Abstract
The plasma membrane (PM) has undergone important conceptual changes during the history of scientific research, although it is undoubtedly a cellular organelle that constitutes the first defining characteristic of cellular life. Throughout history, the contributions of countless scientists have been published, each one of them with an enriching contribution to the knowledge of the structure-location and function of each structural component of this organelle, as well as the interaction between these and other structures. The first published contributions on the plasmatic membrane were the transport through it followed by the description of the structure: lipid bilayer, associated proteins, carbohydrates bound to both macromolecules, association with the cytoskeleton and dynamics of these components.. The data obtained experimentally from each researcher were represented in graphic configurations, as a language that facilitates the understanding of cellular structures and processes. This paper presents a review of some of the concepts and models proposed about the plasma membrane, emphasizing the components, the structure, the interaction between them and the dynamics. The work is illustrated with resignified 3D diagrams to visualize the changes that occurred during the history of the study of this organelle. Schemes were redrawn in 3D from the original articles...

MALDI-TOF MS Biomarker Detection Models to Distinguish RTX Toxin Phenotypes of Moraxella bovoculi Strains Are Enhanced Using Calcium Chloride Supplemented Agar. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2021; 11:632647. [PMID: 33796479 PMCID: PMC8007961 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2021.632647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2020] [Accepted: 03/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Moraxella bovoculi is the bacterium most often cultured from ocular lesions of cattle with infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis, also known as bovine pinkeye. Some strains of M. bovoculi contain operons encoding for a repeats-in-toxin (RTX) toxin, which is a known virulence factor of multiple veterinary pathogens. We explored the utility of MALDI-TOF MS and biomarker detection models to classify the presence or absence of an RTX phenotype in M. bovoculi. Ninety strains that had undergone whole genome sequencing were classified by the presence or absence of complete RTX operons and confirmed with a visual assessment of hemolysis on blood agar. Strains were grown on Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) with 5% sheep blood, TSA with 5% bovine blood that was supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 10 mmol/LCaCl2, or both. The formulations were designed to determine the influence of growth media on toxin production or activity, as calcium ions are required for toxin secretion and activity. Mass spectra were obtained for strains grown on each agar formulation and biomarker models were developed using ClinProTools 3.0 software. The most accurate model was developed using spectra from strains grown on TSA with 5% bovine blood and supplemented with CaCl2, which had a sensitivity and specificity of 93.3% and 73.3%, respectively, regarding RTX phenotype classification. The same biomarker model algorithm developed from strains grown on TSA with 5% sheep blood had a substantially lower sensitivity and specificity of 68.0% and 52.0%, respectively. Our results indicate that MALDI-TOF MS biomarker models can accurately classify strains of M. bovoculi regarding the presence or absence of RTX toxin operons and that agar media modifications improve the accuracy of these models.

Wrapping axons in mammals and Drosophila: Different lipids, same principle. Biochimie 2020; 178:39-48.

Abstract
Plasma membranes of axon-wrapping glial cells develop specific cylindrical bilayer membranes that surround thin individual axons or axon bundles. Axons are wrapped with single layered glial cells in lower organisms whereas in the mammalian nervous system, axons are surrounded with a characteristic complex multilamellar myelin structure. The high content of lipids in myelin suggests that lipids play crucial roles in the structure and function of myelin. The most striking feature of myelin lipids is the high content of galactosylceramide (GalCer). Serological and genetic studies indicate that GalCer plays a key role in the formation and function of the myelin sheath in mammals. In contrast to mammals, Drosophila lacks GalCer. Instead of GalCer, ceramide phosphoethanolamine (CPE) has an important role to ensheath axons with glial cells in Drosophila. GalCer and CPE share similar physical properties: both lipids have a high phase transition temperature and high packing, are immiscible with cholesterol and form helical liposomes. These properties are caused by both the strong headgroup interactions and the tight packing resulting from the small size of the headgroup and the hydrogen bonds between lipid molecules. These results suggest that mammals and Drosophila wrap axons using different lipids but the same conserved principle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and food-responsive diarrhea (FRD) are common chronic enteropathies in dogs, of which the exact pathogenesis has not been fully understood. In people dyslipidemia has been reported in patients with IBD, and potential therapeutic benefits of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the treatment of IBD have been investigated. Studies on the phospholipid profile in dogs with IBD and FRD are still lacking. AIM To investigate the systemic phospholipid profile of dogs with IBD or FRD and to evaluate possible differences in phospholipids before and after treatment. METHODS The phospholipids in whole blood and EDTA plasma of 32 dogs diagnosed with either IBD (n = 16) or FRD (n = 16) were analyzed by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) prior to and after initiation of treatment, which included an elimination diet enriched with PUFAs. RESULTS A clear separation of the phospholipids between whole blood and plasma was demonstrated on principal component analysis plots. In addition to the type of specimen, treatment and disease severity were the most significant factors determining the variance of the phospholipid profile. An increase in lysolipids was observed after treatment. The phosphatidylcholine (PC) species changed from PC 38:4 before treatment to mainly lysophosphatidylcholine 18:0 after treatment. Furthermore, several differences in the abundance of individual phospholipids were identified between dogs with IBD and dogs with FRD and between treatment statuses using random forest analysis. CONCLUSION Significant variances were identified in the phospholipid profiles of dogs with IBD and FRD. These were particularly determined by type of specimen used, disease severity and treatment status. After treatment, a shift of phospholipid species towards lysophosphatidylcholine 18:0 was observed. Future studies should further investigate the role of lipids in the pathophysiology of IBD and FRD as well as their potential therapeutic benefits.

Abstract
In an effort to provide new treatments for the global crisis of bacterial resistance to current antibiotics, we have used a rational approach to design several new antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). The present study focuses on 24-mer WLBU2 and its derivative, D8, with the amino acid sequence, RRWVRRVRRWVRRVVRVVRRWVRR. In D8, all of the valines are the d-enantiomer. We use X-ray low- and wide-angle diffuse scattering data to measure elasticity and lipid chain order. We show a good correlation between in vitro bacterial killing efficiency and both bending and chain order behavior in bacterial lipid membrane mimics; our results suggest that AMP-triggered domain formation could be the mechanism of bacterial killing in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In red blood cell lipid mimics, D8 stiffens and orders the membrane, while WLBU2 softens and disorders it, which correlate with D8's harmless vs. WLBU2's toxic behavior in hemolysis tests. These results suggest that elasticity and chain order behavior can be used to predict mechanisms of bactericidal action and toxicity of new AMPs.

Abstract
Sphingomyelin and cholesterol are essential lipids that are enriched in plasma membranes of animal cells, where they interact to regulate membrane properties and many intracellular signaling processes. Despite intense study, the interaction between these lipids in membranes is not well understood. Here, structural and biochemical analyses of ostreolysin A (OlyA), a protein that binds to membranes only when they contain both sphingomyelin and cholesterol, reveal that sphingomyelin adopts two distinct conformations in membranes when cholesterol is present. One conformation, bound by OlyA, is induced by stoichiometric, exothermic interactions with cholesterol, properties that are consistent with sphingomyelin/cholesterol complexes. In its second conformation, sphingomyelin is free from cholesterol and does not bind OlyA. A point mutation abolishes OlyA's ability to discriminate between these two conformations. In cells, levels of sphingomyelin/cholesterol complexes are held constant over a wide range of plasma membrane cholesterol concentrations, enabling precise regulation of the chemical activity of cholesterol.

Abstract
Trueperella pyogenes and Clostridium perfringens are two kinds of conditional pathogens frequently associated with wound infections and succeeding lethal complications in various economic livestock. Pyolysin (PLO) and phospholipase C (PLC) are the key virulence factors of these two pathogens, respectively. In our study, a chimeric protein called rPC-PD4, which is composed of the binding regions of PLO and PLC, was synthesized. The toxicity of rPC-PD4 was evaluated. Results revealed that rPC-PD4 is a safe chimeric molecule that can be used to develop vaccines. Immunizing BALB/c mice with rPC-PD4 induced high titers of serum antibodies that could efficiently neutralize the hemolytic activity of recombinant PLO and PLC. After the challenge with T. pyogenes or C. perfringens was performed through the intraperitoneal route, we observed that rPC-PD4 immunization could provide partial immunoprotection and reduce lung, intestine, and liver tissue damage to mice. This work demonstrated the efficacy of the rationally designed rPC-PD4 chimeric protein as a potential vaccine candidate against C. perfringens and T. pyogenes.

Abstract
We recently reported that trace insertion of exogenous fluorescent (green BODIPY) analogs of sphingomyelin (SM) into living red blood cells (RBCs), partially spread onto coverslips, labels submicrometric domains, visible by confocal microscopy. We here extend this feature to endogenous SM, upon binding of a SM-specific nontoxic (NT) fragment of the earthworm toxin, lysenin, fused to the red monomeric fluorescent protein, mCherry [construct named His-mCherry-NT-lysenin (lysenin*)]. Specificity of lysenin* binding was verified with composition-defined liposomes and by loss of (125)I-lysenin* binding to erythrocytes upon SM depletion by SMase. The (125)I-lysenin* binding isotherm indicated saturation at 3.5 × 10(6) molecules/RBC, i.e., ∼3% of SM coverage. Nonsaturating lysenin* concentration also labeled sub-micrometric domains on the plasma membrane of partially spread erythrocytes, colocalizing with inserted green BODIPY-SM, and abrogated by SMase. Lysenin*-labeled domains were stable in time and space and were regulated by temperature and cholesterol. The abundance, size, positioning, and segregation of lysenin*-labeled domains from other lipids (BODIPY-phosphatidylcholine or -glycosphingolipids) depended on membrane tension. Similar lysenin*-labeled domains were evidenced in RBCs gently suspended in 3D-gel. Taken together, these data demonstrate submicrometric compartmentation of endogenous SM at the membrane of a living cell in vitro, and suggest it may be a genuine feature of erythrocytes in vivo.

Abstract
The lipid composition of whole red blood cells was investigated in five sheep with red cells containing a low concentration of potassium (LK) and in five sheep with red cells containing a high concentration of potassium (HK). No apparent differences within the limit of error of the experiment were detected in the lipid class composition between the HK and LK red cells. Cholesterol, the only nonpolar lipid detected in the tissue, was present in oneto-one molar ratio to the total phospholipids. Phosphatidyl ethanolamine and sphingomyelin accounted for 85% of the total phospholipids; phosphatidyl serine, phosphatidyl inositol, phosphatidic acid, and lysolecithin were present in lesser amounts. No lecithin was detected in any of the animals in this investigation. Plasmalogen compounds were found only in the ethanolamine lipids. The molar ratio of choline to noncholine phospholipids was also approximately one to one. It was concluded that the major lipid class distribution in the two types of red cells cannot be directly responsible for the differences observed in the cation concentrations in these cells in the two species of sheep.

Abstract
The neutral sphingomyelinases (N-SMases) are considered major candidates for mediating the stress-induced production of ceramide, and N-SMase activity has been identified, characterized, and cloned from bacteria, yeast, and mammalian cells. Although the level of identity between these enzymes is low, a number of key residues thought to be involved in metal binding and catalysis are conserved. This has led to the suggestion of a common catalytic mechanism, and thus, these enzymes are considered to form an extended family of N-SMases. Despite considerable research into N-SMase activity in cell culture and various tissues, the lack, until recently, of molecular identification of specific N-SMase enzymes had precluded specific insights into the regulation, physiological, and pathological roles of these proteins. In this review, we summarize, for the first time, current knowledge of the N-SMase family, focusing on cloned members from bacteria, yeast, and mammalian cells. We also briefly consider the major future directions for N-SMase research which promises highly significant and specific insight into sphingolipid-mediated functions.

Bacteriol. 90:69-81. 1965.-Culture filtrates of Bacillus cereus contain phospholipases that split phosphoryl choline, phosphoryl ethanolamine, and phosphoryl inositol from the phospholipids phosphatidyl choline (PTC), sphingomyelin, phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PTE), and phosphatidyl inositol (PTI). It is possible that one enzyme catalyzes the degradation of PTE and PTC, but the other phospholipases appear to be separate entities. Some activity on phosphatidyl serine has also been noted. Quantitative paper chromatography has been used for characterizing the phospholipases that are separated on N,N'-diethylaminoethyl cellulose columns. A procedure for the analysis of inositol is included. A sensitive kidney cortex homogenate test is described that depends on the release of alkaline phosphatase for the measurement of phosphatasemia factor (PF) activity associated with the phospholipases. The effects of the phospholipases on erythrocytes, kidney, and bone cells are discussed. Hemolysin activity is inhibited by crude soybean "lecithin," but hemolysis does not seem to be identical with PTE- or PTC-phospholipase activity. PF activity is also inhibited by the "lecithin." Highest PF activity is associated with PTI-phospholipase. The phospholipase fractions differ in their sensitivities to trypsin. Phospholipases with similar properties have been obtained from culture filtrates of B. anthracis.

Abstract
Binding of bilirubin to human erythrocyte membranes was studied after various enzymatic treatments as well as calcium loading. Whereas phospholipase D treatment of erythrocyte membranes resulted in 23% increase in bilirubin binding, phospholipase C-treated membranes showed remarkable enhancement in bilirubin binding. Polar head groups in general and negatively charged phosphate moieties, in particular, of phospholipids of the membrane appear to inhibit a large amount of bilirubin from binding to the membranes. Neuraminidase treatment of the membranes also led to a slight increase in bilirubin binding as compared to untreated membranes. Membrane proteins and carbohydrates seem to play significant regulatory role in bilirubin binding. However, no direct correlation was found between the increase in bilirubin binding and the amount of carbohydrate released upon tryptic digestion of membranes. Increase in bilirubin binding to trypsin-treated membranes can be ascribed to the increase in free bilirubin concentration in the incubation mixture as a result of tryptic hydrolysis of albumin by the membrane-bound tryptic activity. Calcium-loaded erythrocyte membranes also showed remarkable increase in bilirubin binding as a result of negative charge shielding and calcium-induced hydrophobic aggregation. Taken together, these results suggest the inhibitory role of polar head groups of phospholipids (phosphate in particular), carbohydrate and sialic acid in the binding of bilirubin to erythrocyte membranes.

Abstract
A range of clostridial species produce phospholipases C. The zinc metallo phospholipases C have related sequences but different properties. All of these enzymes may be arranged, like alpha-toxin as two-domain proteins. Differences in enzymatic, haemolytic and toxic properties may be explained by differences in amino acids at key positions.

Abstract
Regional differences in human lens membrane lipid composition have been documented and could be responsible for alterations in the function of lens membranes. The phospholipid composition of epithelial membranes of human lenses has been shown to be different from that of fiber membranes. To establish lipid composition-membrane structure relationships, we have examined spectroscopically the structure of lipid membranes from human lens epithelium, cortex and nucleus. Near-infrared Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy was used to obtain the lipid structure of membranes in which the lipid composition was determined previously by 31P-NMR. The disorder (fluidity measured structurally) of the epithelium was evaluated to be 80%, whereas that of the lipids from the cortical and nuclear regions was 55%. The large size of the band at 1650 cm-1 arising from sphingolipids supported the compositional studies which indicate that the major component of human lens membranes is a sphingolipid. Sphingolipids probably account for the high degree of lipid order found in lens membranes. Epithelial membranes were found to contain more glycerolipids and less sphingolipids than fiber cell membranes. This compositional difference would be expected to disorder the epithelial membrane.

Abstract
The effects of choice of solvent and period of extraction on recovery of phospholipid classes extracted from rat erythrocyte membranes were investigated. For extraction of phosphatidylserine (PS) the best recovery was achieved using chloroform-methanol (2:1, v/v), for diacyl phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) acetone-isopropanol (3:2, v/v), and for extraction of plasmalogen PE, phosphatidylcholine (PC) and sphingomyelin (SM) using hexane-isopropanol (3:2, v/v). Using hexane-isopropanol (3:2, v/v), boiling during the extraction increased the recovery of some of the individual phospholipid classes whereas mechanical treatment of the sample had only a slight effect. Furthermore, the fatty acid composition of PS and PE varied most with different extraction conditions and the phospholipid classes PC and SM were extracted more readily from rat erythrocyte membranes than PS, diacyl and plasmalogen PE.

Abstract
1. Hemolytic activity of Spirographis spallanzani coelomic fluid depends on factor(s) strongly influenced by calcium but not by sulfhydril or disulfide reagents. 2. The lytic reaction was suppressed by low zinc ion concentrations but it was not influenced by the presence of proteinase inhibitors. 3. These data indicate that S. spallanzani hemolysin is a non-enzymatic, calcium-dependent, zinc-inhibitable factor that occurs naturally in the coelomic fluid. 4. In the absence of calcium, enzymatic desialization converted sheep erythrocytes into susceptible targets, suggesting the involvement of erythrocyte surface sialic acid. 5. However, the inhibitory effect of the sugar on anti-rabbit lysis was partially removed by addition of calcium. 6. Attempts to characterize membrane components that are critical for hemolysis were performed by inhibition experiments. 7. We found that saccharides, glycoproteins, mucosubstances as well as rabbit erythrocyte soluble tryptic fragments were ineffective in inhibiting hemolysis. 8. Sonicated dispersion of phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidyl ethanol, sphingomyelin and cholesterol did not influence the hemolytic reaction. 9. Rabbit erythrocyte extracted from membrane lipids (chloroform phase) did not modify the lytic activity against rabbit red blood cells. 10. Conversely, the methanol phase consistently reduced the lytic capacity of the fluid. 11. The heat-stable, trypsin-resistant inhibitory factor was most probably a small molecule, since dialysis removed the inhibitory effect.

Abstract
A variety of pathogenic bacteria produce phospholipases C, and since the discovery in 1944 that a bacterial toxin (Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin) possessed an enzymatic activity, there has been considerable interest in this class of proteins. Initial speculation that all phospholipases C would have lethal properties has not been substantiated. Most of the characterized enzymes fall into one of four groups of structurally related proteins: the zinc-metallophospholipases C, the sphingomyelinases, the phosphatidylinositol-hydrolyzing enzymes, and the pseudomonad phospholipases C. The zinc-metallophospholipases C have been most intensively studied, and lethal toxins within this group possess an additional domain. The toxic phospholipases C can interact with eukaryotic cell membranes and hydrolyze phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, leading to cell lysis. However, measurement of the cytolytic potential or lethality of phospholipases C may not accurately indicate their roles in the pathogenesis of disease. Subcytolytic concentrations of phospholipase C can perturb host cells by activating the arachidonic acid cascade or protein kinase C. Nonlethal phospholipases C, such as the Listeria monocytogenes PLC-A, appear to enhance the release of the organism from the host cell phagosome. Since some phospholipases C play important roles in the pathogenesis of disease, they could form components of vaccines. A greater understanding of the modes of action and structure-function relationships of phospholipases C will facilitate the interpretation of studies in which these enzymes are used as membrane probes and will enhance the use of these proteins as models for eukaryotic phospholipases C.

Abstract
Sixteen healthy females were randomly assigned to receive fish oil or corn oil double blind in a 28 days intervention period. Osmotic fragility of erythrocytes was decreased in the fish-oil supplemented group and not affected in the corn-oil group. The decrease in osmotic fragility was maximal after 14 days and approached the pre-intervention level after 24 and 28 days of n-3 supplementation. No change was observed in erythrocyte membrane fluidity in either of the groups. The level of n-3 fatty acids increased significantly in erythrocytes from the fish oil supplemented subjects, mainly at the expense of linoleic acid (18:2, n-6) and oleic acid (18:1). No significant change was seen in the relative amount of arachidonic acid (20:4,n-6) or in the phospholipid/cholesterol ratio in erythrocytes, while the ratio between the sum of phoshatidylcholine and sphingomyeline/phosphatidylethanolamine (PC+SM/PE) increased during the intervention period. This study does not verify the hypothesis of a relationship between osmotic fragility and membrane fluidity. It is concluded that increased level of n-3 fatty acids in erythrocyte membranes decreases osmotic fragility, and that this effect is counteracted by increased PC+SM/PE ratio.

Abstract
Twenty geriatric patients with primary or secondary hyperlipidemia and suffering from various other diseases received for three weeks once daily 900 mg gemfibrozil. The hyperlipidemia had not been treated before, and a cholesterol-reduced diet did not succeed in lowering total cholesterol below 6.75 mmol/l (260 mg/100 ml) and serum triglycerides below 1.97 mmol/l (175 mg/100 ml). The purpose of this study was to analyze the lipid composition of the erythrocyte membrane, serum lipids and rheological parameters before and after the therapy. Mean serum total cholesterol and triglyceride content decreased significantly by 16.3% (p less than 0.05) and 35.2% (p less than 0.01) on average, respectively. Aggregation of thrombocytes and of erythrocytes, thrombin time and partial thromboplastin time slightly varied during the three weeks' treatment, but without statistical significance. The content of total long-chain saturated fatty acids in the phospholipid fraction of the erythrocyte membrane decreased slightly from 41.3% to 40.9% (p less than 0.05), whereas the total w6-unsaturated fatty acids without the precursor linoleic acid increased by about the same extent from 15.66% to 16.0% (p less than 0.05). The molar ratio of phospholipid to cholesterol content decreased significantly (p less than 0.01) due to a reduced phospholipid content at the end of the therapy. In conclusion, in addition to reducing the serum lipids, gemfibrozil slightly effects the lipid composition of erythrocytes, but the effects of the varied concentrations of long-chain saturated and long-chain w6-unsaturated fatty acids in the phospholipid fraction on membrane fluidity might be compensated, at least partly, by the decrease of the ratio of membrane phospholipid to cholesterol.

Abstract
Erythrocyte and plasma phospholipid fatty acids were determined in preterm babies at 0, 6 and 10 weeks. There were highly significant changes in fatty acid composition between birth and 6 weeks in both plasma and erythrocyte phospholipids, the changes being more numerous and quantitatively greater in phosphatidyl choline. There was little further change by 10 weeks. Linoleic acid increased by approximately 100% at 6 weeks in plasma phosphatidyl ethanolamine and 200% in phosphatidyl choline. In erythrocyte phosphatidyl ethanolamine, linoleic acid increased by approximately 150% at 6 weeks and in phosphatidyl choline increased 170%. Arachidonic acid decreased by 54%. The essential fatty acid status of the preterm babies studied using contemporary feeding regimes was satisfactory and by 6 weeks phospholipid fatty acid profiles were comparable with published data for normal healthy breast-fed infants.

Abstract
The phospholipid composition and the distribution of phospholipids over the two leaflets of the membrane have been investigated for rabbit and horse erythrocyte membranes. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) comprises 39.4% and 41.3% of the total phospholipid complement of the rabbit and horse erythrocytes, respectively. In both membranes the distribution of this phospholipid is asymmetric: 70% of the PC is present in the outer layer of the rabbit membrane and 60% in that of the horse. The major species of this phospholipid class are the (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl)- and the (1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl)PC. The disaturated species, (1,2-dipalmitoyl)PC, is present in limited amounts only. Partial replacement of the native PC from intact erythrocytes was accomplished with a purified PC specific transfer protein from bovine liver. Replacement of the native PC species with (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl)PC up to 40% of the total PC complement had no effect on the osmotic fragility, the shape and the in vivo survival time of both erythrocyte species. Replacement of the native PC in both rabbit and horse erythrocytes with (1,2-dipalmitoyl)PC up to 20% gave rise to an increased osmotic fragility, a shape change from discocytic to echinocytic and a significant reduction in survival time measured after reinjection of the modified cells. At 30% replacement with (1,2-dipalmitoyl)PC the resulting spheroechinocytes appeared to be cleared from the circulation within 24 h after reinjection. The conclusion can be drawn that the repair mechanisms which may exist in vivo are insufficient to cope with the drastic changes in properties of the erythrocyte membrane which are induced by replacing more than 15% of the native PC by the dipalmitoyl species.

Abstract
The interaction of sheep erythrocyte membranes with phosphatidylcholine vesicles (liposomes) or human plasma lipoproteins is described. Isolated sheep red cell membranes were incubated with liposomes containing [14C]phosphatidylcholine or [3H]phosphatidylcholine in the presence of EDTA. A time-dependent uptake of phosphatidylcholine into the membranes could be observed. The content of this phospholipid was increased from 2 to 5%. The rate of transfer was dependent on temperature, the amount of phosphatidylcholine present in the incubation mixture and on the fatty acid composition of the liposomal phosphatidylcholine. A possible adsorption of lipid vesicles to the membranes could be monitored by adding cholesteryl [14C]oleate to the liposomal preparation. As cholesterylesters are not transferred between membranes [1], it was possible to differentiate between transfer of phosphatidylcholine molecules from the liposomes into the membranes and adsorption of liposomes to the membranes. The phosphatidylcholine incorporated in the membranes was isolated, and its fatty acids were analysed by gas chromatography. It could be shown that there was a preferential transfer of phosphatidylcholine molecules containing two unsaturated fatty acids.

Abstract
The phase behavior of mixtures of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) with N-palmitoylsphingosinephosphorylcholine (C16SHP) has been investigated in both small unilamellar and large multilamellar vesicles. The steady-state fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) has been used to detect temperature-induced structural changes in these membranes. In addition, electron microscopy has revealed vastly different fracture-face morphologies for large multilamellar vesicles "jet-frozen" from different temperatures. These data have been interpreted in terms of proposed phase diagrams for this lipid mixture. The shapes of the proposed phase diagrams have led us to conclude that phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin species of similar acyl chain length mix freely in both highly curved and uncurved bilayers, except at temperatures at which both lipids are in low-temperature, ordered phases. In addition, the similarity of these phase diagrams to phase diagrams for analogous mixtures of pure phosphatidylcholines suggested that sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine suggested that sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine species might substitute for each other in supporting the lamellar phase necessary for each other in supporting the lamellar phase necessary to cell membrane structure. Finally, the anisotropy of DPH fluorescence was found to be essentially invariant with sphingomyelin content at temperatures just above and below the solid--liquid phase separation in small unilamellar vesicles. This demonstrates that the sphingomyelin backbone, per se, does not order the membrane bilayer. These results are discussed in terms of the possible role of sphingomyelin in controlling acyl chain order within mammalian cell membranes.

Abstract
An aqueous dispersion of fully hydrated bovine sphingomyelin was studied using 14N-NMR spectroscopy. Spectra were obtained as a function of temperature over the range 15-80 degrees C, in both the liquid crystal and gel phases. In the liquid crystal phase, powder pattern lineshapes were obtained, whose quadrupolar splitting slowly decreases with increasing temperature. The spectra are increasingly broadened as the temperature is lowered through the phase transition into the gel phase. The linewidths and the second moments of these spectra indicate that the onset of a broad phase transition occurs at approx. 35 degrees C, in agreement with previous calorimetric and 31 P-NMR measurements. There is no evidence from the lineshapes for an hexagonal phase in this system, and this conclusion is supported by X-ray diffraction measurements carried out on aqueous dispersions of sphingomyelin in both phases. Assuming that the static nitrogen quadrupole coupling constant is the same for both sphingomyelin and dipalmitoyl-L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), the decrease observed in the quadrupolar splitting of sphingomyelin compared to that of DPPC indicates that the orientational order of the choline headgroup in liquid crystalline sphingomyelin is not the same as that of its counterpart in DPPC. Preliminary relaxation time measurements of T1 and T2 are presented which suggest that there are also dynamic differences between sphingomyelin and DPPC in the choline headgroup.
