C2AB: a molecular glue for lipid vesicles with a negatively charged surface.

ABSTRACT: Artificial particulate systems such as lipid vesicles are found in a variety of biomedical applications such as drug delivery and targeting. More versatile layers of control would be added if liposomes could be glued together on demand while stabilized against fusion. Here, we present a two-component molecular glue composed of a protein and calcium ions, with each component specialized for fast and specific binding to negatively charged lipid membranes. Upon mixing the two components, the high affinity binding of this glue starts to tightly bridge two lipid vesicles on a subsecond scale. Furthermore, highly charged liposomes are beneficial in preventing spontaneous fusion before applying the molecular glue.

Macrophage reprogramming by negatively-charged membrane phospholipids controls infection

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (ECV) are heterogeneous membrane-enclosed structures containing proteins, nucleic acids and lipids that participate in intercellular communication by transferring their content to recipient cells. Although most of the attention has been directed at the biological effect of proteins and microRNA, the contribution of phospholipids present in ECV on cellular activation has not been extensively addressed. Here we investigated the biological effect of phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), two phospholipids highly abundant in ECV. A transcriptomic analysis revealed that about 4,700 genes were specifically modified by exposing peritoneal macrophages to PS or PC liposomes in vivo. Among them, the expression of several chemokines and cytokines was highly upregulated by PS liposome treatment, translating into a massive neutrophil infiltration into the peritoneum capable of neutralizing a septic polymicrobial insult. Both the L and D stereoisomers of PS induced the same response, suggesting that the effect was related to the negative charge of the phospholipid head. We concluded that an increase in the internal negative charge of the cell triggers a signaling cascade activating an innate immune response capable of controlling infection.

TRIM72 cross-linked by the higher-order assembly on the negatively charged liposome surface

Project description:Plasma membrane repair is a rapid cellular response for resealing of membrane for cell survival. In the early step of repair process, TRIM72 is known to a key initiator for facilitating patch membrane to the damaged membrane site. When acute membrane injury happens, TRIM72 is also known to sensitively generate disulfide bonds formations by reactive oxygen species and further oligomerize with each other. We tried to clarify this repair system using in vitro reconstruction of TRIM72-liposome complex and find critical sites using cross-linker mass spectrometry. Using each four different length of sulfhydryl reactive cross-linkers, TRIM72 cross-linked with each other on the negatively charged liposome surface only. We also identified that the cross-linking bridges were highly conserved except bismaleimidoethane as a shortest arm length about 8 Å only. Our results indicated that the B2-box/B2-box locates closely with each other on the liposome surface. Furthermore, freely open RING domain is rearranged into the specific conformation, where located near the H2 helix of coiled coil domain. It suggests that the conformational changes of TRIM72 are induced by higher order assembly on the negative charged membrane surface.
