-PE and dioleoyl-PS (DOPS), such effects are not observed for mixtures containing more unsaturated (dilinoleoyl) species of PS. The addition of cholesterol to these PE-PS systems inhibits Ca2+-induced segregation of DOPS and facilitates Ca2+-triggered hexagonal (HII) phase formation for both the PE and the PS components. In contrast, in equimolar mixtures of DOPS with dioleoyl-PC, Ca2+-induced segregation of phospholipid is not affected by the presence of up to 33 mol % cholesterol. These and related effects suggest that, in multicomponent biomembrane systems containing both PE and cholesterol, phase segregation of PS by Ca2+ may not be readily achievable. These results are discussed with regard to the reliability of 31P NMR phase identifications of phospholipid structure in model and biological membranes and demonstrate that in mixed lipid systems the influence of divalent cations on lipid distribution and structure can be exquisitely sensitive to details of the local lipid composition.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
