The orientation of a mitochondrial presequence peptide, associated with anionic lipid-containing model membranes, was investigated. The peptide inserts with its N-terminal α-helical part into cardiolipin (CL) monolayers so that the N-terminal 14 residues are protected from proteinase K. In phosphatidylglycerol (PG) monolayers the inserted peptide was fully accessible to the protease. A consequence...
We demonstrate the ability of a peptide corresponding to the presequence of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit IV to induce lipid mixing between large unilamellar liposomes. This lipid mixing requires the presence of CL or PE, lipids able to form non-bilayer structures, and is not observed with other negatively charged lipids. However, the fact that this mixing occurs without mixing of the liposome...
