title: Thermotropic behaviour of phospholipid vesicles reconstituted with rat liver microsomal cytochrome P-450.
abstract: The interaction of rat liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 with phospholipids has been investigated employing differential scanning microcalorimetry. It is shown that the thermotropic behaviour of phospholipid vesicles reconstituted with cytochrome P-450 depends on liposome composition, protein concentration and the mode of reconstituted system preparation. From the delta H dependence on protein concentration in proteoliposomes it was calculated that one cytochrome P-450 molecule influence 350 +/- 50 dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) molecules. The electrostatic interaction of cytochrome P-450 and negatively charged phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol (PI), mixed with DMPC involves the temperature stabilization of proteoliposomes at a phase transition of phospholipid bilayers. The thermal denaturation temperature is increased due to negatively charged PI added.
