摘要

The 13-residue cathelicidins indolicidin and tritrpticin are part of a group of relatively short tryptophan-rich antimicrobial peptides that hold potential as future substitutes for antibiotics. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been applied here to study the effect of indolicidin and tritrpticin as well as five tritrpticin analogs on the phase transition behaviour of model membranes made up of zwitterionic dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC, DMPC/cholesterol) and anionic dimyristoylphosphatidyl glycerol (DMPG) phospholipids. Most of the peptides studied significantly modified the phase transition profile, suggesting the importance of hydrophobic forces for the peptide interactions with the lipid bilayers and their insertion into the bilayer. Indolicidin and tritrpticin are both known to be flexible in aqueous solution, but they adopt turn-turn structures when they bind to and insert in a membrane surface. Pro-to-Ala substitutions in tritrpticin, which result in the formation of a stable alpha-helix in this peptide, lead to a substantial increase in the peptide interactions with both zwitterionic and anionic phospholipid vesicles. In contrast, the substitution of the three Trp residues by Tyr or Phe resulted in a significant decrease of the peptide's interaction with anionic vesicles and virtually eliminated binding of these peptides to the zwitterionic vesicles. An increase of the cationic charge of the peptide induced much smaller changes to the peptide interaction with all lipid systems than substitution of particular amino acids or modification of the peptide conformation. The presence of multiple lipid domains with a non-uniform peptide distribution was noticed. Slow equilibration of the lipid-peptide systems due to peptide redistribution was observed in some cases. Generally good agreement between the present DSC data and peptide antimicrobial activity data was obtained.
