Influence of Free Fatty Acids on Lipid Membrane-Nisin Interaction.

ABSTRACT: The influence of free fatty acids (FFAs) on the nisin-membrane interaction was investigated through micro-DSC and fluorescence spectroscopy. A simple but informative model membrane was prepared (5.7 DMPC:3.8 DPPS:0.5 DOPC molar ratio) by considering the presence of different phospholipid headgroups in charge and size and different phospholipid tails in length and unsaturation level, allowing the discrimination of the combined interaction of nisin and FFAs with the single phospholipid constituents. The effects of six FFAs on membrane stability were evaluated, namely two saturated FFAs (palmitic acid and stearic acid), two monounsaturated FFAs (cis-unsaturated oleic acid and trans-unsaturated elaidic acid) and two cis-polyunsaturated FFAs (ω-6 linoleic acid and ω-3 docosahexaenoic acid). The results permitted assessment of a thermodynamic picture of such interactions which indicates that the peptide-membrane interaction does not overlook the presence of FFAs within the lipid bilayer since both FFAs and nisin are able to selectively promote thermodynamic phase separations as well as a general lipid reorganization within the host membrane. Furthermore, the magnitude of the effects may be different depending on the FFA chemical structure as well as the membrane lipid composition.

Project description:Myxococcus xanthus responds to amino acid limitation by producing fruiting bodies containing dormant spores. During development, cells produce triacylglycerides in lipid bodies that become consumed during spore maturation. As the cells are starved to induce development, the production of triglycerides represents a counterintuitive metabolic switch. In this paper, lipid bodies were quantified in wild-type strain DK1622 and 33 developmental mutants at the cellular level by measuring the cross sectional area of the cell stained with the lipophilic dye Nile red. We provide five lines of evidence that triacylglycerides are derived from membrane phospholipids as cells shorten in length and then differentiate into myxospores. First, in wild type cells, lipid bodies appear early in development and their size increases concurrent with an 87% decline in membrane surface area. Second, developmental mutants blocked at different stages of shortening and differentiation accumulated lipid bodies proportionate with their cell length with a Pearson's correlation coefficient of 0.76. Third, peripheral rods, developing cells that do not produce lipid bodies, fail to shorten. Fourth, genes for fatty acid synthesis are down-regulated while genes for fatty acid degradation are up regulated. Finally, direct movement of fatty acids from membrane lipids in growing cells to lipid bodies in developing cells was observed by pulse labeling cells with palmitate. Recycling of lipids released by Programmed Cell Death appears not to be necessary for lipid body production as a fadL mutant was defective in fatty acid uptake but proficient in lipid body production. The lipid body regulon involves many developmental genes that are not specifically involved in fatty acid synthesis or degradation. MazF RNA interferase and its target, enhancer-binding protein Nla6, appear to negatively regulate cell shortening and TAG accumulation whereas most cell-cell signals activate these processes.
