[Compartmentation of gramicidin 5 in membranes of sensitive bacteria and protein-lipid interactions].
Gramicidin S is sorbed on the isolated membranes of granicidin-sensitive Micrococcus lysodeikticus strain. The antibiotic inhibits the membrane malate dehydrogenase within the temperature range of 9--42 degrees C, i.e. under conditions of gel and liquid-crystalline lipid state; however its effect at 10 degrees C is 10 times as low as is observed at 42 degrees C. The inhibitory effect of gramicidin S on malate dehydrogenase can be eliminated and the antibiotic can be removed from the membrane by an excess of different phospholipids. No transfer of the membrane components on exogenous phospholipids is observed. A prolonged (about 2 hrs, 30 degrees C) incubation of the membranes with gramicidin S results in irreversible inactivation of malate dehydrogenase, although the antibiotic can be still eliminated by an addition of phospholipid emulsions. It is suggested that gramicidin S forms complexes with phospholipids, in which the antibiotic is oriented to water. These complexes disturb the lipid-protein interactions, resulting in relaxation of the binding between the boundary phospholipids and proteins, in the loosening of near-protein lipid zones and simultaneous condensation of acid phospholipids in the whole membrane. Destruction of the lipid zone is accompanied by changes in the enzyme activity, by separation of lipid and protein regions and by transphase enzyme transitions (expulsion or immersion). A slow formation of secondary protein-protein associates may be irreversible.
