The influence of dolichol, dolichol esters, and dolichyl phosphate on phospholipid polymorphism and fluidity in model membranes

C Valtersson, G van Duyn, AJ Verkleij, T Chojnacki, B de Kruijff and G Dallner

The effect of dolichols, polyprenols, dolichol esterified with fatty acids, and dolichyl phosphate on the structure and fluidity of model membranes was studied using 31P NMR, small-angle x-ray scattering, differential scanning calorimetry, and freeze-fracture electron microscopy. These studies suggest that dolichol and dolichol derivatives destabilize unsaturated phosphatidylethanolamine containing bilayer structures and promote hexagonal II phase formation; high concentrations of dolichol induce lipid structures characterized by "isotropic" 31P NMR and particulate fracture faces; dolichol, contrary to cholesterol, has no effect on the thermotropic behavior of membranes consisting of phosphatidylcholine, while dolichyl-P incorporation abolishes the transition from the gel to liquid crystalline phase in 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine; both dolichol and dolichyl- P increase the fatty acid fluidity in phosphatidylethanolamine mixtures; the effect of dolichol on bilayer structure and fluidity is more pronounced with increasing number of isoprene residues; dolichol esters are only soluble to a limited extent in the bilayer and segregates into domains at low concentrations; the results are consistent with a localization of dolichyl-P in which the phosphate group is oriented to the water interphase. The induction of hexagonal II phase by dolichyl-P may elicit the transmembrane movement of glycosylated lipid intermediate.
