Pinching-off of Coated Vesicles01:32

Pinching-off of Coated Vesicles

4.3K
Vesicle budding is orchestrated by distinct cytosolic proteins such as adaptor proteins, coat proteins, and GTPases. To initiate vesicle budding, membrane-bending proteins containing crescent-shaped BAR domains bind to the lipid heads in the bilayer and distort the membrane to form a protein-coated vesicle bud. Adaptors proteins such as AP2 for clathrin-coated vesicles can nucleate on the deformed membrane. Finally, coat proteins such as clathrin or COPI and COPII assemble into a coat forming...

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Understanding charged nanoparticle (CNP) interactions with biological membranes is crucial for nanomedicine.
  • Previous studies primarily focused on planar membranes, leaving interactions with curved vesicles less explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the interaction modes between charged nanoparticles (CNPs) and curved vesicle membranes.
  • To elucidate the influence of CNP hydrophobicity, surface charge density, and distribution on vesicle interaction dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) simulations were employed to model CNP-vesicle interactions.
  • Systematic evaluation of varying CNP properties (hydrophobicity, charge density, distribution) against curved vesicle models.

Main Results:

  • Identified four distinct interaction modes: insertion, repulsion, adhesion, and penetration.
  • Observed novel behaviors on curved membranes, including easier penetration of low-charge CNPs due to increased membrane tension.
  • Demonstrated that negatively charged CNPs exhibit preferential interaction with the inner leaflet post-penetration.
  • Found that inhomogeneous CNP distribution enhances penetrability compared to homogeneous distribution.
  • Observed lipid flip-flop and water exchange during CNP penetration events.

Conclusions:

  • Electrostatic effects are fundamental to CNP-vesicle interactions.
  • CNP penetration into vesicles can be controlled by tuning hydrophobicity, charge density, and distribution.
  • Findings offer insights for designing effective nanocarrier agents and drug delivery systems.
