SVCT1 and 2 actively transport the reduced form of Vitamin C, ascorbic acid, into key tissues. The recent structure of the mouse SVCT1 revealed the molecular basis of substrate binding and that, like the other structurally characterised members of the NAT family, it exists as a closely associated dimer. SVCT1 is likely to function via the elevator mechanism with the core domain of each protomer able to bind substrate and move through the membrane carrying the substrate across the membrane. Here we explored the function of a range of variants of the human SVCT1, revealing a range of residues involved in substrate selection and binding, and confirming the importance of the C-terminus in membrane localisation. Furthermore, using a dominant negative mutant we show that the dimer is essential for transport function, as previously seen in the fungal homologue, UapA.

The fluorescence intensities of amphiphilic probe Prodan and hydrophobic probe Laurdan in the dipalmitoyl-PC (DPPC) bilayer steeply decreased and increased, respectively, at the interdigitation, suggesting that the conformational change of the polar head group of DPPC molecule in the bilayer transiently occurred at the interdigitation.

Taking account of the critical packing parameter of the PC molecule, the above experimental results would lead us to the conclusion that the pressure-induced interdigitation is attributable to the increase in repulsive interaction between the polar head groups of the PC molecules resulting from the orientational change of the head group from a parallel alignment to a perpendicular one with respect to the bilayer surface by applying pressure, namely the transient state: it occurs when the repulsive interaction exceeds a threshold value for the balance between the repulsive interaction and the attractive interaction among the hydrophobic acyl chains.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8831,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et biophysica acta.

The voltage required to trigger inactivation is above the potential to form channels, and, like with channel activation, this threshold reduces with increasing peptide concentration and membrane fluidity. Since similar monazomycin channels inactivate via channel break up and translocation, we hypothesized that inactivation of alamethicin channels occurs via the same mechanism. Our data prove this hypothesis to be true through two experiments. First, we show that inactivation of channels at positive voltages when peptides are supplied to only the <em>cis</em> side correlates to new channel activity on the <em>trans</em> side at negative potentials. This result indicates translocation of alamethicin peptides occurs only during voltage-induced inactivation. Second, we measured the ratio of steady-state (with inactivation) to ideal (without inactivation) conductance versus voltage for membranes with equal amounts of alamethicin on both sides and used these values to quantify alamethicin flux. Plotting flux versus steady-state conductance across multiple alamethicin concentrations shows a single linear dependence, signifying that translocated peptides originate from active channels that break up under prolonged voltage. Given the frequent use of alamethicin as model ion channels, these results add important understanding of their kinetic responses when subjected to prolonged, high voltages.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8831,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et biophysica acta.

In such a case, important insight can be gained via computer modeling. Here, NDs composed of lipid's head groups in the mixed zwitterionic dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) and negatively charged dioleoylphosphatidylserine (DOPS) bilayers were studied by molecular dynamics. A new algorithm has been developed to identify NDs. Unlike most similar methods, it implicitly considers the heterogeneous distribution of lipid head atomic density and does not require subjectively chosen parameters. In DOPS-rich membranes, lipids form more compact and stable NDs due to strong interlipid interactions. In DOPC-rich systems, NDs arise due to the “packing” effect of weakly bound lipid heads. The clustering picture is related to the physical properties of the bilayer surface: DOPS-rich systems show more pronounced surface heterogeneity of hydrophilic/hydrophobic regions compared to DOPC-rich ones. The results obtained are important for the effective quantitative characterization of the “dynamic molecular portrait” of a membrane surface – its “fingerprint” characterizing dynamical distribution of its physicochemical properties.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8831,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et biophysica acta.

We also demonstrated that adding 15 mol% C<sub>25,25</sub> to SM/CH mixture will cause it to notably interact with fetal bovine serum which could make them a viable alternative adjuvant to synthetic ether-linked lipids in development of advanced liposomal vaccine delivery systems. The prospect of combining the proven strengths of SM/CH mixtures with the unique properties of C<sub>25,25</sub> opens exciting possibilities for advancing drug delivery technologies, promising to yield formulations that are both highly effective and adaptable to a range of therapeutic applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8831,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et biophysica acta.
