Caveolin-1 (cav-1) is a multi-domain membrane protein that is a key player in cell signaling, endocytosis and mechanoprotection. It is the principle component of cholesterol-rich caveolar domains and has been reported to induce membrane curvature. The molecular mechanisms underlying the interactions of cav-1 with complex membranes, leading to modulation of membrane topology and the formation of cholesterol-rich domains, remain elusive. In this study, we aim to understand the effect of lipid composition by analyzing the interactions of cav-1 with complex membrane bilayers comprised of about sixty lipid types. We have performed a series of coarse-grain molecular dynamics simulations using the Martini force-field with a cav-1 protein construct (residue 82–136) that includes the membrane binding domains and a palmitoyl tail. We observe that cav-1 induces curvature in this complex membrane, though it is restricted to a nanometer length scale. Concurrently, we observe a clustering of cholesterol, sphingolipids and other lipid molecules leading to the formation of nanodomains. Direct microsecond timescale interactions are observed for specific lipids such as cholesterol, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine lipid types. The results indicate that there is an interplay between membrane topology and lipid species. Our work is a step toward understanding how lipid composition and organization regulate the formation of caveolae, in the context of endocytosis and cell signaling.

小窝蛋白诱导的膜曲率和脂质聚集:同一枚硬币的两侧?

Caveolin-1 (cav-1) 是一种多域膜蛋白,在细胞信号传导、内吞作用和机械保护中起关键作用。它是富含胆固醇的小窝结构域的主要成分,据报道可诱导膜弯曲。cav-1 与复杂膜相互作用的分子机制,导致膜拓扑结构的调节和富含胆固醇的结构域的形成,仍然难以捉摸。在这项研究中,我们旨在通过分析 cav-1 与由大约 60 种脂质类型组成的复杂膜双层的相互作用来了解脂质组成的影响。我们使用 Martini 力场和包含膜结合结构域和棕榈酰尾的 cav-1 蛋白构建体(残基 82-136)进行了一系列粗粒分子动力学模拟。我们观察到 cav-1 在这种复杂的膜中引起曲率,尽管它被限制在纳米长度范围内。同时,我们观察到胆固醇、鞘脂和其他脂质分子的聚集,导致纳米域的形成。观察到特定脂质(例如胆固醇、磷脂酰丝氨酸和磷脂酰乙醇胺脂质类型)的直接微秒时间尺度相互作用。结果表明,膜拓扑结构和脂质种类之间存在相互作用。我们的工作是朝着了解脂质组成和组织如何在内吞作用和细胞信号传导的背景下调节小窝的形成迈出的一步。鞘脂和其他脂质分子导致纳米域的形成。观察到特定脂质(例如胆固醇、磷脂酰丝氨酸和磷脂酰乙醇胺脂质类型)的直接微秒时间尺度相互作用。结果表明,膜拓扑结构和脂质种类之间存在相互作用。我们的工作是朝着了解脂质组成和组织如何在内吞作用和细胞信号传导的背景下调节小窝的形成迈出的一步。鞘脂和其他脂质分子导致纳米域的形成。观察到特定脂质(例如胆固醇、磷脂酰丝氨酸和磷脂酰乙醇胺脂质类型)的直接微秒时间尺度相互作用。结果表明,膜拓扑结构和脂质种类之间存在相互作用。我们的工作是朝着了解脂质组成和组织如何在内吞作用和细胞信号传导的背景下调节小窝的形成迈出的一步。
