Mosaic Interdigitated Structure in Nanoparticle-Templated Phospholipid Bilayer Supports Partial Lipidation of Apolipoprotein A-I.

ABSTRACT: Using gold nanoparticle-templated high-density lipoprotein-like particles as a model, the nanoparticle-templated phospholipid bilayer is studied from the bottom-up. Data support the phospholipids have a mosaic interdigitated structure. The discontinuous lipid milieu supports partial lipidation of apolipoprotein A-I, different from an ordinary phospholipid bilayer, suggesting that synergy between nanoparticle templates and bound phospholipid layers can modulate amphiphilic proteins for desired functions.

Polymyxin B Loosens Lipopolysaccharide Bilayer but Stiffens Phospholipid Bilayer.

Project description:Multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria have increased the prevalence of a variety of serious diseases in modern times. Polymyxins are used as the last-line therapeutic options for the treatment of infections. However, the mechanism of action of polymyxins remains in dispute. In this work, we used a coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the mechanism of the cationic antimicrobial peptide polymyxin B (PmB) interacting with both the inner and outer membrane models of bacteria. Our results show that the binding of PmB disturbs the outer membrane by displacing the counterions, decreasing the orientation order of the lipopolysaccharide tail, and creating more lipopolysaccharide packing defects. Upon binding onto the inner membrane, in contrast to the traditional killing mechanism that antimicrobial peptides usually use to induce holes in the membrane, PmBs do not permeabilize the inner membrane but stiffen it by filling up the lipid packing defect, increasing the lipid tail order and the membrane bending rigidity as well as restricting the lipid diffusion. PmBs also mediate intermembrane contact and adhesion. These joint effects suggest that PmBs deprive the biological activity of Gram-negative bacteria by sterilizing the cell.

Nanoparticle Wettability Influences Nanoparticle-Phospholipid Interactions.

Project description:We explored the influence of nanoparticle (NP) surface charge and hydrophobicity on NP-biomolecule interactions by measuring the composition of adsorbed phospholipids on four NPs, namely, positively charged CeO2 and ZnO and negatively charged BaSO4 and silica-coated CeO2, after exposure to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALf) obtained from rats, and to a mixture of neutral dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and negatively charged dipalmitoyl phosphatidic acid (DPPA). The resulting NP-lipid interactions were examined by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Our data show that the amount of adsorbed lipids on NPs after incubation in BALf and the DPPC/DPPA mixture was higher in CeO2 than in the other NPs, qualitatively consistent with their relative hydrophobicity. The relative concentrations of specific adsorbed phospholipids on NP surfaces were different from their relative concentrations in the BALf. Sphingomyelin was not detected in the extracted lipids from the NPs despite its >20% concentration in the BALf. AFM showed that the more hydrophobic CeO2 NPs tended to be located inside lipid vesicles, whereas less hydrophobic BaSO4 NPs appeared to be outside. In addition, cryo-TEM analysis showed that CeO2 NPs were associated with the formation of multilamellar lipid bilayers, whereas BaSO4 NPs with unilamellar lipid bilayers. These data suggest that the NP surface hydrophobicity predominantly controls the amounts and types of lipids adsorbed, as well as the nature of their interaction with phospholipids.

Nanoparticle-templated nanofiltration membranes for ultrahigh performance desalination.

Project description:Nanofiltration (NF) membranes with ultrahigh permeance and high rejection are highly beneficial for efficient desalination and wastewater treatment. Improving water permeance while maintaining the high rejection of state-of-the-art thin film composite (TFC) NF membranes remains a great challenge. Herein, we report the fabrication of a TFC NF membrane with a crumpled polyamide (PA) layer via interfacial polymerization on a single-walled carbon nanotubes/polyether sulfone composite support loaded with nanoparticles as a sacrificial templating material, using metal-organic framework nanoparticles (ZIF-8) as an example. The nanoparticles, which can be removed by water dissolution after interfacial polymerization, facilitate the formation of a rough PA active layer with crumpled nanostructure. The NF membrane obtained thereby exhibits high permeance up to 53.5 l m-2h-1 bar-1 with a rejection above 95% for Na2SO4, yielding an overall desalination performance superior to state-of-the-art NF membranes reported so far. Our work provides a simple avenue to fabricate advanced PA NF membranes with outstanding performance.

Mosaic RBD nanoparticle elicits immunodominant antibody responses across sarbecoviruses

Project description:Universal vaccines cross-protecting against sarbecoviruses including SARS-CoV-2 are in great need under continuous emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants and potential novel coronavirus. Nanoparicle vaccines displaying mosaic receptor-binding domains (RBDs) or spike (S) proteins from SARS-CoV-2 and other sarbecoviruses were used for preparedness to emergent zoonotic outbreak. Here, we describe a self-assembling nanoparticle using lumazine synthase (LuS) as the scaffold to display RBDs from different sarbecoviruses. The mosaic LuS-RBD vaccines induced cross-reactive binding and neutralizing antibody responses to sarbecoviruses. Single B cell sequencing revealed that mosaic LuS-RBD elicited B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoire using an immunodominant germline gene pair of IGHV14-3: IGKV14-111 in mice. Most of the tested IGHV14-3: IGKV14-111 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are broadly cross-reactive to the clade 1a, 1b and 3 sarbecoviruses. By antibody binning and cryo-electron microscopy, we determined a reprensentative IGHV14-3: IGKV14-111 mAb, M2-7, bound to an conserved epitope on RBD largely overlapping with a pan-sarbecovirus mAb S2H97, which suggested that mosaic nanoparticles expended B cells recognizing the common epitopes shared by different clades of sarbecoviruses. These results provide immunological insights into the cross-reactive responses elicited by mosaic nanoparticle against emerging sarbecoviruses.

Detecting cross talk between two halves of a phospholipid bilayer.

Project description:One of the most challenging questions that relates to the structure and function of biological membranes is whether the two halves of the bilayer "talk" to each other. In this letter, we show how the perturbation of the lateral organization of one leaflet of a fluid phospholipid bilayer by an external agent also alters the lateral organization of the adjoining leaflet. In addition, we show that the energy involved in such "cross talk" corresponds to ca. 100 cal/mol of phospholipid. These findings provide a basis for expecting similar cross talk to exist in cell membranes.

Chapter 11 - Reconstitution of membrane proteins in phospholipid bilayer nanodiscs.

Project description:Self-assembled phospholipid bilayer Nanodiscs have become an important and versatile tool among model membrane systems to functionally reconstitute membrane proteins. Nanodiscs consist of lipid domains encased within an engineered derivative of apolipoprotein A-1 scaffold proteins, which can be tailored to yield homogeneous preparations of disks with different diameters, and with epitope tags for exploitation in various purification strategies. A critical aspect of the self-assembly of target membranes into Nanodiscs lies in the optimization of the lipid:protein ratio. Here we describe strategies for performing this optimization and provide examples for reconstituting bacteriorhodopsin as a trimer, rhodopsin, and functionally active P-glycoprotein. Together, these demonstrate the versatility of Nanodisc technology for preparing monodisperse samples of membrane proteins of wide-ranging structure.

Anisotropic metal growth on phospholipid nanodiscs via lipid bilayer expansion.

Project description:Self-assembling biomolecules provide attractive templates for the preparation of metallic nanostructures. However, the intuitive transfer of the "outer shape" of the assembled macromolecules to the final metallic particle depends on the intermolecular forces among the biomolecules which compete with interactions between template molecules and the metal during metallization. The shape of the bio-template may thus be more dynamic than generally assumed. Here, we have studied the metallization of phospholipid nanodiscs which are discoidal particles of ~10?nm diameter containing a lipid bilayer ~5?nm thick. Using negatively charged lipids, electrostatic adsorption of amine-coated Au nanoparticles was achieved and followed by electroless gold deposition. Whereas Au nanoparticle adsorption preserves the shape of the bio-template, metallization proceeds via invasion of Au into the hydrophobic core of the nanodisc. Thereby, the lipidic phase induces a lateral growth that increases the diameter but not the original thickness of the template. Infrared spectroscopy reveals lipid expansion and suggests the existence of internal gaps in the metallized nanodiscs, which is confirmed by surface-enhanced Raman scattering from the encapsulated lipids. Interference of metallic growth with non-covalent interactions can thus become itself a shape-determining factor in the metallization of particularly soft and structurally anisotropic biomaterials.

Lipid-Bilayer Dynamics Probed by a Carbon Dot-Phospholipid Conjugate.

Project description:Elucidating the dynamic properties of membranes is important for understanding fundamental cellular processes and for shedding light on the interactions of proteins, drugs, and viruses with the cell surface. Dynamic studies of lipid bilayers have been constrained, however, by the relatively small number of pertinent molecular probes and the limited physicochemical properties of the probes. We show that a lipid conjugate comprised of a fluorescent carbon dot (C-dot) covalently attached to a phospholipid constitutes a versatile and effective vehicle for studying bilayer dynamics. The C-dot-modified phospholipids readily incorporated within biomimetic membranes, including solid-supported bilayers and small and giant vesicles, and inserted into actual cellular membranes. We employed the C-dot-phospholipid probe to elucidate the effects of polymyxin-B (a cytolytic peptide), valproic acid (a lipophilic drug), and amyloid-? (a peptide associated with Alzheimer's disease) upon bilayer fluidity and lipid dynamics through the application of various biophysical techniques.

Nanoparticle-induced surface reconstruction of phospholipid membranes.

Project description:The nonspecific adsorption of charged nanoparticles onto single-component phospholipid bilayers bearing phosphocholine headgroups is shown, from fluorescence and calorimetry experiments, to cause surface reconstruction at the points where nanoparticles adsorb. Nanoparticles of negative charge induce local gelation in otherwise fluid bilayers; nanoparticles of positive charge induce otherwise gelled membranes to fluidize locally. Through this mechanism, the phase state deviates from the nominal phase transition temperature by tens of degrees. This work generalizes the notions of environmentally induced surface reconstruction, prominent in metals and semiconductors. Bearing in mind that chemical composition in these single-component lipid bilayers is the same everywhere, this offers a mechanism to generate patchy functional properties in phospholipid membranes.

Modeling nanoparticle wrapping or translocation in bilayer membranes.

Project description:The spontaneous wrapping of nanoparticles by membranes is of increasing interest as nanoparticles become more prevalent in consumer products and hence more likely to enter the human body. We introduce a simulations-based tool that can be used to visualize the molecular level interaction between nanoparticles and bilayer membranes. By combining LIME, an intermediate resolution, implicit solvent model for phospholipids, with discontinuous molecular dynamics (DMD), we are able to simulate the wrapping or embedding of nanoparticles by 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) bilayer membranes. Simulations of hydrophilic nanoparticles with diameters from 10 Å to 250 Å show that hydrophilic nanoparticles with diameters greater than 20 Å become wrapped while the nanoparticle with a diameter of 10 Å does not. Instead this smaller particle became embedded in the bilayer surface where it can interact with the hydrophilic head groups of the lipid molecules. We also investigate the interaction between a DPPC bilayer and hydrophobic nanoparticles with diameters 10 Å to 40 Å. These nanoparticles do not undergo the wrapping process; instead they directly penetrate the membrane and embed themselves within the inner hydrophobic core of the bilayers.
