pH-dependent formation of membranous cytoplasmic body-like structure of ganglioside G(M1)/bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate mixed membranes.

چکیده
Membrane structures of the mixtures of ganglioside G(M1) and endosome specific lipid, bis (monoacylglycero) phosphate (BMP, also known as lysobisphosphatidic acid) were examined at various pH conditions by freeze-fracture electron microscopy and small-angle x-ray scattering. At pH 8.5-6.5, a G(M1)/BMP (1:1 mol/mol) mixture formed small vesicular aggregates, whereas the mixture formed closely packed lamellar structures under acidic conditions (pH 5.5, 4.6) with the lamellar repeat distance of 8.06 nm. Since BMP alone exhibits a diffuse lamellar structure at a broad range of pH values and G(M1) forms a micelle, the results indicate that both G(M1) and BMP are required to produce closely stacked multilamellar vesicles. These vesicles resemble membranous cytoplasmic bodies in cells derived from patients suffering from G(M1) gangliosidosis. Similar to G(M1) gangliosidosis, cholesterol was trapped in BMP vesicles in G(M1)- and in a low pH-dependent manner. Studies employing different gangliosides and a G(M1) analog suggest the importance of sugar chains and a sialic acid of G(M1) in the pH-dependent structural change of G(M1)/BMP membranes.

Dengue Virus Ensures Its Fusion in Late Endosomes Using Compartment-Specific Lipids
Many enveloped viruses invade cells via endocytosis and use different environmental factors as triggers for virus-endosome fusion that delivers viral genome into cytosol. Intriguingly, dengue virus (DEN), the most prevalent mosquito-borne virus that infects up to 100 million people each year, fuses only in late endosomes, while activation of DEN protein fusogen glycoprotein E is triggered alrea...
متن کاملDegradation of bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate by an acid phosphodiesterase in rat liver lysosomes.
Bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate was purified from the livers of chloroquine-treated rats and labeled with tritium by a nonreductive catalytic exchange procedure. The mechanism of its degradation by rat liver lysosomes has been examined. A substantial amount of bis(monoacylglycero)P is degraded to monoglyceride and lysophosphatidic acid by a lysosomal phosphodiesterase having an acid pH optimum. S...

To further elucidate the role of bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate in lysosomes, its metabolism was assessed by incubation of intact and disrupted macrophages in the presence of labeled lipid precursors. In rabbit pulmonary macrophages bis(monoacylglycero)P accounted for 17.9% and acylphosphatidylglycerol for 2.6% of phospholipid phosphorus. Major fatty acids in bis(monoacylglycero)P were oleic (47...

Gangliosides are the main glycolipids of neuronal plasma membranes. Their surface patterns are generated by coordinated processes, involving biosynthetic pathways of the secretory compartments, catabolic steps of the endolysosomal system, and intracellular trafficking. Inherited defects in ganglioside biosynthesis causing fatal neurodegenerative diseases have been described so far almost exclus...

Mixed monolayers of the ganglioside G(M1) and the lipid dipalmitoylphosphatidlycholine (DPPC) at air-water and solid-air interfaces were investigated using various biophysical techniques to ascertain the location and phase behavior of the ganglioside molecules in a mixed membrane. The effects induced by G(M1) on the mean molecular area of the binary mixtures and the phase behavior of DPPC were ...
