Abstract
Mechanistic studies of lantibiotic-induced permeabilization of phospholipid vesicles.
Authors:Driessen AJ, van den Hooven HW, Kuiper W, van de Kamp M, Sahl HG, Konings RN, Konings WN
Journal:Biochemistry
PubMed ID:7849020
'Nisin is a cationic polycyclic bacteriocin secreted by some lactic acid bacteria. Nisin has previously been shown to permeabilize liposomes. The interaction of nisin was analyzed with liposomes prepared of the zwitterionic phosphatidylcholine (PC) and the anionic phosphatidylglycerol (PG). Nisin induces the release of 6-carboxyfluorescein and other small anionic fluorescent ... More
The interaction of an antimicrobial decapeptide with phospholipid vesicles.
Authors:Choi MJ, Kang SH, Kim S, Chang JS, Kim SS, Cho H, Lee KH
Journal:Peptides
PubMed ID:15165724
'Previously, by using combinatorial peptide libraries, we have identified activity-optimized decapeptide (KSL, KKVVFKVKFK-NH(2)), which exhibited a broad spectrum of the activity against bacteria and fungi without hemolytic activity. In order to examine lipid requirements and to understand the mode of KSL action, we investigated interactions of the peptide with vesicles ... More
Membrane fusion is induced by a distinct peptide sequence of the sea urchin fertilization protein bindin.
Authors:Ulrich AS, Otter M, Glabe CG, Hoekstra D
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:9642230
'Fertilization in the sea urchin is mediated by the membrane-associated acrosomal protein bindin, which plays a key role in the adhesion and fusion between sperm and egg. We have investigated the structure/function relationship of an 18-amino acid peptide fragment "B18," which represents the minimal membrane binding motif of the protein ... More
Free fatty acid enhancement of cation-induced fusion of liposomes: synergism with synexin and other promoters of vesicle aggregation.
Authors:Meers P, Hong K, Papahadjopoulos D
Journal:Biochemistry
PubMed ID:2973806
'The effect of free fatty acids on the cation-induced fusion of large unilamellar vesicles (liposomes) was investigated by using fluorescent assays which monitor the mixing of aqueous contents of liposomes. Overall fusion was modeled as a two-step process involving aggregation of vesicles followed by actual fusion. Different experimental conditions were ... More
Polymer-induced membrane fusion: potential mechanism and relation to cell fusion events.
Authors:Lentz BR
Journal:Chem Phys Lipids
PubMed ID:8001186
'Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is used widely to mediate cell-cell fusion in the production of somatic cell hybrids and in the fusion injection of macromolecules into cultured cells from erythrocytes or liposomes. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which PEG induces fusion of cell membranes, making its use much ... More
