Phase separation in binary mixtures of bipolar and monopolar lipid dispersions revealed by 2H NMR spectroscopy, small angle x-ray scattering, and molecular theory.


ABSTRACT: Binary mixtures of C(20)BAS and POPC membranes were studied by solid-state (2)H NMR spectroscopy and small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) over a wide range of concentrations and at different temperatures. Three specifically deuterated C(20)BAS derivatives--[1',1',20',20'-(2)H(4)]C(20)BAS, [2',2',19',19'-(2)H(4)]C(20)BAS, and [10',11'-(2)H(2)]C(20)BAS--combined with protiated 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC), as well as membranes containing POPC-d(31) and fully protiated bolalipid, were used in NMR experiments to obtain structural information for the mixtures. The (2)H NMR spectra of [10',11'-(2)H(2)]C(20)BAS/POPC membrane dispersions reveal that the bolalipid is predominantly in the transmembrane conformation at high bolalipid concentrations (100, 90, and 70 mol %). At < or =50 mol % C(20)BAS, smaller quadrupolar couplings appear in the spectra, indicating the presence of U-shaped conformers. The proportion of U-shaped bolalipids increases as the amount of POPC in the membrane increases; however, the transmembrane component remains the dominant bolalipid conformation in the membrane even at 45 degrees C and 10 mol % C(20)BAS, where it accounts for approximately 50% of the bolalipid population. The large fraction of C(20)BAS transmembrane conformers, regardless of the C(20)BAS/POPC ratio, together with the findings from molecular mean-field theory calculations, suggests the coexistence of phase-separated bolalipid-rich domains and POPC-rich domains. A single lamellar repeat distance was observed in SAXS experiments corresponding to the average repeat spacing expected for C(20)BAS- and POPC-rich domains. These observations are consistent with the presence of microphase-separated domains in the mixed membrane samples that arise from POPC-C(20)BAS hydrophobic mismatch.
