High-resolution structure of coexisting nanoscopic and microscopic lipid domains.
We studied coexisting micro- and nanoscopic liquid-ordered/liquid-disordered domains in fully hydrated multilamellar vesicles using small-angle X-ray scattering. Large domains exhibited long-range out-of-plane positional correlations of like domains, consistent with previous reports. In contrast, such correlations were absent in nanoscopic domains. Advancing a global analysis of the in situ dat...
متن کاملBending Rigidities and Interdomain Forces in Membranes with Coexisting Lipid Domains.
To precisely quantify the fundamental interactions between heterogeneous lipid membranes with coexisting liquid-ordered (Lo) and liquid-disordered (Ld) domains, we performed detailed osmotic stress small-angle x-ray scattering experiments by exploiting the domain alignment in raft-mimicking lipid multibilayers. Performing a Monte Carlo-based analysis allowed us to determine with high reliabilit...
متن کاملPartitioning of membrane-anchored DNA between coexisting lipid phases.
The partitioning of different cholesterol-modified single-stranded DNA molecules (chol-DNAs) between the domains of phase-separated lipid vesicles is investigated by laser-scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy. All chol-DNAs studied preferentially localized into the fluid phase of giant vesicles in liquid-solid phase coexistence (1:1 DLPC:DPPC, 1:1 DLPC:DMPE). Partitioning behavior of chol-...
متن کاملPhase diagrams and lipid domains in multicomponent lipid bilayer mixtures.
Understanding the phase behavior of biological membranes is helped by the study of more simple systems. Model membranes that have as few as 3 components exhibit complex phase behavior that can be well described, providing insight for biological membranes. A number of different studies are in agreement on general findings for some compositional phase diagrams, in particular, those that model the...
متن کاملLipid binding domains: more than simple lipid effectors.
The spatial and temporal regulation of lipid molecules in cell membranes is a hallmark of cellular signaling and membrane trafficking events. Lipid-mediated targeting provides for strict control and versatility, because cell membranes harbor a large number of lipid molecules with variation in head group and acyl chain structures. Signaling and trafficking proteins contain a large number of modu...
