Müller GA, Müller TD. (Patho)Physiology of Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-Anchored Proteins II: Intercellular Transfer of Matter (Inheritance?) That Matters. Biomolecules 2023; 13:994.

Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins (APs) are anchored at the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane (PM) bilayer by covalent linkage to a typical glycolipid and expressed in all eukaryotic organisms so far studied. Lipolytic release from PMs into extracellular compartments and intercellular transfer are regarded as the main (patho)physiological roles exerted by GPI-APs. The intercellular transfer of GPI-APs relies on the complete GPI anchor and is mediated by extracellular vesicles such as microvesicles and exosomes and lipid-free homo- or heteromeric aggregates, and lipoprotein-like particles such as prostasomes and surfactant-like particles, or lipid-containing micelle-like complexes. In mammalian organisms, non-vesicular transfer is controlled by the distance between donor and acceptor cells/tissues; intrinsic conditions such as age, metabolic state, and stress; extrinsic factors such as GPI-binding proteins; hormones such as insulin; and drugs such as anti-diabetic sulfonylureas. It proceeds either "directly" upon close neighborhood or contact of donor and acceptor cells or "indirectly" as a consequence of the induced lipolytic release of GPI-APs from PMs. Those displace from the serum GPI-binding proteins GPI-APs, which have retained the complete anchor, and become assembled in aggregates or micelle-like complexes. Importantly, intercellular transfer of GPI-APs has been shown to induce specific phenotypes such as stimulation of lipid and glycogen synthesis, in cultured human adipocytes, blood cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells. As a consequence, intercellular transfer of GPI-APs should be regarded as non-genetic inheritance of (acquired) features between somatic cells which is based on the biogenesis and transmission of matter such as GPI-APs and "membrane landscapes", rather than the replication and transmission of information such as DNA. Its operation in mammalian organisms remains to be clarified.

Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins (APs) are anchored at the outer leaflet of plasma membranes (PMs) of all eukaryotic organisms studied so far by covalent linkage to a highly conserved glycolipid rather than a transmembrane domain. Since their first description, experimental data have been accumulating for the capability of GPI-APs to be released from PMs into the surrounding milieu. It became evident that this release results in distinct arrangements of GPI-APs which are compatible with the aqueous milieu upon loss of their GPI anchor by (proteolytic or lipolytic) cleavage or in the course of shielding of the full-length GPI anchor by incorporation into extracellular vesicles, lipoprotein-like particles and (lyso)phospholipid- and cholesterol-harboring micelle-like complexes or by association with GPI-binding proteins or/and other full-length GPI-APs. In mammalian organisms, the (patho)physiological roles of the released GPI-APs in the extracellular environment, such as blood and tissue cells, depend on the molecular mechanisms of their release as well as the cell types and tissues involved, and are controlled by their removal from circulation. This is accomplished by endocytic uptake by liver cells and/or degradation by GPI-specific phospholipase D in order to bypass potential unwanted effects of the released GPI-APs or their transfer from the releasing donor to acceptor cells (which will be reviewed in a forthcoming manuscript).

[PMID: 35806423 PMCID: PMC9267055 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23137418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 06/28/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins (GPI-APs), which are anchored at the outer leaflet of plasma membranes (PM) only by a carboxy-terminal GPI glycolipid, are known to fulfill multiple enzymic and receptor functions at the cell surface. Previous studies revealed that full-length GPI-APs with the complete GPI anchor attached can be released from and inserted into PMs in vitro. Moreover, full-length GPI-APs were recovered from serum, dependent on the age and metabolic state of rats and humans. Here, the possibility of intercellular control of metabolism by the intercellular transfer of GPI-APs was studied. Mutant K562 erythroleukemia (EL) cells, mannosamine-treated human adipocytes and methyl-ß-cyclodextrin-treated rat adipocytes as acceptor cells for GPI-APs, based on their impaired PM expression of GPI-APs, were incubated with full-length GPI-APs, prepared from rat adipocytes and embedded in micelle-like complexes, or with EL cells and human adipocytes with normal expression of GPI-APs as donor cells in transwell co-cultures. Increases in the amounts of full-length GPI-APs at the PM of acceptor cells as a measure of their transfer was assayed by chip-based sensing. Both experimental setups supported both the transfer and upregulation of glycogen (EL cells) and lipid (adipocytes) synthesis. These were all diminished by serum, serum GPI-specific phospholipase D, albumin, active bacterial PI-specific phospholipase C or depletion of total GPI-APs from the culture medium. Serum inhibition of both transfer and glycogen/lipid synthesis was counteracted by synthetic phosphoinositolglycans (PIGs), which closely resemble the structure of the GPI glycan core and caused dissociation of GPI-APs from serum proteins. Finally, large, heavily lipid-loaded donor and small, slightly lipid-loaded acceptor adipocytes were most effective in stimulating transfer and lipid synthesis. In conclusion, full-length GPI-APs can be transferred between adipocytes or between blood cells as well as between these cell types. Transfer and the resulting stimulation of lipid and glycogen synthesis, respectively, are downregulated by serum proteins and upregulated by PIGs. These findings argue for the (patho)physiological relevance of the intercellular transfer of GPI-APs in general and its role in the paracrine vs. endocrine (dys)regulation of metabolism, in particular. Moreover, they raise the possibility of the use of full-length GPI-APs as therapeutics for metabolic diseases.

Chip-Based Sensing of the Intercellular Transfer of Cell Surface Proteins: Regulation by the Metabolic State. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9101452. [PMID: 34680568 PMCID: PMC8533487 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines9101452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2021] [Revised: 10/05/2021] [Accepted: 10/07/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) are anchored at the surface of mammalian blood and tissue cells through a carboxy-terminal GPI glycolipid. Eventually, they are released into incubation medium in vitro and blood in vivo and subsequently inserted into neighboring cells, potentially leading to inappropriate surface expression or lysis. To obtain first insight into the potential (patho)physiological relevance of intercellular GPI-AP transfer and its biochemical characterization, a cell-free chip- and microfluidic channel-based sensing system was introduced. For this, rat or human adipocyte or erythrocyte plasma membranes (PM) were covalently captured by the TiO2 chip surface operating as the acceptor PM. To measure transfer between PM, donor erythrocyte or adipocyte PM were injected into the channels of a flow chamber, incubated, and washed out, and the type and amount of proteins which had been transferred to acceptor PM evaluated with specific antibodies. Antibody binding was detected as phase shift of horizontal surface acoustic waves propagating over the chip surface. Time- and temperature-dependent transfer, which did not rely on fusion of donor and acceptor PM, was detected for GPI-APs, but not typical transmembrane proteins. Transfer of GPI-APs was found to be prevented by α-toxin, which binds to the glycan core of GPI anchors, and serum proteins in concentration-dependent fashion. Blockade of transfer, which was restored by synthetic phosphoinositolglycans mimicking the glycan core of GPI anchors, led to accumulation in the chip channels of full-length GPI-APs in association with phospholipids and cholesterol in non-membrane structures. Strikingly, efficacy of transfer between adipocytes and erythrocytes was determined by the metabolic state (genotype and feeding state) of the rats, which were used as source for the PM and sera, with upregulation in obese and diabetic rats and counterbalance by serum proteins. The novel chip-based sensing system for GPI-AP transfer may be useful for the prediction and stratification of metabolic diseases as well as elucidation of the putative role of intercellular transfer of cell surface proteins, such as GPI-APs, in (patho)physiological mechanisms.

Interaction of Full-Length Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-Anchored Proteins with Serum Proteins and Their Translocation to Cells In Vitro Depend on the (Pre-)Diabetic State in Rats and Humans. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9030277. [PMID: 33802150 PMCID: PMC8000876 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines9030277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2021] [Revised: 03/01/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins (GPI-APs), which are anchored at the surface of mammalian cultured and tissue cells through a carboxy-terminal GPI glycolipid, are susceptible to release into incubation medium and (rat and human) blood, respectively, in response to metabolic stress and ageing. Those GPI-APs with the complete GPI still attached form micelle-like complexes together with (lyso)phospholipids and cholesterol and are prone to degradation by serum GPI-specific phospholipase D (GPLD1), as well as translocation to the surface of acceptor cells in vitro. In this study, the interaction of GPI-APs with GPLD1 or other serum proteins derived from metabolically deranged rat and humans and their translocation were measured by microfluidic chip- and surface acoustic wave-based sensing of micelle-like complexes reconstituted with model GPI-APs. The effect of GPI-AP translocation on the integrity of the acceptor cell surface was studied as lactate dehydrogenase release. For both rats and humans, the dependence of serum GPLD1 activity on the hyperglycemic/hyperinsulinemic state was found to be primarily based on upregulation of the interaction of GPLD1 with micelle-like GPI-AP complexes, rather than on its amount. In addition to GPLD1, other serum proteins were found to interact with the GPI phosphoinositolglycan of full-length GPI-APs. Upon incubation of rat adipocytes with full-length GPI-APs, their translocation from the micelle-like complexes (and also with lower efficacy from reconstituted high-density lipoproteins and liposomes) to acceptor cells was observed, accompanied by upregulation of their lysis. Both GPI-AP translocation and adipocyte lysis became reduced in the presence of serum proteins, including (inhibited) GPLD1. The reduction was higher with serum from hyperglycemic/hyperinsulinemic rats and diabetic humans compared to healthy ones. These findings suggest that the deleterious effects of full-length GPI-APs following spontaneous release into the circulation of metabolically deranged rats and humans are counterbalanced by upregulated interaction of their GPI anchor with GPLD1 and other serum proteins. Thereby, translocation of GPI-APs to blood and tissue cells and their lysis are prevented. The identification of GPI-APs and serum proteins interacting within micelle-like complexes may facilitate the prediction and stratification of diseases that are associated with impaired cell-surface anchorage of GPI-APs, such as obesity and diabetes.

Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) are associated with the surface of eucaryotic cells only through a covalently coupled carboxy-terminal GPI glycolipid structure which is anchored at the outer leaflet of plasma membranes. This mode of membrane association may be responsible for the recent observations that full-length GPI-APs harbouring the complete GPI anchor are (i) released from isolated rat adipocytes in vitro and (ii) expressed in rat and human serum. The upregulation of the adipocyte release in response to increased cell size and blood glucose/insulin levels of the donor rats and downregulation of the expression in serum of insulin resistant and diabetic rats have been reconciled with enhanced degradation of the full-length GPI-APs released into micelle-like complexes together with (lyso) phospholipids and cholesterol by serum GPI-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD). Here by using a sensitive and reliable sensing method for full-length GPI-APs, which relies on surface acoustic waves propagating over microfluidic chips, the upregulation of (i) the release of the full-length GPI-APs CD73, alkaline phosphatase and CD55 from isolated adipocyte plasma membranes monitored in a "lab-on-the-chip" configuration, (ii) their release from isolated rat adipocytes into the incubation medium and (iii) the lipolytic cleavage of their GPI anchors in serum was demonstrated to increase with age (3-16 weeks) and body weight (87-477 g) of (healthy) donor rats. In contrast, the amount of full-length GPI-APs in rat serum, as determined by chip-based sensing, turned out to decline with age/body weight. These correlations suggest that age-/weight-induced alterations (in certain biophysical/biochemical characteristics) of plasma membranes are responsible for the release of full-length GPI-APs which becomes counteracted by elevated GPI-PLD activity in serum. Thus, sensitive and specific measurement of these GPI-AP-relevant parameters may be useful for monitoring of age-related cell surface changes, in general, and diseases, in particular.

Abstract
Anchorage of a subset of cell surface proteins in eukaryotic cells is mediated by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) moiety covalently attached to the carboxy-terminus of the protein moiety. Experimental evidence for the potential of GPI-anchored proteins (GPI-AP) of being released from cells into the extracellular environment has been accumulating, which involves either the loss or retention of the GPI anchor. Release of GPI-AP from donor cells may occur spontaneously or in response to endogenous or environmental signals. The experimental evidence for direct insertion of exogenous GPI-AP equipped with the complete anchor structure into the outer plasma membrane bilayer leaflets of acceptor cells is reviewed as well as the potential underlying molecular mechanisms. Furthermore, promiscuous transfer of certain GPI-AP between plasma membranes of different cells in vivo under certain (patho)physiological conditions has been reported. Engineering of target cell surfaces using chimeric GPI-AP with complete GPI anchor may be useful for therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins (GPI-AP) with the complete glycolipid anchor attached have previously been shown to be released from the outer plasma membrane leaflet of rat adipocytes in positive correlation to cell size and blood glucose/insulin levels of the donor rats. Furthermore, they are present in rat and human serum, however, at amounts that are lower in insulin-resistant/obese rats compared with normal ones. These findings prompted further evaluation of the potential of full-length GPI-AP for the prediction and stratification of metabolically deranged states. A comparison of the signatures of horizontal surface acoustic waves that were generated by full-length GPI-AP in the course of their specific capture by and subsequent dissociation from a chip-based sensor between those from rat serum and those reconstituted into lipidic structures strongly argues for expression of full-length GPI-AP in serum in micelle-like complexes in concert with phospholipids, lysophospholipids, and cholesterol. Both the reconstituted and the rat serum complexes were highly sensitive toward mechanical forces, such as vibration. Furthermore, full-length GPI-AP reconstituted into micelle-like complexes represented efficient substrates for cleavage by serum glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD). These findings raised the possibility that the upregulated release of full-length GPI-AP into micelle-like serum complexes from metabolically deranged cells is compensated by elevated GPI-PLD activity. In fact, serum GPI-PLD activity toward full-length GPI-AP in micelle-like complexes, but not in detergent micelles, was positively correlated to early states of insulin resistance and obesity in genetic and diet-induced rat models as well as to the body weight in humans. Moreover, the differences in the degradation of GPI-AP in micelle-like complexes were found to rely in part on the interaction of serum GPI-PLD with an activating serum factor. These data suggest that serum GPI-PLD activity measured with GPI-AP in micelle-like complexes is indicative of enhanced release of full-length GPI-AP from relevant tissues into the circulation as a consequence of early metabolic derangement in rats and humans.

Abstract
Matrix vesicles (MVs) are a special class of extracellular vesicles that drive bone and dentin mineralization by providing the essential enzymes and ions for the nucleation and propagation of mineral crystals. Tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) is an integral protein of MV membrane and participates in biomineralization by hydrolyzing extracellular pyrophosphate (PPi), a strong mineralization inhibitor, and forming inorganic phosphate (Pi), necessary for the growth of mineral crystals inside MVs and their propagation once released in the extracellular matrix. MV membrane is enriched in cholesterol (CHOL), which influences the incorporation and activity of integral proteins in biologic membranes; however, how CHOL controls the incorporation and activity of TNAP in MV membrane has not yet been elucidated. In the present study, Langmuir monolayers were used as a MV membrane biomimetic model to assess how CHOL affects TNAP incorporation and activity. Surface pressure-area (π-A) isotherms of binary dipalmitoilphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)/CHOL monolayers showed that TNAP incorporation increases with CHOL concentration. Infrared spectroscopy showed that CHOL influences the conformation and orientation of the enzyme. Optical-fluorescence micrographs of the monolayers revealed the tendency of TNAP to incorporate into CHOL-rich microdomains. These data suggest that TNAP penetrates more efficiently and occupies a higher surface area into monolayers with a lower CHOL concentration due to the higher membrane fluidity. However, the quantity of enzyme transferred to solid supports as well as the enzymatic activity were higher using monolayers with a higher CHOL concentration due to increased rigidity that changes the enzyme orientation at the air-solid interface. These data provide new insights regarding the interfacial behavior of TNAP and CHOL in MVs and shed light on the biochemical and biophysical processes occurring in the MV membrane during biomineralization at the molecular level.

Licofelone-DPPC Interactions: Putting Membrane Lipids on the Radar of Drug Development. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24030516.

Abstract
(1) Background: Membrane lipids have been disregarded in drug development throughout the years. Recently, they gained attention in drug design as targets, but they are still disregarded in the latter stages. Thus, this study aims to highlight the relevance of considering membrane lipids in the preclinical phase of drug development. (2) Methods: The interactions of a drug candidate for clinical use (licofelone) with a membrane model system made of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) were evaluated by combining Langmuir isotherms, Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), polarization-modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS), and grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) measurements. (3) Results: Licofelone caused the expansion of the DPPC isotherm without changing the lipid phase transition profile. Moreover, licofelone induced the reduction of DPPC packing density, while increasing the local order of the DPPC acyl chains. (4) Conclusions: The licofelone-induced alterations in the structural organization of phosphatidylcholine monolayers may be related to its pharmacological actions. Thus, the combination of studying drug-membrane interactions with the pharmacological characterization that occurs in the preclinical stage may gather additional information about the mechanisms of action and toxicity of drug candidates. Ultimately, the addition of this innovative step shall improve the success rate of drug development.

Effect of the presence of cholesterol in the interfacial microenvironment on the modulation of the alkaline phosphatase activity during in vitro mineralization. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2017; 155:466-476. [PMID: 28472750 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2017.04.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2017] [Revised: 04/20/2017] [Accepted: 04/25/2017] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Mineralization of the skeleton starts within cell-derived matrix vesicles (MVs); then, minerals propagate to the extracellular collagenous matrix. Tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) degrades inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), a potent inhibitor of mineralization, and contributes Pi (Phosphate) from ATP to initiate mineralization. Compared to the plasma membrane, MVs are rich in Cholesterol (Chol) (∼32%) and TNAP, but how Chol influences TNAP activity remains unclear. We have reconstituted TNAP in liposomes of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) or dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) combined with Chol or its derivatives Cholestenone (Achol) and Ergosterol (Ergo). DPPC plus 36% sterols in liposome increased the catalytic activity of TNAP toward ATP. The presence of Chol also increased the propagation of minerals by 3.4-fold. The catalytic efficiency of TNAP toward ATP was fourfold lower in DOPC proteoliposomes as compared to DPPC proteoliposomes. DOPC proteoliposomes also increased biomineralization by 2.8-fold as compared to DPPC proteoliposomes. TNAP catalyzed the hydrolysis of ATP more efficiently in the case of the proteoliposome consisting of DOPC with 36% Chol. The same behavior emerged with Achol and Ergo. The organization of the lipid and the structure of the sterol influenced the surface tension (γ), the TNAP phosphohydrolytic activity in the monolayer, and the TNAP catalytic efficiency in the bilayers. Membranes in the Lα phase (Achol) provided better kinetic parameters as compared to membranes in the Lo phase (Chol and Ergo). In conclusion, the physical properties and the lateral organization of lipids in proteoliposomes are crucial to control mineral propagation mediated by TNAP activity during mineralization.

Abstract
UV-vis spectroscopy is a powerful tool to investigate surface phenomena. Surface tension measurements coupled to spectroscopic techniques can help to elucidate how the interface organization influences the electronic properties of molecules. However, appreciable sample volumes are usually necessary to achieve strong signals during conduction of experiments. This study reports on the simultaneous acquisition of surface tension data and UV-vis spectra by axisymmetric drop shape analysis (ADSA) coupled to diffuse reflectance (DRUV) spectrophotometry using a pendant microliter-drop that requires small sample volumes and low analyte concentrations. Three example systems gave evidence of the applicability of this technique: (a) disaggregation of an organic dye driven by surfactant as a function of the surface tension and alterations in the UV-vis spectra, (b) activity of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored enzyme estimated from formation of a colored product, and (c) interaction between this enzyme and biomimetic membrane systems consisting of dipalmitoylphosphaditylcholine and cholestenone. Apart from using smaller sample volume, this coupled technique allowed to investigate interfacial organization in the light of electronic spectra obtained in loco within a shorter acquisition time. This procedure provided precise interfacial information about static and dynamic systems. This has been the first study describing the kinetic activity of an enzyme in the presence of phospholipid monolayers through simultaneous determination of the surface tension and UV-vis spectra.

Penetration of milk-derived antimicrobial peptides into phospholipid monolayers as model biomembranes. Biochem Res Int 2013; 2013:914540.

Abstract
Three antimicrobial peptides derived from bovine milk proteins were examined with regard to penetration into insoluble monolayers formed with 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) or 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-rac-(1-glycerol) sodium salt (DPPG). Effects on surface pressure (Π) and electric surface potential (ΔV) were measured, Π with a platinum Wilhelmy plate and ΔV with a vibrating plate. The penetration measurements were performed under stationary diffusion conditions and upon the compression of the monolayers. The two type measurements showed greatly different effects of the peptide-lipid interactions. Results of the stationary penetration show that the peptide interactions with DPPC monolayer are weak, repulsive, and nonspecific while the interactions with DPPG monolayer are significant, attractive, and specific. These results are in accord with the fact that antimicrobial peptides disrupt bacteria membranes (negative) while no significant effect on the host membranes (neutral) is observed. No such discrimination was revealed from the compression isotherms. The latter indicate that squeezing the penetrant out of the monolayer upon compression does not allow for establishing the penetration equilibrium, so the monolayer remains supersaturated with the penetrant and shows an under-equilibrium orientation within the entire compression range, practically.

Abstract
Tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) is associated to the plasma membrane via a GPI-anchor and plays a key role in the biomineralization process. In plasma membranes, most GPI-anchored proteins are associated with "lipid rafts", ordered microdomains enriched in sphingolipids, glycosphingolipids and cholesterol. In order to better understand the role of lipids present in rafts and their interactions with GPI-anchored proteins, the insertion of TNAP into different lipid raft models was studied using dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), cholesterol (Chol), sphingomyelin (SM) and ganglioside (GM1). Thus, the membrane models studied were binary systems (9:1 molar ratio) containing DPPC:Chol, DPPC:SM and DPPC:GM1, ternary systems (8:1:1 molar ratio) containing DPPC:Chol:SM, DPPC:Chol:GM1 and DPPC:SM:GM1 and finally, a quaternary system (7:1:1:1 molar ratio) containing DPPC:Chol:SM:GM1. Calorimetry analysis of the liposomes and proteoliposomes indicate that lateral phase segregation could be noted only in the presence of cholesterol, with the formation of cholesterol-rich microdomains centered above Tc=41.5°C. The presence of GM1 and SM into DPPC-liposomes influenced mainly ΔH and Δt(1/2) values. The gradual increase in the complexity of the systems decreased the activity of the enzyme incorporated. The presence of the enzyme also fluidifies the systems, as seen by the intense reduction in ∆H values, but do not alter Tc values significantly. Therefore, the study of different microdomains and its biophysical characterization may contribute to the knowledge of the interactions between the lipids present in MVs and its interactions with TNAP.

Abstract
Among the secondary metabolite lipopeptides produced by Bacillus subtilis, mycosubtilin is characterized by its strong antifungal activities. Even though its structure and its cellular target, the cytoplasmic membrane, have been determined, the molecular mechanisms of the biological activity of mycosubtilin have not been completely elucidated. In this work, the interactions between mycosubtilin and cytoplasmic membranes were modelled by using biomimetic systems such as Langmuir monolayers at the air-water interface and lipid multilamellar vesicles. The interactions of mycosubtilin with these biomimetic systems were examined, for the first time, by using specific techniques such as polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy, Brewster angle microscopy and high-resolution magic angle spinning NMR. Our findings indicate that mycosubtilin alone, at the air-water interface, forms a monolayer film and keeps its turn conformation. In the presence of DMPC, mycosubtilin binds to phospholipid monolayers, in a surface pressure-dependent manner. This binding results in the appearance of condensed domains which can be due to the formation of mycosubtilin clusters and/or to the lipopeptide aggregation with some phospholipid molecules and/or the formation of liquid-condensed domains of DMPC. Furthermore, in multilamellar vesicles, the mycosubtilin-DMPC interactions take place at the level of the aliphatic chains of the phospholipid because the phase transition temperature of DMPC decreased in the presence of mycosubtilin.

Interactions of Triton X-100 with sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine monolayers: influence of the cholesterol content. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2008; 66:163-7.

Abstract
The presence of microdomains, called lipid rafts, in biological membranes is usually explained by lateral segregation between specific lipids and proteins. These rafts present similarities with the membrane domains isolated by their non-ionic detergent-resistance at 4 degrees C. They are enriched in sphingomyelin and cholesterol as compared with the outer leaflet of eukaryotic cell membranes. To understand the role played by the lipids enriched in rafts in their resistance to solubilization by detergents, the interactions between these lipids and the non-ionic detergent Triton X-100 were studied by using different lipid monolayers at the air-water interface. The influence of Triton X-100 on the Langmuir isotherms (i.e. surface pressure/area isotherms) of monolayers containing sphingomyelin and cholesterol at different mole ratios was analyzed and the results were compared with the influence of Triton X-100 on monolayers containing a phosphatidylcholine bearing a saturated and an unsaturated fatty acid (i.e. palmitoyloleylphosphatidylcholine) and cholesterol. This phosphatidylcholine was chosen since the phosphatidylcholines present in rafts isolated from bovine kidney could contain about 50% of saturated fatty acids. Triton X-100 induces an increase in the condensing effect observed as compared with ideal mixture of phospholipid/cholesterol. Triton X-100-induced changes in the morphology of the monolayers were visualized by Brewster angle microscopy, which confirmed the differences of behavior observed by analyzing the isotherms.

Abstract
We report the effect of N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDA) on the interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine monolayers (DPPC) at the air-water interface. We prepared aqueous solutions of NDA/BSA complexes maintaining a constant concentration of BSA of 1.49 x 10(-9) M and using NDA concentrations to obtain 2000, 4000, 6000, 12,500, and 25,000 NDA/BSA molar ratios. The hysteresis area and the compressional modulus of the compression-expansion cycles performed at different times were dependent on the NDA concentration. The cycles performed demonstrate the stability of the new phase of DPPC/BSA and DPPC/NDA/BSA monolayers. This was achieved probably because the BSA concentration used was lower than the one needed for BSA to inhibit the return of DPPC molecules to the interface. Results of the compressional modulus at the onset of the new phase, obtained around 17 mN/m, 15 min and 1, 3, 5, and 12 h after DPPC deposition, indicated that the 3.0 x 10(-6) M NDA concentration produced a more rigid film, probably due to the higher alpha-helix content of BSA. AFM images were obtained for DPPC/BSA and two DPPC/NDA/BSA complexes. Our images show that 12,500 NDA/BSA molecules were mostly adsorbed in the liquid condensed phase. However, BSA molecules were distributed more homogeneously.

Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol (GPI)-anchored proteins preferentially localize in the most ordered regions of the cell plasma membrane. Acyl and alkyl chain composition of GPI anchors influence the association with the ordered domains. This suggests that, conversely, changes in the fluid and in the ordered domains lipid composition affect the interaction of GPI-anchored proteins with membrane microdomains. Validity of this hypothesis was examined by investigating the spontaneous insertion of the GPI-anchored intestinal alkaline phophatase (BIAP) into the solid (gel) phase domains of preformed supported membranes made of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine/dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC/DPPC), DOPC/sphingomyelin (DOPC/SM), and palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine/SM (POPC/SM). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed that BIAP inserted in the gel phases of the three mixtures. However, changes in the lipid composition of membranes had a marked effect on the protein containing bilayer topography. Moreover, BIAP insertion was associated with a net transfer of phospholipids from the fluid to the gel (DOPC/DPPC) or from the gel to the fluid (POPC/SM) phases. For DOPC/SM bilayers, transfer of lipids was dependent on the homogeneity of the gel SM phase. The data strongly suggest that BIAP interacts with the most ordered lipid species present in the gel phases of phase-separated membranes. They also suggest that GPI-anchored proteins might contribute to the selection of their own microdomain environment.

Abstract
Interfacial properties of N-nitrosodiethylamine/bovine serum albumin (NDA/BSA) complexes were investigated at the air-water interface. The interfacial behavior at the chloroform-water interface of the interaction product of phospholipid 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), dissolved in the chloroform phase, and NDA/BSA complex, in the aqueous phase, were also analyzed by using a drop tensiometer. The secondary structure changes of BSA with different NDA concentrations were monitored by circular dichroism spectroscopy at different pH and the NDA/BSA interaction was probed by fluorescence spectroscopy. Different NDA/BSA mixtures were prepared from 0, 7.5 x 10(-5), 2.2 x 10(-4), 3.7 x 10(-4), 5 x 10(-4), 1.6 x 10(-3), and 3.1 x 10(-3) M NDA solutions in order to afford 0, 300/1, 900/1, 1 500/1, 2 000/1, 6 000/1, and 12 500/1 NDA/BSA molar ratios, respectively, in the aqueous solutions. Increments of BSA alpha-helix contents were obtained up to the 2 000/1 NDA/BSA molar ratio, but at ratios beyond this value, the alpha-helix content practically disappeared. These BSA structure changes produced an increment of the surface pressure at the air-water interface, as the alpha-helix content increased with the concentration of NDA. On the contrary, when alpha-helix content decreased, the surface pressure also appeared lower than the one obtained with pure BSA solutions. The interaction of DPPC with NDA/BSA molecules at the chloroform-water interface produced also a small, but measurable, pressure increment with the addition of NDA molecules. Dynamic light scattering measurements of the molecular sizes of NDA/BSA complex at pH 4.6, 7.1, and 8.4 indicated that the size of extended BSA molecules at pH 4.6 increased in a greater proportion with the increment in NDA concentration than at the other studied pH values. Diffusion coefficients calculated from dynamic surface tension values, using a short-term solution of the general adsorption model of Ward and Tordai, also showed differences with pH and the NDA concentration. Both, the storage and loss dilatational elastic modulus were obtained at the air-water and at the chloroform-water interfaces. The interaction of NDA/BSA with DPPC at the chloroform-water produced a less rigid monolayer than the one obtained with pure DPPC (1 x 10(-5) M), indicating a significant penetration of NDA/BSA molecules at the interface. At short times and pH 4.6, the values of the storage elastic modulus were larger and more sensible to the NDA addition than the ones at pH 7.1 and 8.4, probably due to a gel-like network formation at the air-water interface.

Abstract
This work investigates the process of incorporation of a glycosylphosphatidyl inositol (GPI)-anchored alkaline phosphatase into Langmuir monolayers of dimyristoyl phosphatidic acid (DMPA). Three different methods of protein incorporation were assayed. When the protein solution was injected below the air-water interface after formation of the lipid monolayer a micro-heterogeneous distribution of alkaline phosphatase throughout the interface was observed. Adsorption kinetics studied by fluorescence microscopy, associated with surface pressure measurements, led to the proposition of a model in which the protein penetration is modulated by the surface packing of the monolayer and intermolecular interactions occurring between the phospholipid and the protein. At initial surface pressures higher than 20 m Nm(-1), the protein is quickly adsorbed on the interface and the lateral diffusion drives the alkyl chains to turn towards the air phase while the polypeptide moiety faces the aqueous subphase.
