The information obtained using fluorescence spectral Laurdan properties indicates that L- Arg produces a decrease in the polarizability of saturated lipids congruent with the increase in vesicle size and area per lipid.

The two opposite effects can be modulated by the saturated and unsaturated ratio and are independent of carbonyl groups. This modulation is damped by cholesterol. The differences in the L-Arg insertion can be explained considering that in the presence of the double bond, L-Arg decreases the organized water in the lipid matrix without expanding the bilayer.

Bacterial pathogens utilize iron as a cofactor to drive essential metabolic processes, and the primary prokaryotic Fe<sup>2+</sup> acquisition mechanism is the ferrous iron transport (Feo) system. In V. cholerae, the Feo system comprises two cytosolic proteins (FeoA, FeoC) and a complex, polytopic transmembrane protein (FeoB) that is regulated by an N-terminal soluble domain (NFeoB) with promiscuous NTPase activity. While the soluble components of the Feo system have been frequently studied, very few reports exist on the intact membrane protein FeoB. Moreover, FeoB has been characterize almost exclusively in detergent micelles that can cause protein misfolding, disrupt protein oligomerization, and even dramatically alter protein function. As many of these characteristics of FeoB remain unclear, there is a critical need to characterize FeoB in a more native-like lipid environment. To address this unmet need, we employ styrene-maleic acid (SMA) copolymers to isolate and to characterize V. cholerae FeoB (VcFeoB) encapsulated by a styrene-maleic acid lipid particle (SMALP). In this work, we describe the development of a workflow for the expression and the purification of VcFeoB in a SMALP. Leveraging mass photometry, we explore the oligomerization of FeoB in a lipid bilayer and show that the VcFeoB-SMALP is mostly monomeric, consistent with our previous oligomerization observations in surfo. Finally, we characterize the NTPase activity of VcFeoB in the SMALP and in a detergent (DDM), revealing higher NTPase activity in the presence of the lipid bilayer. When taken together, this report represents the first characterization of any FeoB in a native-like lipid bilayer and provides a viable approach for the future structural characterization of FeoB.</p>","PeriodicalId":8831,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et biophysica acta.

The platelet plasma membrane contains two types of lipids nanodomains: ordered, enriched in SM and cholesterol, and disordered, enriched in ARA-containing lipids.

The envelope E protein, a membrane fusion protein, is accountable for fusion and encompasses different domains involved in the fusion mechanism, including the fusion peptide segment. In this work we have used molecular dynamics to study the interaction of the distal end of domain II of the DENV envelope E protein with a membrane like the late endosomal membrane in order to observe the initiation of membrane fusion carried out by a number of trimers of the DENV envelope E protein interacting with a complex biomembrane and demonstrate its feasibility.

When grown in the presence of oleic acid, the cultures exhibited a transition significantly above the growth temperature, attributed to the presence of glycolipids with long-chain fatty acids causing acyl chain packing frustration within the bilayer. Functional aspects of the membrane were assessed by studying the kinetics of dye release from unilamellar vesicles induced by the antimicrobial peptide mastoparan X. Dye release was slower from liposomes prepared from cells grown in oleic acid-supplemented cultures, suggesting that changes in membrane lipid composition and biophysics protect the cell membrane against peptide-induced lysis.
