摘要:
Inhomogeneous structure occurring in biological membranes being rich in glycosphingolipids (GSL) has been proposed as an important phenomenon involved in the cellular endocytosis process. However, little is known about the correlation between the formation of microdomains and the GSL-dependent biogenesis for tubular endocytic pits occurred on the surface of the cellular membrane. In the present work, the interaction between the bacterial Shiga toxin from Escherichia coli (STxB) and its cellular receptor GSL globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) were studied using small unilamellar vesicle (SUV). The model membrane invagination induced by STxB was determined by the contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and the synchrotron radiation facility based small-angle X-ray scattering (SR-SAXS). The results revealed that Gb3 molecules provided the binding sites for STxB, inducing increased membrane fluctuation. The formation of protein-lipid complex (STxB-Gb3) apparently induced the thinning of model membrane with the thickness decreased from 3.10 nm to 2.50 nm. It is the first time to successfully characterize the mesoscopic change on membrane thickness upon GSL-dependent endocytic process using a small-angle scattering technique. Overall, this paper provided a practical method to quantify the inhomogeneous biological membrane structures, which is important to understand the cellular endocytosis process.
