Anionic Lipid Clustering-Mediated Bactericidal Activity and Selective Toxicity of Quaternary Ammonium-Substituted Polycationic Pullulan against the Staphylococcus aureus Bacterial Membrane

Non-amphiphilic polycations have recently been recognized to hold excellent antimicrobial potential with great mammalian cell compatibility. In a recent study, the excellent broad-spectrum bactericidal efficacy of a quaternary ammonium-substituted cationic pullulan (CP4) was demonstrated. Their sele...

520 |a Non-amphiphilic polycations have recently been recognized to hold excellent antimicrobial potential with great mammalian cell compatibility. In a recent study, the excellent broad-spectrum bactericidal efficacy of a quaternary ammonium-substituted cationic pullulan (CP4) was demonstrated. Their selective toxicity and nominal probability to induce the acquisition of resistance among pathogens fulfill the fundamental requirements of new-generation antibacterials. However, there have been exiguous attempts in the literature to understand the antimicrobial activity of polycations against Gram-positive bacterial membranes. Here, for the first time, we have scrutinized the molecular level interactions of CP4 tetramers with a model Staphylococcus aureus membrane to understand their probable antibacterial function using molecular dynamics simulations. Our analysis reveals that the hydrophilic CP4 molecules are spontaneously adsorbed onto the membrane outer leaflet surface by virtue of strong electrostatic interactions and do not penetrate into the lipid tail hydrophobic region. This surface binding of CP4 is strengthened by the formation of anionic lipid-rich domains in their vicinity, causing lateral compositional heterogeneity. The major outcomes of the asymmetric accumulation of bulky polycationic CP4 on one leaflet are (i) anionic lipid segregation at the interaction site and (ii) a decrease in the cationic lipid acyl tail ordering and ease of water translocation across the lipid hydrophobic barrier. The membrane-CP4 interactions are strongly monitored by the ionic strength; a higher salt concentration weakens the binding of CP4 on the membrane surface. In addition, our study also substantiates the non-interacting behavior of CP4 oligomers with biomimetic 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) membrane, indicating their cell selectivity and specificity against pathogenic membranes
