An electron spin resonance study of interactions between phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine in oriented membranes.

Abstract:

:A detailed electron spin resonance (ESR) study of mixtures of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine (POPC) and phosphatidylserine (POPS) in oriented multilayers in the liquid crystalline phase is reported with the purpose of characterizing the effects of headgroup mixing on the structural and dynamical properties of the acyl chains. These studies were performed over a range of blends of POPC and POPS and temperatures, utilizing the spin-labeled lipids 16-phosphatidylcholine and 5-phosphatidylcholine as well as cholestane (CSL). The ESR spectra were analyzed by nonlinear least-squares fitting using detailed spectral simulations. Whereas CSL shows almost no variation in ordering and rotational dynamics versus mole fraction POPS, (i.e. XPS), and 5-PC shows small effects, the weakly ordered end-chain labeled 16-PC shows large relative effects, such that the orientational order parameter, S is at a minimum for XPS = 0.5 where it is about one-third the value observed for XPS = 0 and 1. This is directly reflected in the ESR spectrum as a substantial variation in the hyperfine splitting with XPS. The least-squares analysis also shows a reduction in rotational diffusion coefficient, R perpendicular by a fractor of 2 for XPS = 0.5 and permits the estimation of S2, the ordering parameter representing deviations from cylindrically symmetric alignment. These results are contrasted with 2H NMR studies which were insensitive to effects of mixing headgroups on the acyl chains. The ESR results are consistent with a somewhat increased disorder in the end-chain region as well as a small amount of chain tilting upon mixing POPC and POPS. They demonstrate the high sensitivity of ESR to subtle effects in chain ordering and dynamics.
