Abstract
The dependence of membrane dynamics on the mole ratio of lecithin to sphingomyelin (L/S) was examined by the fluorescence depolarization of the fluidity probe DPH in membranes isolated from sheep and human erythrocytes. In these membranes L/S is the main variable of lipid composition (0.02 and 1.7, respectively). The sheep erythrocyte membrane, which is rich in sphingomyelin, displays a higher lipid microviscosity than the human erythrocyte membrane in addition to a broad gel/liquid-crystal phase transition in the range of 26-35°C. Single-walled lipid vesicles of high sphingomyelin content, when studied by the same technique, exhibited dynamic characteristics similar to those found in the sheep erythrocyte membrane. Both the apparent microviscosity and the transition temperature decreased with increasing the L/S. Membrane proteins of human and sheep erythrocytes were fluorescently labeled with the sulfhydryl reagent N-dansylaziridine and the emission spectrum was recorded as a function of temperature. In the human erythrocyte membranes a gradual increase in the ratio of emission maxima at 520 and 490 nm was observed between 6 and 40°C. At this temperature range the ratio of the above emission maxima in sheep erythrocyte membranes displayed a break between 20 and 28°C, which partially overlapped the phase transition observed for the lipid core. The effect of the lipid phase transition on membrane proteins for the lipid core. The effect of the lipid phase transition on membrane proteins was further assessed by comparing the activity of the membrane bound phospholipase A2 in the intact and detergent-solubilized sheep erythrocyte membranes. Below 31°C the lipids suppress the enzyme activity by about 90%, whereas above this temperature this suppression is progressively abolished.
