Pulmonary surfactant protein A interacts with gel-like regions in monolayers of pulmonary surfactant lipid extract.
Epifluorescence microscopy was used to investigate the interaction of pulmonary surfactant protein A (SP-A) with spread monolayers of porcine surfactant lipid extract (PSLE) containing 1 mol % fluorescent probe (NBD-PC) spread on a saline subphase (145 mM NaCl, 5 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.9) containing 0, 0.13, or 0.16 microg/ml SP-A and 0, 1.64, or 5 mM CaCl(2). In the absence of SP-A, no differences ...
متن کاملAlzheimer Aβ peptide interactions with lipid membranes
Fibrillar aggregates of misfolded amyloid proteins are involved in a variety of diseases such as Alzheimer disease (AD), type 2 diabetes, Parkinson, Huntington and prion-related diseases. In the case of AD amyloid β (Aβ) peptides, the toxicity of amyloid oligomers and larger fibrillar aggregates is related to perturbing the biological function of the adjacent cellular membrane. We used atomisti...
متن کاملSurfactant lipid peroxidation damages surfactant protein A and inhibits interactions with phospholipid vesicles.
The goal of these studies was to examine the effect of lipid peroxidation (LPO) on the function of surfactant protein A (SP-A). First, the optimal dialysis conditions for quantitative removal of EDTA and redoxactive metals from reagents were established. Surfactant phospholipids were incubated with free radical generators in the absence or presence of the SP-A or with BSA as a control. We found...
متن کاملShape affects the interactions of nanoparticles with pulmonary surfactant.
The interactions with the pulmonary surfactant, the initial biological barrier of respiratory pathway, determine the potential therapeutic applications and toxicological effects of inhaled nanoparticles (NPs). Although much attention has been paid to optimize the physicochemical properties of NPs for improved delivery and targeting, shape effects of the inhaled NPs on their interactions with th...
متن کاملSpectroscopic Probe Analysis of Protein-Surfactant Interactions: The BSNSDS System
The interactions and structure of complexes formed between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate has been investigated by spectroscopic probe techniques. Steady state and time-resolved fluorescence, electron spin resonance, and deuterium NMR spectroscopy have been employed as a multitechnique approach to investigate the structures which occur along the pro...
