The Effect of Receptor Clustering on Vesicle−Vesicle Adhesion
摘要:
As part of our studies into how the localization of cell adhesion molecules into lipid rafts may affect cell adhesion, we developed Cu(1), a synthetic copper(iminodiacetate)-capped receptor able to phase separate from fluid phospholipid bilayers. The extent to which Cu(1) clustered into adhesive patches on the surface of vesicles could be controlled by changing vesicle composition. Extensive receptor phase separation significantly enhanced vesicle-vesicle adhesion; only vesicles with adhesive patches (blue fluorescence) adhered to their conjugate histidine-coated vesicles (red fluorescence) to form large vesicle aggregates (shown).

weak intramembrane chelation of Con A. Despite this observation, concentrating the mannosyl lipids into artificial lipid rafts did not significantly improve affinity for Con A. This lack of a clusterglycosideeffect was ascribed to lipid congestion inhibiting intra-raft chelation of Con A, and implies that glycolipids located in lipid rafts may not necessarily be preorganised for multivalent binding.

A fluoro-tagged N-acetylglucosamine-capped glycolipid that can form lipid microdomains in fluid phospholipid bilayers has been shown to be enzymatically galactosylated by bovine beta(1,4)-galactosyltransferase. MALDI MS, HPLC, and LC-MS revealed that the rate of enzymatic transformation was significantly enhanced by lipid clustering; at a 1% mol/mol loading, clustered glycolipids were galactosylated 9-fold faster than glycolipids dispersed across the bilayer surface. The transformation of the GlcNAc "glycocalyx" into a Gal(beta 1-4)GlcNAc "glycocalyx" relabeled these vesicles, making them susceptible to agglutination by Erythrina cristagalli lectin (ECL). The kinetic parameters for this transformation revealed a lower apparent K-m when the substrate lipids were clustered, which is attributed to multivalent binding to an extended substrate cleft around the active site. These observations may have important implications where soluble enzymes act on substrates embedded within cellular lipid rafts.
