X-ray studies on the interaction of the antimicrobial peptide gramicidin S with microbial lipid extracts: evidence for cubic phase formation.
We have investigated the effect of the interaction of the antimicrobial peptide gramicidin S (GS) on the thermotropic phase behavior of model lipid bilayer membranes generated from the total membrane lipids of Acholeplasma laidlawii B and Escherichia coli. The A. laidlawii B membrane lipids consist primarily of neutral glycolipids and anionic phospholipids, while the E. coli inner membrane lipi...
متن کاملMembrane Thinning and Thickening Induced by Membrane-Active Amphipathic Peptides
Membrane thinning has been discussed as a fundamental mechanism by which antimicrobial peptides can perturb cellular membranes. To understand which factors play a role in this process, we compared several amphipathic peptides with different structures, sizes and functions in their influence on the lipid bilayer thickness. PGLa and magainin 2 from X. laevis were studied as typical representative...
متن کاملMechanism of interaction of different classes of cationic antimicrobial peptides with planar bilayers and with the cytoplasmic membrane of Escherichia coli.
Antimicrobial cationic peptides are prevalent throughout nature as part of the intrinsic defenses of most organisms, and have been proposed as a blueprint for the design of novel antimicrobial agents. They are known to interact with membranes, and it has been frequently proposed that this represents their antibacterial target. To see if this was a general mechanism of action, we studied the int...
متن کاملLipid cubic phase as a membrane mimetic for integral membrane protein enzymes.
The lipidic cubic mesophase has been used to crystallize important membrane proteins for high-resolution structure determination. To date, however, no integral membrane enzymes have yielded to this method, the in meso. For a crystal structure to be meaningful the target protein must be functional. Using the in meso method with a membrane enzyme requires that the protein is active in the mesopha...
متن کاملThe interaction of the antimicrobial peptide gramicidin S with lipid bilayer model and biological membranes.
Gramicidin S (GS) is a cyclic decapeptide of primary structure [cyclo-(Val-Orn-Leu-D-Phe-Pro)(2)] secreted by Bacillus brevis. It is a powerful antimicrobial agent with potent cidal action on a wide variety of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as well as on several pathogenic fungi. Unfortunately, however, GS is rather non-specific in its actions and also exhibits a high hemolytic activi...
