Versatility of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol fragment in forming highly ordered polymorphs

Glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs) are often attributed with the ability to associate with the organized membrane microdomains. GPI fragment 1 forms a highly ordered subgel-phase structure characterized by ordering of both headgroups and alkyl chains in thin layers. While investigating the driving...

520 |a Glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs) are often attributed with the ability to associate with the organized membrane microdomains. GPI fragment 1 forms a highly ordered subgel-phase structure characterized by ordering of both headgroups and alkyl chains in thin layers. While investigating the driving forces behind the formation of these ordered monolayers, we have studied polymorphism of 1 under different conditions employing surface-sensitive X-ray diffraction methods. Three distinct polymorphs of 1 (I, II, and III) were identified and characterized by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction. Polymorphs II (a condensed monolayer structure) and III (highly ordered subgel phase) coexist on an 8 M urea solution subphase allowing for a detailed thermodynamic and kinetic analysis of the processes leading to the formation of these polymorphs. They are enantiotropic and can be directly interconverted by changes in temperature or lateral surface pressure. As a consequence, polymorph III nuclei of critical size (or larger) could be formed by density fluctuations in a multicomponent system, and they could continue to exist for a period of time even under conditions that would normally not allow for the nucleation of polymorph III. The processes described here could also lead to the formation of patches of highly ordered structures in a disordered environment of a cell membrane suggesting that GPIs may play a role in the formation of such domains
