Abstract:
:The two dominant glucolipids in Acholeplasma laidlawii, viz., 1,2-diacyl-3-O-(alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-sn-glycerol (MGlcDG) and 1,2-diacyl-3-O-[alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----2)-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl ]- sn-glycerol (DGlcDG), have markedly different phase behavior. MGlcDG has an ability to form nonlamellar phases, whereas DGlcDG only forms lamellar phases. For maintenance of a stable lipid bilayer, the polar headgroup composition in A. laidlawii is metabolically regulated in vivo, in response to changes in the growth conditions [Wieslander et al. (1980) Biochemistry 19, 3650; Lindblom et al. (1986) Biochemistry 25, 7502]. To investigate the mechanism behind the lipid regulation, we have here studied bilayers of mixtures of unsaturated MGlcDG and DGlcDG, containing a small fraction of biosynthetically incorporated perdeuterated palmitic acid, with 2H NMR. The order-parameter profile of the acyl chains and an apparent transverse spin relaxation rate (R2) were determined from dePaked quadrupole-echo spectra. The order of the acyl chains in DGlcDG-d31 increases upon addition of protonated MGlcDG, whereas the order of MGlcDG-d31 decreases when DGlcDG is added. The variation of order with lipid composition is rationalized from simple packing constraints. R2 increases linearly with the square of the order parameter (S2) up to S approximately 0.14; then, R2 goes through a maximum and decreases. The increase in R2 with S2, as well as the magnitude of R2, is largest for pure MGlcDG-d31, smallest for DGlcDG-d31, and similar for mixtures with the same molar ratio of MGlcDG/DGlcDG but with the deuterium label on different lipids.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
