In light of an increasing number of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, it is essential to understand an action imposed by various antimicrobial agents on bacteria at the mol. level. One of the leading mechanisms of killing bacteria is related to the alteration of their plasmatic membrane. We study bio-inspired peptides originating from natural antimicrobial proteins colicins, which can disrupt membranes of bacterial cells. Namely, we focus on the α-helix H1 of colicin U, produced by bacterium Shigella boydii, and compare it with analogous peptides derived from two different colicins. To address the behavior of the peptides in biol. membranes, we employ a combination of mol. simulations and experiments We use mol. dynamics simulations to show that all three peptides are stable in model zwitterionic and neg. charged phospholipid membranes. At the mol. level, their embedment leads to the formation of membrane defects, membrane permeation for water, and, for neg. charged lipids, membrane poration. These effects are caused by the presence of polar moieties in the considered peptides. Importantly, simulations demonstrate that even monomeric H1 peptides can form toroidal pores. At the macroscopic level, we employ exptl. co-sedimentation and fluorescence leakage assays. We show that the H1 peptide of colicin U incorporates into phospholipid vesicles and disrupts their membranes, causing leakage, in agreement with the mol. simulations. These insights obtained for model systems seem important for understanding the mechanisms of antimicrobial action of natural bacteriocins and for future exploration of small bio-inspired peptides able to disrupt bacterial membranes. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as (2R,9Z)-1-(((2-Aminoethoxy)(hydroxy)phosphoryl)oxy)-3-(palmitoyloxy)propan-2-yl oleate (cas: 26662-94-2Name: (2R,9Z)-1-(((2-Aminoethoxy)(hydroxy)phosphoryl)oxy)-3-(palmitoyloxy)propan-2-yl oleate).
(2R,9Z)-1-(((2-Aminoethoxy)(hydroxy)phosphoryl)oxy)-3-(palmitoyloxy)propan-2-yl oleate (cas: 26662-94-2) belongs to esters. Esters perform as high-grade solvents for a broad array of plastics, plasticizers, resins, and lacquers, and are one of the largest classes of synthetic lubricants on the commercial market. Esters contain a carbonyl center, which gives rise to 120° C–C–O and O–C–O angles. Unlike amides, esters are structurally flexible functional groups because rotation about the C–O–C bonds has a low barrier. Their flexibility and low polarity is manifested in their physical properties; they tend to be less rigid (lower melting point) and more volatile (lower boiling point) than the corresponding amides.
