Two new fluorescent lysophosphatidylcholine probes have been synthesized for use as a donor–acceptor pair in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET): 9-anthrylvinyl (LAPC) as donor and 3-perylenoyl (LPPC) as acceptor. The partition coefficients between membrane and aqueous phases were 8.3×105and 10.5×105for LAPC and LPPC, respectively. The inner leaflets of unilamellar lipid vesicles were labeled with these probes to assess conservation of membrane sidedness after membrane fusion. After medium-sized unilamellar vesicles (MUV) were prepared with a probe in both leaflets, probe in the outer leaflet was removed by repeatedly washing with an excess of unlabeled giant unilamellar vesicles (GUV). MUV and GUV were separated by centrifugation. The probes did not flip-flop across bilayers at 25°C for at least 12 h. MUV containing the ganglioside GT1bwere labeled with the LAPC/LPPC pair in the inner leaflet and incubated for 30 min at neutral pH with influenza virus. Fusion was triggered by acidification to pH 5.0 and was monitored by an increase in donor fluorescence in a FRET assay. When the inner leaflets of MUV were labeled by LAPC only, its fluorescence did not change after fusion. However, the fluorescence decreased by 60% when the LAPC was removed from the outer leaflets of the fused membranes by repeated washings with GUV. We conclude that the lipids of the inner and outer leaflets of the fused MUV/virus complexes intermixed.
