- Аннотация: Clustering of membrane proteins, in particular of ion channels, plays an important role in their functioning. To further elucidate the mechanism of such ion channel activity regulation, we performed experiments with a model system comprising the negatively-charged gramicidin analog, O-pyromellitylgramicidin (OPg) that forms ion channels in bilayer lipid membrane (BLM), and polycations. The effect of polylysines on the kinetics of OPg channels in BLM was studied by the method of sensitized photoinactivation. As found in our previous work, the interaction of polylysine with OPg led to the deceleration of the OPg photoinactivation kinetics, i.e., to the increase in the characteristic time of OPg photoinactivation. It was shown here that in a certain range of polylysine concentrations the photoinactivation kinetics displayed systematic deviations from a monoexponential curve and was well described by a sum of two exponentials. The deviations from the monoexponential approximation were more pronounced with polylysines having a lower degree of polymerization. These deviations increased also upon the elevation of the ionic strength of the bathing solution and the addition of calcium ions. A theoretical model is presented that relates the OPg photoinactivation kinetics at different concentration ratios of OPg and polylysine to the distribution of OPg molecules among OPg-polylysine clusters of different stoichiometry. This model is shown to explain qualitatively the experimental results, although the quantitative description of the whole body of evidence requires further development, assuming that the interaction of polylysine with OPg causes segregation of membrane domains enriched in OPg channels. The single-channel data, which revealed the insensitivity of the single-channel lifetime of OPg to the addition of polylysine, are in good agreement with the theoretical model.
