Abstract
Membrane transporters are involved in enormous number of physiological and pathological processes. Under oxidative stress they become targets for reactive oxygen species and its derivatives which cause protein damage and/or influence protein function(s). The molecular mechanisms of this interaction are poorly understood. Here we describe a novel lipid-mediated mechanism by which biologically important reactive aldehydes (RAs; 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, 4-hydroxy-2-hexenal and 4-oxo-2-nonenal) modify the activity of several membrane transporters. We revealed that investigated RAs covalently modify the membrane lipid phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), that lead to the formation of different membrane active adducts. Molecular dynamic simulations suggested that anchoring of PE-RA adducts in the lipid headgroup region is primarily responsible for changes in the lipid membrane properties, such as membrane order parameter, boundary potential and membrane curvature. These caused the alteration of transport activity of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1, potassium carrier valinomycin and ionophore CCCP. In contrast, neither direct protein modification by RAs as previously shown for cytosolic proteins, nor its insertion into membrane bilayers influenced the studied transporters. Our results explain the diversity of aldehyde action on cell proteins and open a new field in the investigation of lipid-mediated effects of biologically important RAs on membrane receptors, channels and transporters.

Abstract
To gain insight into mechanisms of photodynamic modification of biological membranes, we studied an impact of visible light in combination with a photosensitizer on translocation of various substances across artificial (vesicular and planar) bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs). Along with induction of carboxyfluorescein leakage from liposomes, pronounced stimulation of lipid flip-flop between the two monolayers was found after photosensitization, both processes being prevented by the singlet oxygen quencher sodium azide. On the contrary, no enhancement of potassium chloride efflux from liposomes was detected by conductometry under these conditions. Illumination of planar BLMs in the presence of a photosensitizer led to a marked increase in membrane permeability to amphiphilic 2-n-octylmalonic acid, but practically no change in the permeability to ammonia, which agreed with selective character of the photosensitized leakage of fluorescent dyes from liposomes (Pashkovskaya et al., Langmuir, 2010). Thus, the effect on transbilayer movement of molecules elicited by the photodynamic treatment substantially depended on the kind of translocated species, in particular, on their lipophilicity. Based on similarity with results of previous electroporation studies, we hypothesized about photodynamic induction of "pre-pores" or "hydrophobic defects" permeable to amphiphilic compounds and less permeable to hydrophilic substances and inorganic ions.

Abstract
The effect of ionic substituents in zinc and aluminum phthalocyanine molecules and of membrane surface charge on the interaction of dyes with artificial membranes and enterobacterial cells, as well as on photosensitization efficiency was studied. It has been shown that increasing the number of positively charged substituents enhances the extent of phthalocyanine binding to Escherichia coli cells. This, along with the high quantum yield of singlet oxygen generation, determines efficient photodynamic inactivation of Gram-negative bacteria by zinc and aluminum octacationic phthalocyanines. The effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ cations and pH on photodynamic inactivation of enterobacteria in the presence of octacationic zinc phthalocyanine has been studied. It has been shown that effects resulting in lowering negative charge on outer membrane protect bacteria against photoinactivation, which confirms the crucial role in this process of the electrostatic interaction of the photosensitizer with the cell wall. Electrostatic nature of binding is consistent with mainly electrostatic character of dye interactions with artificial membranes of different composition. Lower sensitivity of Proteus mirabilis to photodynamic inactivation, compared to that of E. coli and Salmonella enteritidis, due to low affinity of the cationic dye to the cells of this species, was found.

Abstract
Synthesis of cationic plastoquinone derivatives (SkQs) containing positively charged phosphonium or rhodamine moieties connected to plastoquinone by decane or pentane linkers is described. It is shown that SkQs (i) easily penetrate through planar, mitochondrial, and outer cell membranes, (ii) at low (nanomolar) concentrations, posses strong antioxidant activity in aqueous solution, BLM, lipid micelles, liposomes, isolated mitochondria, and cells, (iii) at higher (micromolar) concentrations, show pronounced prooxidant activity, the "window" between anti- and prooxidant concentrations being very much larger than for MitoQ, a cationic ubiquinone derivative showing very much lower antioxidant activity and higher prooxidant activity, (iv) are reduced by the respiratory chain to SkQH2, the rate of oxidation of SkQH2 being lower than the rate of SkQ reduction, and (v) prevent oxidation of mitochondrial cardiolipin by OH*. In HeLa cells and human fibroblasts, SkQs operate as powerful inhibitors of the ROS-induced apoptosis and necrosis. For the two most active SkQs, namely SkQ1 and SkQR1, C(1/2) values for inhibition of the H2O2-induced apoptosis in fibroblasts appear to be as low as 1x10(-11) and 8x10(-13) M, respectively. SkQR1, a fluorescent representative of the SkQ family, specifically stains a single type of organelles in the living cell, i.e. energized mitochondria. Such specificity is explained by the fact that it is the mitochondrial matrix that is the only negatively-charged compartment inside the cell. Assuming that the Deltapsi values on the outer cell and inner mitochondrial membranes are about 60 and 180 mV, respectively, and taking into account distribution coefficient of SkQ1 between lipid and water (about 13,000 : 1), the SkQ1 concentration in the inner leaflet of the inner mitochondrial membrane should be 1.3x10(8) times higher than in the extracellular space. This explains the very high efficiency of such compounds in experiments on cell cultures. It is concluded that SkQs are rechargeable, mitochondria-targeted antioxidants of very high efficiency and specificity. Therefore, they might be used to effectively prevent ROS-induced oxidation of lipids and proteins in the inner mitochondrial membrane in vivo.

Abstract
Photosensitized efficacy of tetrasulfonated phthalocyanines of zinc, aluminum and nickel (ZnPcS(4), AlPcS(4) and NiPcS(4), respectively) as studied by gramicidin channel (gA) photoinactivation was compared with adsorption of the dyes on the surface of a bilayer lipid membrane as measured by the inner field compensation method. The adsorption of the negatively charged phthalocyanines on diphytanoylphosphatidylcholine (DPhPC) membranes led to formation of a negative boundary potential difference between the membrane/water interfaces. Good correlation was shown between the photodynamic activity and the membrane binding of the three metallophthalocyanines. ZnPcS(4) appeared to be the most potent of these photosensitizers, while NiPcS(4) was completely ineffective. All of these phthalocyanines displayed no binding and negligible gA photoinactivation with membranes formed of glycerol monooleate (GMO), whereas Rose Bengal exhibited significant binding and photodynamic efficacy with GMO membranes. Gramicidin photoinactivation in the presence of AlPcS(4), being insensitive to the ionic strength of the bathing solution, was inhibited by fluoride and attenuated by phosphate ions. A blue shift of the fluorescence peak position of ZnPcS(4) dissolved in ethanol was elicited by phosphate, similarly to fluoride, which was indicative of the coordination interaction of these ions with the central metal atom of the phthalocyanine macrocycle. This interaction was enhanced in the medium modeling the water-membrane interface. The results obtained imply that binding of tetrasulfonated metallophthalocyanines to phospholipid membranes is determined primarily by metal-phosphate coordination.

Abstract
Both natural and synthetic polycations can induce demixing of negatively charged components in artificial and possibly in natural membranes. This process can result in formation of clusters (binding of several components to a polycation chain) and/or domains (aggregation of clusters and formation of a separate phase enriched in some particular component). In order to distinguish between these two phenomena, a model lipid membrane system containing ion channels, formed by a negatively charged peptide, O-pyromellitylgramicidin, and polycations of different structures was used. Microelectrophoresis of liposomes, changes in boundary potential of planar bilayers, the shape of compression curves and potentials of lipid and lipid/peptide monolayers were used to monitor the electrostatic factors in polymer adsorption to the membrane and peptide-polymer interactions. The synthesized PEO-grafted polylysine, PLL-PEO20000, did not induce peptide demixing monitored by stabilization of the gramicidin channels, in contrast to parent polylysine (PLL). Both polymers were shown to bind effectively to negatively charged liposomes and lipid monolayers, suggesting that the ineffectiveness of PLL-PEO20000 was not due to reduction of its binding. It was hypothesized that PLL-PEO20000 could not induce domain formation due to steric hindrance of long PEO chains preventing lateral fusion of clusters. Another copolymer, PLL-PEO4000, having four PEO chains of 4000 Da, exhibited intermediate effect between PLL and PLL-PEO20000, which shows the importance of the copolymer architecture for the effect on the lateral distribution of OPg channels. The model system can be relevant to regulation of lateral organization of ion channels and other components in natural membrane systems.

Abstract
Mitochondria can be a source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a target of oxidative damage during oxidative stress. In this connection, the effect of photodynamic treatment (PDT) with Mitotracker Red (MR) as a mitochondria-targeted photosensitizer has been studied in HeLa cells. It is shown that MR produces both singlet oxygen and superoxide anion upon photoactivation and causes photoinactivation of gramicidin channels in a model system (planar lipid bilayer). Mitochondria-targeted antioxidant (MitoQ) inhibits this effect. In living cells, MR-mediated PDT initiates a delayed ("dark") accumulation of ROS, which is accelerated by inhibitors of the respiratory chain (piericidin, rotenone and myxothiazol) and inhibited by MitoQ and diphenyleneiodonium (an inhibitor of flavin enzymes), indicating that flavin of Complex I is involved in the ROS production. PDT causes necrosis that is prevented by MitoQ. Treatment of the cell with hydrogen peroxide causes accumulation of ROS, and the effects of inhibitors and MitoQ are similar to that described for the PDT model. Apoptosis caused by H2O2 is augmented by the inhibitors of respiration and suppressed by MitoQ. It is concluded that the initial segments of the respiratory chain can be an important source of ROS, which are targeted to mitochondria, determining the fate of the cell subjected to oxidative stress.

Abstract
According to recent data, gramicidin A analogues having positively charged amino acid sequences at the C-termini exhibit two types of channel activity in lipid membranes: classical cation-selective channels and large unselective pores. The induction of unselective pores was shown here to strongly depend on the redox state of the membrane-bathing solution, if the gramicidin analogue contained a cysteine residue in the sequence GSGPKKKRKVC attached to the C-terminus. In particular, the addition of H2O2 led to an increase in the transmembrane current and the loss of cationic selectivity on planar bilayer lipid membranes and an increase in the carboxyfluorescein leakage of liposomes. The effect was observed at high concentration of the peptide while was absent at the single-channel level. It was concluded that oxidation led to possible formation of dimers of the peptide, which promoted the formation of large unselective pores.

Abstract
Ion-channel activity of a series of gramicidin A analogues carrying charged amino-acid sequences on the C-terminus of the peptide was studied on planar bilayer lipid membranes and liposomes. It was found that the analogue with the positively charged sequence GSGRRRRSQS forms classical cationic pores at low concentrations and large unselective pores at high concentrations. The peptide was predominantly in the right-handed beta(6.3)-helical conformation in liposomes as shown by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The single-channel conductance of the large pore was estimated to be 320pS in 100mM choline chloride as judged from the fluctuation analysis of the multi-channel current. The analogue with the negatively charged sequence GSGEEEESQS exhibited solely classical cationic channel activity. The ability of a peptide to form different type of channels can be used in the search for broad-spectrum antibiotics.
