The pH-dependent bilayer destabilization by an amphipathic peptide
Abstract
A 30-residue amphipathic peptide was designed to interact with uncharged bilayers in a pH-dependent fashion. This was achieved by a pH-induced random coil-alpha-helical transition, exposing a hydrophobic face in the peptide. The repeat unit of the peptide, glutamic acid-alanine-leucine-alanine (GALA), positioned glutamic acid residues on the same face of the helix, and at pH 7.5, charge repulsion between aligned Glu destabilized the helix. A tryptophan was included at the N-terminal as a fluorescence probe. The rate and extent of peptide-induced leakage of contents from large, unilamellar vesicles composed of egg phosphatidylcholine were dependent on pH. At pH 5.0 with a lipid/peptide mole ratio of 500/1, 100% leakage of vesicle contents occurred within 1 min. However, no leakage of vesicle contents occurred at pH 7.5. Circular dichroism measurements indicated that the molar ellipticity at 222 nm changed from about -4000 deg cm2 dmol-1 at pH 7.6 to -11,500 deg cm2 dmol-1 at pH 5.1, indicating a substantial increase in helical content as the pH was reduced. Changes in molar ellipticity were most significant over the same pH range where a maximum change in the extent and rate of leakage occurred. The tryptophan fluorescence emission spectra and the circular dichroism spectra of the peptide, in the presence of lipid, suggest that GALA did not associate with the bilayer at neutral pH. A change in the circular dichroism spectrum and a blue shift of the maximum of the tryptophan fluorescence emission spectra at pH 5.0, in the presence of lipid, indicated an association of GALA with the bilayer.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
