From the Evidence is growing that biological membranes
contain lipid microdomains or "rafts" that may be involved in
processes such as cellular signaling and protein trafficking. In this
study, we have used atomic force microscopy to examine the
behavior of rafts in supported lipid bilayers. We show that bilayers
composed of equimolar dioleoylphosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin
spontaneously form rafts, which are detectable as raised features. A
comparison of the extents of protrusion of the rafts in monolayers and
bilayers indicates that the rafts in the two leaflets of the bilayer
coincide. The rafts were observed both in the absence and presence of
cholesterol (33 mol %). Cholesterol reduced raft protrusion presumably
by increasing the thickness of the non-raft bilayer. PLAP
(glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein placental alkaline
phosphatase) was purified and shown to exist as a dimer. Following its
incorporation into supported lipid bilayers, PLAP was found to be
targeted efficiently to rafts, both in the absence and presence of
cholesterol. We suggest that atomic force microscopy provides a
powerful tool for the study of raft structure and properties.
