Abstract
This work assessed effects of metal binding on membrane fluidity, liposome size, and lateral organization in biomimetic membranes composed of 1 mol% of selected phosphorylated phosphoinositides in each system. Representative examples of phosphoinositide phosphate, bisphosphate and triphosphate were investigated. These include phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate, an important signaling lipid constituting a minor component in plasma membranes whereas phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate clusters support the propagation of secondary messengers in numerous signaling pathways. The high negative charge of phosphoinositides facilitates electrostatic interactions with metals. Lipids are increasingly identified as toxicological targets for divalent metals, which potentially alter lipid packing and domain formation. Exposure to heavy metals, such as lead and cadmium or elevated levels of essential metals, like cobalt, nickel, and manganese, implicated with various toxic effects were investigated. Phosphatidylinositol-(4)-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate containing membranes are rigidified by lead, cobalt, and manganese whilst cadmium and nickel enhanced fluidity of membranes containing phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate. Only cobalt induced liposome aggregation. All metals enhanced lipid clustering in phosphatidylinositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate systems, cobalt in phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate systems, while all metals showed limited changes in lateral film organization in phosphatidylinositol-(4)-phosphate matrices. These observed changes are relevant from the biophysical perspective as interference with the spatiotemporal formation of intricate domains composed of important signaling lipids may contribute to metal toxicity.

Abstract
Lipid membranes can spontaneously organize their components into domains of different sizes and properties. The organization of membrane lipids into nanodomains might potentially play a role in vital functions of cells and organisms. Model membranes represent attractive systems to study lipid nanodomains, which cannot be directly addressed in living cells with the currently available methods. This review summarizes the knowledge on lipid nanodomains in model membranes and exposes how their specific character contrasts with large-scale phase separation. The overview on lipid nanodomains in membranes composed of diverse lipids (e.g., zwitterionic and anionic glycerophospholipids, ceramides, glycosphingolipids) and cholesterol aims to evidence the impact of chemical, electrostatic, and geometric properties of lipids on nanodomain formation. Furthermore, the effects of curvature, asymmetry, and ions on membrane nanodomains are shown to be highly relevant aspects that may also modulate lipid nanodomains in cellular membranes. Potential mechanisms responsible for the formation and dynamics of nanodomains are discussed with support from available theories and computational studies. A brief description of current fluorescence techniques and analytical tools that enabled progress in lipid nanodomain studies is also included. Further directions are proposed to successfully extend this research to cells.

Abstract
We compared the lateral structure of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) composed of three pseudo binary mixtures of different glycosphingolipid (GSL), i.e. sulfatide, asialo-GM1 or GM1, with POPC. These sphingolipids possess similar hydrophobic residues but differ in the size and charge of their polar head group. Fluorescence microscopy experiments using LAURDAN and DiIC18 show coexistence of micron sized domains in a molar fraction range that depends on the nature of the GSLs. In all cases, experiments with LAURDAN show that the membrane lateral structure resembles the coexistence of solid ordered and liquid disordered phases. Notably, the overall extent of hydration measured by LAURDAN between the solid ordered and liquid disordered membrane regions show marked similarities and are independent of the size of the GSL polar head group. In addition, the maximum amount of GSL incorporated in the POPC bilayer exhibits a strong dependence on the size of the GSL polar head group following the order sulfatide>asialo-GM1>GM1. This observation is in full harmony with previous experiments and theoretical predictions for mixtures of these GSL with glycerophospholipids. Finally, compared with previous results reported in GUVs composed of mixtures of POPC with the sphingolipids cerebroside and ceramide, we observed distinctive curvature effects at particular molar fraction regimes in the different mixtures. This suggests a pronounced effect of these GSL on the spontaneous curvature of the bilayer. This observation may be relevant in a biological context, particularly in connection with the highly curved structures found in neural cells.

Abstract
A rather widespread idea on the functional importance of sphingolipids in cell membranes refers to the occurrence of ordered domains enriched in sphingomyelin and ceramide that are largely assumed to exist irrespective of the type of N-acyl chain in the sphingolipid. Ceramides and sphingomyelins are the simplest kind of two-chained sphingolipids and show a variety of species, depending on the fatty acyl chain length, hydroxylation, and unsaturation. Abundant evidences have shown that variations of the N-acyl chain length in ceramides and sphingomyelins markedly affect their phase state, interfacial elasticity, surface topography, electrostatics, and miscibility, and that even the usually conceived "condensed" sphingolipids and many of their mixtures may exhibit liquid-like expanded states. Their lateral miscibility properties are subtlety regulated by those chemical differences. Even between ceramides with different acyl chain length, their partial miscibility is responsible for a rich two-dimensional structural variety that impacts on the membrane properties at the mesoscale level. In this review, we will discuss the miscibility properties of ceramide, sphingomyelin, and glycosphingolipids that differ in their N-acyl or oligosaccharide chains. This work is a second part that accompanies a previous overview of the properties of membranes formed by pure ceramides or sphingomyelins, which is also included in this Special Issue.

Abstract
This work explores the surface properties of the transcription factor Fra-1 and compares them with those of two other immediate early proteins, c-Fos and c-Jun, to establish generalities and differences in the surface behavior and interaction with phospholipids of this type of proteins. We present several experimental clues of the flexible nature of Fra-1, c-Fos, and c-Jun that support sequence-based predictions of their intrinsical disorder. The values of surface parameters for Fra-1 are similar in general to those of c-Fos and c-Jun. However, we find differences in the interactions of the three proteins with phospholipids. The closely related Fra-1 and c-Fos share affinity for anionic lipids but the former has more affinity for a condensed phase and senses a change in DPPC phase, while the latter has more affinity for an expanded phase. These features are in contrast with our previous finding that c-Jun is not selective for phospholipid polar head group or charge. We show here that at least some immediate early transcription factors can interact with membrane phospholipids in a distinguishable manner, and this shall provide a basis for their potential capacity to regulate membrane-mediated cellular processes.

Abstract
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used for the study of two-component lipid membranes. Phosphatidylserine and ceramide were to be investigated because they play an important biochemical role in cell membranes. The research on biolipid interaction was focused on a quantitative description of processes that take part in a bilayer. Assumed models of interaction between amphiphilic molecules and the equilibria that take place there were described by mathematical equations for the studied system. The possibility of complex formation for a two-component system forming bilayers was assumed, which could explain the deviation from the additivity rule. The molecular area and the equilibrium constant of the complex were determined.

Abstract
The demand for understanding the physical role of gangliosides in membranes is pressing, due to the high number of diverse and crucial biological functions in which they are involved, needing a unifying thread. To this purpose, model systems including gangliosides have been subject of extensive structural studies. Although showing different levels of complication, all models share the need for simplicity, in order to allow for physico-chemical clarity, so they keep far from the extreme complexity of the true biological systems. Nonetheless, as widely agreed, they provide a basic hint on the structural contribution specific molecules can pay to the complex aggregate. This topic we address in the present review. Gangliosides are likely to play their physical role through metamorphism, cooperativity and demixing, that is, they tend to segregate and identify regions where they can dictate and modulate the geometry and the topology of the structure, and its mechanical properties. Strong three-dimensional organisation and cooperativity are exploited to scale up the local arrangement hierarchically from the nano- to the mesoscale, influencing the overall morphology of the structure.

Abstract
Biomembranes contain a wide variety of lipids and proteins within an essentially two-dimensional structure. The coexistence of such a large number of molecular species causes local tensions that frequently relax into a phase or compositional immiscibility along the lateral and transverse planes of the interface. As a consequence, a substantial microheterogeneity of the surface topography develops and that depends not only on the lipid-protein composition, but also on the lateral and transverse tensions generated as a consequence of molecular interactions. The presence of proteins, and immiscibility among lipids, constitute major perturbing factors for the membrane sculpturing both in terms of its surface topography and dynamics. In this work, we will summarize some recent evidences for the involvement of membrane-associated, both extrinsic and amphitropic, proteins as well as membrane-active phosphohydrolytic enzymes and sphingolipids in driving lateral segregation of phase domains thus determining long-range surface topography.

Abstract
The interaction of the three main components of the mitochondrial membrane, namely cardiolipin, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamine, has been studied investigating mixed cardiolipin-phosphatidylcholine and cardiolipin-phosphatidylethanolamine monolayers at different cardiolipin molar fractions. The thermodynamic behavior of the mixed monolayers was investigated by means of surface pressure and surface potential measurements, and atomic force microscopy was employed to characterize the morphology of the monolayers. Langmuir isotherms and surface potential curves show a regular behavior with a progressive transition toward the isotherm of the pure component. Positive deviations from ideality in the excess Gibbs energies of mixing suggest the presence of repulsive interactions in both systems. Analysis of partial molecular dipole moment indicates a discontinuity at a definite cardiolipin/phosphatidylethanolamine molar fraction, suggesting the formation of a stoichiometric complex; as a consequence, in mixed cardiolipin-phosphatidylethanolamine monolayers, a phase separation is observed at phosphatidylethanolamine excess. AFM measurements indicate the presence of two domains: one made by phosphatidylethanolamine and the other by a regular arrangement of phosphatidylethanolamine and cardiolipin at a fixed molecular ratio.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids are ubiquitous components of animal cell membranes. They are constituted by the basic structure of ceramide with its hydroxyl group linked to single carbohydrates or oligosaccharide chains of different complexity. The combination of the properties of their hydrocarbon moiety with those derived from the variety and complexity of their hydrophilic polar head groups confers to these lipids an extraordinary capacity for molecular-to-supramolecular transduction across the lateral/transverse planes in biomembranes and beyond. In our opinion, most of the advances made over the last decade on the biophysical behavior of glycosphingolipids can be organized into three related aspects of increasing structural complexity: (1) intrinsic codes: local molecular interactions of glycosphingolipids translated into structural self-organization. (2) Surface topography: projection of molecular shape and miscibility of glycosphingolipids into formation of coexisting membrane domains. (3) Beyond the membrane interface: glycosphingolipid as modulators of structural topology, bilayer recombination and surface biocatalysis.

Abstract
Microcin J25 forms stable monolayers at the air-water interface showing a collapse at a surface pressure of 5 mN/m, 220 mV of surface potential, and 6 fV per squared centimeter of surface potential per unit of molecular surface density. The adsorption of microcin J25 from the subphase at clean interfaces leads to a rise of 10 mN/m in surface pressure and a surface potential of 220 mV. From these data microcin appears to be a poor surfactant per se. Nevertheless, the interaction with the lipid monolayer further increase the stability of the peptide at the interface depending on the mode in which the monolayer is formed. Spreading with egg PC leads to nonideal mixing up to 7 mN/m, with hyperpolarization and expansion of components at the interface, with a small excess free energy of mixing caused by favorable contributions to entropy due to molecular area expansion compensating for the unfavorable enthalpy changes arising from repulsive dipolar interactions. Above 7 mN/m microcin is squeezed out, leaving a film of pure phospholipid. Nevertheless, the presence of lipid at 10 and 20 mN/m stabilize further microcin at the interface and adsorption from the subphase proceeds up to 30 mN/m, equivalent to surface pressure in bilayers.

Abstract
We describe c-Jun, a widely studied transcription factor that participates in cell proliferation, differentiation, and tumorigenesis, as amphitropic. We show that c-Jun forms stable monolayers and interacts favorably, although in a nonselective manner, with phospholipids at the interface. The surface activity of c-Jun, together with that of c-Fos, its common partner in AP-1 transcription heterodimers, drives interfacial complex formation. We show that AP-1 is very stable at the air-water interface and suggest that AP-1 may not be substantially formed in solution as a stable equimolar association of both proteins.

Abstract
The transcription factor c-Fos has surface thermodynamic properties that allow it to differentially interact with phospholipids, especially PIP2. It regulates phospholipid metabolism both in vivo and in vitro, and modulates degradation of phospholipid monolayers by phospholipases in a way that depends on the membrane intermolecular packing (i.e., surface lateral pressure). With the aim to understand details of the interactions of c-Fos at the membrane level, we studied the surface packing, dipole potential, compressibility and topography of mixed films of the protein with PIP2. We show that c-Fos changes the packing of liquid-expanded PIP2 monolayers, in a different manner with respect to its effect on the similarly liquid-expanded dilauroylphosphatidylcholine monolayers. The changes at the local molecular level are transduced to long-range inhomogeneities of the surface, detected by Brewster angle (BAM) and epifluorescence microscopy (EFM). Our results highlight the capacity of c-Fos to alter the packing and dipole potential of the lipid-protein interface. This involves variations of the surface in-plane elasticity and lateral segregation of phase domains. These dynamic, reversible alterations of surface organization provide a basis by which c-Fos may transduce molecular information at the membrane level.

Abstract
Interactions among four natural neutral sphingolipids (ceramide, glucosyl-ceramide, lactosyl-ceramide and asialo-GM1) and six gangliosides (GM3, GM2, GM1, GD3, GD1a and GT1b) were studied in binary Langmuir monolayers at the air-buffer interface in terms of their molecular packing, compressibility, dipole potential and mixing behavior. The changes of surface organization can be grouped into three sets: (a) binary films of neutral GSLs, and of the latter with ceramide, exhibit thermodynamically unfavorable mixing with mean molecular area expansions and dipole moment hyperpolarization; (b) mixed monolayers of ceramide, or of GlcCer, and gangliosides occur with thermodynamically favorable interactions leading to mean molecular area condensation and depolarisation; (c) binary mixtures of LacCer or Gg4Cer with gangliosides, and all ganglioside species among them, revealed molecular immiscibility characterized by additive mean molecular area and dipole potential, with composition-independent constant collapse pressure. These results disclose basic tendencies of GSLs to molecularly mix or demix, leading to their surface segregation, which may underlay vectorial separation of their specific biosynthetic pathways.

Abstract
Gangliosides are the main component of lipid rafts. These microdomains, floating in the outer leaflet of cellular membrane, play a key role in fundamental cellular functions. Little is still known about ganglioside and phospholipid interaction. We studied mixtures of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and GD3 (molar fraction of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) using complementary techniques: 1), thermodynamic properties of the Langmuir-Blodgett films were assessed at the air-water interface (surface tension, surface potential); and 2), three-dimensional morphology of deposited films on mica substrates were imaged by atomic force microscopy. Mixture thermodynamics were consistent with data in the literature. In particular, excess free energy was negative at each molar fraction, thus ruling out GD3 segregation. Atomic force microscopy showed that the height of liquid-condensed domains in deposited films varied with GD3 molar fraction, as compatible with a lipid aggregation model proposed by Maggio. No distinct GD3-rich domain was observed inside the films, suggesting that GD3 molecules gradually mix with dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine molecules, confirming DeltaG data. Morphological analysis revealed that the shape of liquid-condensed domains is strongly influenced by the amount of GD3, and an interesting stripe-formation phenomenon was observed. These data were combined with the thermodynamic results and interpreted in the light of McConnell's model.

Abstract
Ganglioside GM3 was reported to induce the differentiation of HL-60 cells to differentiate along the macrophage-monocytic route. We used human monocytoid leukemia J6-2 cells and successfully induced differentiation by GM3. Because differentiation is accompanied by retarded growth rate and cell cycle is intimately related to phospholipid metabolism, so we explored how GM3 was related to phospholipid metabolism. By using [32P]Pi, [3H-CH3]choline, [3H-CH3]SAM, and [3H]inositol as radioactive tracers, we studied the turnover changes of phospholipids and their metabolites induced by GM3. For the morphological changes of differentiation to occur, the cells had to be treated with GM3 at a concentration of 50 microM for 5-6 days, but the phospholipid changes occurred at a very early stage of GM3 treatment (only 1 h). Our results indicate that GM3 stimulated PE methylation pathway inhibited both CDP-choline pathway and PI cycle. The phospholipid changes may constitute the early events in differentiation induced by GM3.

Abstract
In mixed monolayers with ganglioside GM1, ceramide induces a non-ideal increase of the monolayer collapse pressure, a reduction of the mean molecular area and a decrease of the surface potential per molecule at all surface pressures. The critical packing parameter and van der Waals interaction energy calculated from monolayer data predict the transduction of changes from the molecular to the supramolecular level, such as formation of bilayers and possible subsequent facilitation of non-bilayer structures as the ceramide concentration increases, along with a greater thermal stability of the lipid structures. In agreement with the expectations from monolayer data, calorimetry, dynamic light scattering and electron microscopy data reveal the actual presence of phases with high phase-transition temperatures; at about 5 mol% ceramide in the mixture, the aggregates change their topology from micelles to multilamellar vesicles of increasing size and finally to long, thin tubules as the amount of ceramide in the system increases.

Abstract
Myelin lipids form liquid-expanded monolayers at the air-water interface, with no evidence of surface pressure-induced two-dimensional phase transition. However, the film doped with 2 mole % of the fluorescent probe N-(7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl) Diacyl Phosphatidyl-ethanolamine (NBD-PE) shows an irregular pattern of coexisting laterally segregated surface domains with diffuse boundaries that change from smooth patterns to fractal-like structures depending on surface pressure. Successive expansion-recompression cycles lead to more defined domains, with a general reorganization occurring at surface pressures of about 20 mN/m. At least two coexisting phases occur over almost all the compression isotherms. The presence of proteins in whole myelin monolayers induces defined domain textures with relatively sharp boundaries. The patterns during compression and expansion are quite similar and, after the first cycle, little changes occur under recompression. The patterns observed provide topographical evidence for the existence of dynamic domain microheterogeneity in the surface of myelin interfaces.

Abstract
The influence of a hydrophilic layer covering the membrane on influenza hemagglutinin (HA) mediated fusion was investigated using membranes containing poly(ethylene-glycol) grafted phosphatidylethanolamine (PEG-2000-PE). Steric inhibition of HA-membrane interactions by these lipids affected virus fusion (half-maximal inhibition at 0.8 mol% for lipids with 114 ethylene glycol residues, or at 3.2 mol% for 45 residues (PEG-2000-PE), concentrations at which the PEG moieties adopt a random coil structure). Reconstituted viral membranes containing 3 mol% PEG-2000-PE retained 40% of their fusion activity. Therefore, efficient fusion is possible with membranes completely covered by a hydrophilic layer of several nanometers, and fusogenic virosomes containing PEG-PE are feasible.
