Abstract:
Electrostatic interactions with negatively charged membranescontribute to the subcellular targeting of proteins with polybasicclusters or cationic domains. Although the anionic phospholipidphosphatidylserine is comparatively abundant, its contributionto the surface charge of individual cellular membranes is unknown,partly because of the lack of reagents to analyze its distributionin intact cells. We developed a biosensor to study the subcellulardistribution of phosphatidylserine and found that it binds thecytosolic leaflets of the plasma membrane, as well as endosomesand lysosomes. The negative charge associated with the presenceof phosphatidylserine directed proteins with moderately positivecharge to the endocytic pathway. More strongly cationic proteins,normally associated with the plasma membrane, relocalized toendocytic compartments when the plasma membrane surface chargedecreased on calcium influx.
