Interaction of a hydrophobic model peptide and its fatty acid derivative with lipid vesicles.

چکیده
The interaction of a peptide [Lys-Phe-Phe-Phe-Ile-Ile-Trp-OCH3] and its fatty acid derivatives [Lys-(epsilon-palmitoyl)-Phe-Phe-Phe-Ile-Ile-Trp-OCH3 and Lys-(epsilon-12-(9-anthroyloxy)stearic acid)-Phe-Phe-Phe-Ile-Ile-OCH3] with model membranes was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. The emission characteristics of the Trp fluorophore indicated that only the peptide with the fatty acid chain is associated with lipid vesicles. Quenching experiments with spin probes suggest an orientation for the fatty acylated peptide wherein the fatty acid chain is perpendicular to the bilayer surface and the peptide chain parallel to the bilayer surface.

متن کاملInfluence of lipid composition on pediocin PA-1 binding to phospholipid vesicles.
Pediocin PA-1 bound to anionic lipid vesicles with saturated or unsaturated fatty acid chains in a lipid concentration-dependent fashion. Little change in binding parameters was observed for zwitterionic lipid vesicles. Decreasing the anionic lipid content of the vesicles gave a higher relative dissociation constant for the peptide-lipid interactions and further supports the electrostatic inter...
متن کاملThe effect of Zn(2+) on the secondary structure of a histidine-rich fusogenic peptide and its interaction with lipid membranes.
Membrane fusion between uncharged lipid vesicles can be triggered by the peptide sequence 'B18' from the fertilization protein 'bindin', but it only proceeds efficiently in the presence of Zn(2+) ions. We studied (i) the interaction of Zn(2+) with the fusogenic peptide B18, (ii) the binding of B18 to 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoylglycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC), and (iii) the ternary system POPC/B18/Zn(2...
