Inducing Lipid Domains in Membranes by Self‐Assembly of DNA Origami

نویسندگان

چکیده

Self-assembly of biological molecules and structures is a fundamental property life. Whereas most functions are based on self-assembled proteins protein complexes, the self-assembly lipids important for spatial organization heterogeneous cellular reaction environments to catalyze cooperative interactions on/with membranes. Lipid domains or “rafts”, which known selectively recruit proteins, play an functional role in sorting trafficking membrane components between subcellular organelles. However, how recruitment turn contributes formation turnover these has not been systematically addressed, due large variety membrane–protein features their spatiotemporal dynamics. The small size transient nature lipid adds complexity visualizing them living cells. Here, DNA origami presented as programmable tool mimic clustering assembly membranes illustrate nanometer sized coalesce into visible upon defined patterns. Hence, local composition can be efficiently regulated by peripheral binders. This reinforces hypothesis that rafts cells occur result and, particular, self-assembly.

Coarsening dynamics of domains in lipid membranes.

We investigate isothermal diffusion and growth of micron-scale liquid domains within membranes of free-floating giant unilamellar vesicles with diameters between 80 and 250 μm. Domains appear after a rapid temperature quench, when the membrane is cooled through a miscibility phase transition such that coexisting liquid phases form. In membranes quenched far from a miscibility critical point, ci...

The concept of lipid domains in membranes

In the past two decades or so there has been considerable advance in our knowledge of membrane structure. The fluid mosaic model of Singer and Nicolson (1) has had great heuristic value in thinking about membrane topology. In this model both proteins and lipids are free to diffuse in the bilayer, implying a random organization of protein and lipid. However, experimental evidence in diverse type...

Characterization of lipid domains in erythrocyte membranes.

Fluorescence digital imaging microscopy was used to study the lateral distribution of the lipid components in erythrocyte membranes. Intact erythrocytes labeled with phospholipids containing a fluorophore attached to one fatty acid chain showed an uneven distribution of the phospholipids in the membrane thereby demonstrating the presence of membrane domains. The enrichment of the lipotropic com...

Formation and analysis of topographical domains between lipid membranes tethered by DNA hybrids of different lengths.

We recently described a strategy to prepare DNA-tethered lipid membranes either to fixed DNA on a surface or to DNA displayed on a supported bilayer [Boxer et al., J. Struct. Biol., 2009, 168, 190; Boxer et al., Langmuir, 2011, 27, 5492]. With the latter system, the DNA hybrids are laterally mobile; when orthogonal sense-antisense pairs of different lengths are used, the DNA hybrids segregate b...

Selfassembly of metallic nanoparticle arrays by DNA scaffolding

We report the self-assembly of metallic nanoparticle arrays using DNA crystals as a programmable molecular scaffolding. Gold nanoparticles, 1.4 nm in diameter, are assembled in two-dimensional arrays with interparticle spacings of 4 and 64 nm. The nanoparticles form precisely integrated components, which are covalently bonded to the DNA scaffolding. These results show that heterologous chemical...
