Lipid asymmetry induced by transmembrane pH gradients in large unilamellar vesicles.
We have investigated the influence of transmembrane pH gradients across large unilamellar vesicle membranes on the transbilayer distributions of simple lipids with weak base and weak acid characteristics. Trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid labeling results consistent with a rapid and complete migration of stearylamine and sphingosine to the inner monolayer of the large unilamellar vesicles are observ...
متن کاملPhospholipid asymmetry in large unilamellar vesicles induced by transmembrane pH gradients.
The influence of membrane pH gradients on the transbilayer distribution of some common phospholipids has been investigated. We demonstrate that the transbilayer equilibrium of the acidic phospholipids egg phosphatidylglycerol (EPG) and egg phosphatidic acid (EPA) can be manipulated by membrane proton gradients, whereas phosphatidylethanolamine, a zwitterionic phospholipid, remains equally distr...
متن کاملTransbilayer transport of phosphatidic acid in response to transmembrane pH gradients.
Preliminary studies have shown that asymmetric transbilayer distributions of phosphatidic acid (PA) can be induced by transmembrane pH gradients (delta pH) in large unilamellar vesicles [Hope et al. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 4181-4187]. Here the mechanism of PA transport is examined employing TNS as a fluorescent probe of lipid asymmetry. It is shown that the kinetics of PA transport are consiste...
متن کاملInfluence of transbilayer area asymmetry on the morphology of large unilamellar vesicles.
The morphological consequences of differences in the monolayer surface areas of large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) have been examined employing cryoelectron microscopy techniques. Surface area was varied by inducing net transbilayer transport of dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol (DOPG) in dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC):DOPG (9:1, mol:mol) LUVs in response to transmembrane pH gradients. It is show...
متن کاملInfluence of ion gradients on the transbilayer distribution of dibucaine in large unilamellar vesicles.
The uptake of dibucaine into large unilamellar vesicles in response to proton gradients (delta pH; inside acidic) or membrane potentials (delta psi; inside negative) has been investigated. Dibucaine uptake in response to delta pH proceeds rapidly in a manner consistent with permeation of the neutral (deprotonated) form of the drug, reaching a Henderson-Hasselbach equilibrium where [dibucaine]in...
