Benzohydroxamate and nitrobenzohydroxamate affect membrane order: Correlations between spectroscopic and molecular dynamics to approach tuberculosis. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA.

Abstract
This work correlates the effects of benzohydroxamate (BH) and nitrobenzohydroxamate (NBH) anions in two membrane models which may be used for anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) spectroscopic studies and/or computational studies. Firstly, the BH and NBH influence in the physico-chemical properties of soy asolectin (ASO)-based large multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) were evaluated by spectroscopic and calorimetric studies. In parallel, the BH and NBH interaction with a Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) inner membrane model, composed of phosphatidyl-myo-inositol-dimannoside (PIM2), was investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Spectroscopic data showed a localization of BH close to the lipid phosphate group, while NBH was found close to the choline region. The BH ordered the ASO choline, phosphate and carbonyl regions and disrupted the acyl methylenes, reducing the membrane packing of the lipid hydrophobic region. On the other hand, NBH showed an ordering effect in all the lipid groups (polar, interface and hydrophobic ones). By MD studies, it was found that NBH enhanced the stability of the PIM2 membrane more than BH, while also being positioned closer to its mannosyl oxygens. As in ASO MLVs, BH was localized close to the PIM2 phosphate group and disrupted its acyl chains. However, higher values of lateral diffusion were observed for NBH than BH. Despite this, BH and NBH increased the membrane thickness by 35 %, which suggests a global ordering effect of both drugs. Findings of this work reinforce the accordance and complementarity between MLVs based on ASO and the PIM2 MD model results to study the drug effects in Mtb membrane properties.

Abstract
The chain melting of lipid bilayers has often been investigated in detail using calorimetric methods, such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the resultant main transition temperature is regarded as one of the most important parameters in model membrane experiments. However, it is not always clear whether the hydrocarbon chains of lipids are gradually melting along the depth of the lipid bilayer or whether they all melt concurrently in a very narrow temperature range, as implied by DSC. In this study, we focused on stearoyl-d-sphingomyelin (SSM) as an example of raft-forming lipids. We synthesized deuterium-labeled SSMs at the 4', 10', and 16' positions, and their depth-dependent melting was measured using solid-state deuterium NMR by changing the temperature by 1.0 °C, and comparing with that observed from a saturated lipid, palmitoylstearoylphosphatidylcholine (PSPC). The results showed that SSM exhibited a characteristic depth-dependent melting, which was not observed for PSPC. The strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the sphingomyelin amide moiety probably caused the chain melting to start from the chain terminus through the middle part and end in the upper part. This depth-dependent melting implies that the small gel-like domains of SSM remain at temperatures slightly above the main transition temperature. These sphingomyelin features may be responsible for the biological properties of SM-based lipid rafts.

Abstract
A single particle observation of quantum dots (QDs) was performed on lipid bilayers formed on graphene oxide (GO). The long-range fluorescence quenching of GO has been applied to biosensing for various biomolecules. We demonstrated the single particle observation of a QD on supported lipid bilayers in this study, aiming to detect the quenching efficiency of lipid and protein molecules in a lipid bilayer by fluorescence single particle tacking (SPT). A single lipid bilayer or double lipid bilayers were formed on GO flakes deposited on a thermally oxidized silicon substrate by the vesicle fusion method. The QDs were conjugated on the lipid bilayers, and single particle images of the QDs were obtained under the quenching effect of GO. The quenching efficiency of a single QD was evaluated from the fluorescence intensities on the regions with and without GO. The quenching efficiency reflecting the layer numbers of the lipid bilayers was obtained.

Abstract
Lipid molecules such as glycolipids that are modified with hydrophilic biopolymers participate in the biochemical reactions occurring on cell membranes. Their functions and efficiency are determined by the formation of microdomains and their physical properties. We investigated the morphology and properties of domains induced by the hydrophilic-polymer-modified lipid applying a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified lipid as a model modified lipid. We formed supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) using a 0-10 mol % range of PEG-modified lipid concentration ( CPEG). We studied their morphology and fluidity by fluorescence microscopy, the fluorescence recovery after photobleaching method, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Fluorescence images showed that domains rich in the PEG-modified lipid appeared and SLB fluidity decreased when CPEG ≥ 5%. AFM topographies showed that clusters of the PEG-modified lipid appeared prior to domain formation and the PEG-lipid-rich domains were observed as depressions. Frequency-modulation AFM revealed a force-dependent appearance of the PEG-lipid-rich domain.

Abstract
Nanoscale membrane curvature in cells is critical for endocytosis/exocytosis and membrane trafficking. However, the biophysical ramifications of nanoscale membrane curvature on the behavior of lipids remain poorly understood. Here, we created an experimental model system of membrane curvature at a physiologically-relevant scale and obtained nanoscopic information on single-lipid distributions and dynamics. Supported lipid bilayers were created over 50 and 70 nm radius nanoparticles to create membrane buds. Single-molecule localization microscopy was performed with diverse mixtures of fluorescent and non-fluorescent lipids. Variations in lipid acyl tales length, saturation, head-group, and fluorescent labeling strategy were tested while maintaining a single fluid lipid phase throughout the membrane. Monte Carlo simulations were used to fit our experimental results and quantify the effects of curvature on the lipid diffusion and sorting. Whereas varying the composition of the non-fluorescent lipids yielded minimal changes to the curvature effects, the labeling strategy of the fluorescent lipids yielded highly varying effects of curvature. Most conditions yield single-population Brownian diffusion throughout the membrane; however, curvature-induced lipid sorting, slowing, and aggregation were observed in some conditions. Head-group labeled lipids such as DPPE-Texas Red and POPE-Rhodamine diffused >2.4× slower on the curved vs. the planar membranes; tail-labeled lipids such as NBD-PPC, TopFluor-PPC, and TopFluor-PIP2, as well as DiIC12 and DiIC18 displayed no significant changes in diffusion due to the membrane curvature. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Emergence of Complex Behavior in Biomembranes edited by Marjorie Longo.

Abstract
The solid-substrate-dependent structure and dynamics of molecules in a supported lipid bilayer (SLB) were directly investigated via atomic force microscopy (AFM) and single particle tracking (SPT) measurements. The appearance of either vertical or horizontal heterogeneities in the SLB was found to be strongly dependent on the underlying substrates. SLB has been widely used as a biointerface with incorporated proteins and other biological materials. Both silica and mica are popular substrates for SLB. Using single-molecule dynamics, the fluidity of the upper and lower membrane leaflets was found to depend on the substrate, undergoing coupling and decoupling on the SiO2/Si and mica substrates, respectively. The anisotropic diffusion caused by the locally destabilized structure of the SLB at atomic steps appeared on the Al2O3(0001) substrate because of the strong van der Waals interaction between the SLB and the substrate. Our finding that the well-defined surfaces of mica and sapphire result in asymmetry and anisotropy in the plasma membrane is useful for the design of new plasma-membrane-mimetic systems. The application of well-defined supporting substrates for SLBs should have similar effects as cell membrane scaffolds, which regulate the dynamic structure of the membrane.

Abstract
Lateral movement of a molecule in a biomembrane containing small compartments (0.23-μm diameter) and large ones (0.75 μm) is analyzed using a fractal description of its walk. The early time dependence of the mean square displacement varies from linear due to the contribution of ballistic motion. In small compartments, walking molecules do not have sufficient time or space to develop an asymptotic relation and the diffusion coefficient deduced from the experimental records is lower than that measured without restrictions. The model makes it possible to deduce the molecule step parameters, namely the step length and time, from data concerning confined and unrestricted diffusion coefficients. This is also possible using experimental results for sub-diffusive transport. The transition from normal to anomalous diffusion does not affect the molecule step parameters. The experimental literature data on molecular trajectories recorded at a high time resolution appear to confirm the modeled value of the mean free path length of DOPE for Brownian and anomalous diffusion. Although the step length and time give the proper values of diffusion coefficient, the DOPE speed calculated as their quotient is several orders of magnitude lower than the thermal speed. This is interpreted as a result of intermolecular interactions, as confirmed by lateral diffusion of other molecules in different membranes. The molecule step parameters are then utilized to analyze the problem of multiple visits in small compartments. The modeling of the diffusion exponent results in a smooth transition to normal diffusion on entering a large compartment, as observed in experiments.

Abstract
Lipid membranes can incorporate amphiphilic or polyphilic molecules leading to specific functionalities and to adaptable properties of the lipid bilayer host. The insertion of guest molecules into membranes frequently induces changes in the shape of the lipid matrix that can be visualized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. Here, we review the use of stained and vitrified specimens in (cryo)TEM to characterize the morphology of amphiphilic and polyphilic molecules upon insertion into phospholipid model membranes. Special emphasis is placed on the impact of novel synthetic amphiphilic and polyphilic bolalipids and polymers on membrane integrity and shape stability.

Abstract
We measured the transbilayer diffusion of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) in large unilamellar vesicles, in both the gel (Lβ') and fluid (Lα) phases. The choline resonance of headgroup-protiated DPPC exchanged into the outer leaflet of headgroup-deuterated DPPC-d13 vesicles was monitored using 1H NMR spectroscopy, coupled with the addition of a paramagnetic shift reagent. This allowed us to distinguish between the inner and outer bilayer leaflet of DPPC, to determine the flip-flop rate as a function of temperature. Flip-flop of fluid-phase DPPC exhibited Arrhenius kinetics, from which we determined an activation energy of 122 kJ mol-1. In gel-phase DPPC vesicles, flip-flop was not observed over the course of 250 h. Our findings are in contrast to previous studies of solid-supported bilayers, where the reported DPPC translocation rates are at least several orders of magnitude faster than those in vesicles at corresponding temperatures. We reconcile these differences by proposing a defect-mediated acceleration of lipid translocation in supported bilayers, where long-lived, submicron-sized holes resulting from incomplete surface coverage are the sites of rapid transbilayer movement.
