Interaction of myotoxin a with artificial membranes: Raman spectroscopic investigation.

Abstract:

:Myotoxin a from the venom of Crotalus viridis viridis (prairie rattlesnake) is a small protein which is responsible for myonecrosis. It is a basic protein with 42 amino acid residues of known sequence. Three disulfide bonds give it a highly compact structure. Microscopic examination of the toxin's effects reveals that the most pronounced and earliest visible damage occurs intracellularly, in the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane system of skeletal muscle. A better understanding of its mechanism of action is therefore of particular interest. The interaction of myotoxin a with artificial membranes (multibilamellar phospholipid dispersions) was investigated by using dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dimyristoylphosphatidylserine (DMPS). Two regions of the Raman spectrum were examined for information: the C-H stretching region between 2800 and 3000 cm-1 and the C-C stretching region between 1000 and 1300 cm-1. The effects of myotoxin a on the thermotropic phase behavior of the artificial membranes were determined. This was done by monitoring three structurally sensitive Raman intensity ratios, I2932/2880, I2880/2850, and I1088/1126. It was found that myotoxin alpha destabilized the ordered structure of the gel phase of phospholipid bilayers. This effect was seen with both DMPC and DMPS. The pretransition of DMPC was perturbed by myotoxin a, while the main gel to liquid-crystal phase transition temperature was decreased. The effect of myotoxin a on the phase behavior of DMPS was found to be pH dependent with the least effect observed at low pH values. These results suggest the involvement of negatively charged phosphate groups of phospholipids in the interaction of myotoxin a with artificial membranes.
