Effects of sterol structure and exogenous lipids on the transbilayer distribution of sterols in the membrane of Mycoplasma capricolum.

Abstract:

:Stopped-flow kinetic measurements of the association of filipin with sterols in intact cells and isolated membranes of Mycoplasma capricolum were used to study the effects of varying the phospholipid in the membrane. The phospholipid composition and content of the membrane were varied by growing cells in an albumin-containing medium with cholesterol, palmitic and oleic acids, and various concentrations of exogenous phospholipids. The exogenous phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, and phosphatidic acid) were incorporated up to levels of approximately 50% of the total membrane phospholipids but had no effect on the distribution of cholesterol between the two halves of the membrane bilayer. The sterol structure was varied by growing the cells with 10/micrograms/mL of either cholesterol, beta-cholestanol, 4,6-cholestadien-3 beta-ol, ergosterol, beta-sitosterol, or stigmasterol. With cholesterol, beta-cholestanol, and 4,6-cholestadien-3 beta-ol, approximately 65% of the sterol was found to be present in the outer half of the lipid bilayer. With ergosterol, beta-sitosterol, and stigmasterol, about 89% of the sterol is localized in the outer half of the membrane bilayer. Thus, the behavior of the alkyl-substituted sterols differs from that of cholesterol. The extent to which a sterol is distributed asymmetrically between the two halves of the bilayer is not related to the extent to which maximum growth is produced. These results suggest that growth-supporting sterols need not be translocated extensively.

    abstract::The mammalian iron-binding proteins lactoferrin (Lf) and transferrin (Tf) bind iron very tightly, but reversibly.

This difference in iron retention gives the...
