1. The effect of surface charge on the voltage-dependent conductance induced in thin lipid membranes by monazomycin
R U Muller, A Finkelstein J Gen Physiol . 1972 Sep;60(3):285-306. doi: 10.1085/jgp.60.3.285.
Differences in the behavior of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG) thin lipid membranes treated with monazomycin are shown to be due to the negative surface charge on PG membranes. We demonstrate that shifts of the conductance-voltage (g-V) characteristic of PG films produced by changes of univalent or divalent cation concentrations result from changes of the membrane surface potential on one or both sides. In particular, if divalent cations are added to the aqueous phase not containing monazomycin, the resulting asymmetry of the surface potentials results in an intramembrane potential difference not recordable by electrodes in the bulk phases. Nevertheless, this intramembrane potential difference is "seen" by the monazomycin, and consequently the g-V characteristic is shifted along the voltage axis. These changes are accounted for by diffuse double layer theory. Thus we find it unnecessary to invoke specific binding of Mg(++) or Ca(++) to the negative charges of PG membranes to explain the observation that concentrations of these ions some 100-fold lower than that of the univalent cation present produce large shifts of the g-V characteristic. We suggest that analogous shifts of g-V characteristics in axons produced by changes of divalent cation concentration are also best explained by diffuse double layer theory.
2. LL-A491, a monazomycin-like antibiotic
L A Mitscher, N Bohonos, A J Shay Appl Microbiol . 1967 Sep;15(5):1002-5. doi: 10.1128/am.15.5.1002-1005.1967.
A new antibiotic, designated LL-A491, was isolated by butanol extraction and crystallization from beers of an unidentified streptomycete, Lederle culture A491. LL-A491 was primarily active against gram-positive bacteria and was related to monazomycin. A tentative molecular formula of C(72+/-2) H(144+/-8) O(25+/-1) N for the antibiotic, based on analyses of the crystalline hydrochloride, picrate, and picrolonate salts, is considerably larger than that proposed for monazomycin, from which LL-A491 was not differentiated by paper chromatography. Analysis of the amorphous polyacetate ester suggested 15 to 16 acetylable groups. Upon hydrolysis, LL-A491 liberated ammonia and a reducing sugar which appeared to be mannose. LL-A491 was dextrorotatory, [alpha](D) (25) + 14 degrees , and exhibited only end absorption in the ultraviolet region.
3. Voltage-dependent conductance induced in thin lipid membranes by monazomycin
R U Muller, A Finkelstein J Gen Physiol . 1972 Sep;60(3):263-84. doi: 10.1085/jgp.60.3.263.
When present in micromolar amounts on one side of phospholipid bilayer membranes, monazomycin (a positively charged, polyene-like antibiotic) induces dramatic voltage-dependent conductance effects. Voltage clamp records are very similar in shape to those obtained from the potassium conductance system of the squid axon. The steady-state conductance is proportional to the 5th power of the monazomycin concentration and increases exponentially with positive voltage (monazomycin side positive); there is an e-fold change in conductance per 4-6 mv. The major current-carrying ions are univalent cations. For a lipid having no net charge, steady-state conductance increases linearly with KCl (or NaCl) concentration and is unaffected by Ca(++) or Mg(++). The current-voltage characteristic which is normally monotonic in symmetrical salt solutions is converted by a salt gradient to one with a negative slope-conductance region, although the conductance-voltage characteristic is unaffected. A membrane treated with both monazomycin and the polyene antibiotic nystatin (which alone creates anion-selective channels) displays bistability in the presence of a salt gradient. Thus monazomycin and nystatin channels can exist in parallel. We believe that many monazomycin monomers (within the membrane) cooperate to form a multimolecular conductance channel; the voltage control of conductance arises from the electric field driving monazomycin molecules at the membrane surface into the membrane and thus affecting the number of channels that are formed.
