Influence of lipid composition on pediocin PA-1 binding to phospholipid vesicles.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pediocin PA-1 bound to anionic lipid vesicles with saturated or unsaturated fatty acid chains in a lipid concentration-dependent fashion. Little change in binding parameters was observed for zwitterionic lipid vesicles. Decreasing the anionic lipid content of the vesicles gave a higher relative dissociation constant for the peptide-lipid interactions and further supports the electrostatic interaction model of binding.

Electrostatic interactions, but not the YGNGV consensus motif, govern the binding of pediocin PA-1 and its fragments to phospholipid vesicles.
The purpose of this study was to characterize in detail the binding of pediocin PA-1 and its fragments to target membranes by using tryptophan fluorescence as a probe. Based on a three-dimensional model (Y. Chen, R. Shapira, M. Eisenstein, and T. J. Montville, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 63:524-531, 1997), four synthetic N-terminal pediocin fragments were selected to study the mechanism of the in...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of pediocin PA-1 binding to liposomes in the absence of a protein receptor and its relationship to a predicted tertiary structure.
The physicochemical interaction of pediocin PA-1 with target membranes was characterized using lipid vesicles made from the total lipids extracted from Listeria monocytogenes. Pediocin PA-1 caused the time- and concentration-dependent release of entrapped carboxyfluorescein (CF) from the vesicles. The pediocin-induced CF efflux rates were higher under acidic conditions than under neutral and al...
متن کاملPediocin PA-1, a bacteriocin from Pediococcus acidilactici PAC1.0, forms hydrophilic pores in the cytoplasmic membrane of target cells.
Pediocin PA-1 is a bacteriocin which is produced by Pediococcus acidilactici PAC1.0. We demonstrate that pediocin PA-1 kills sensitive Pediococcus cells and acts on the cytoplasmic membrane. In contrast to its lack of impact on immune cells, pediocin PA-1 dissipates the transmembrane electrical potential and inhibits amino acid transport in sensitive cells. Pediocin interferes with the uptake o...
متن کاملInfluence of membrane phospholipid composition and structural organization on spontaneous lipid transfer between membranes.
Investigations were carried out on the influence of phospholipid composition of model membranes on the processes of spontaneous lipid transfer between membranes. Acceptor vesicles were prepared from phospholipids extracted from plasma membranes of control and ras-transformed fibroblasts. Acceptor model membranes with manipulated levels of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), sphingomyelin and phospha...
متن کاملMembrane-binding properties of phospholipase C-beta1 and phospholipaseC-beta2: role of the C-terminus and effects of polyphosphoinositides, G-proteins and Ca2+.
We have studied the binding of two G-protein-regulated phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes, PLCs-beta1 and -beta2, to membrane surfaces using sucrose-loaded bilayer phospholipid vesicles of varying compositions. Neither enzyme binds appreciably to pure phosphatidylcholine vesicles at lipid concentrations up to 10(-3) M. PLC-beta1 and PLC-beta2 bind vesicles composed of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatid...
