Plasma membranes of protoplasts isolated from non-acclimated rye plants undergo a transition from the bilayer to the inverted hexagonal (HII) phase during freeze-induced dehydration at –10°C. It has been suggested (Bryant, G. and Wolfe, J. (1989) Eur. Biophys. J. 16, 369–372) that the differential hydration of various membrane components may induce fluid-fluid demixing of highly hydrated (e.g., PC) from poorly hydrated (PE) components during dehydration. This could yield a PE-enriched domain more prone to form the HIIphase. We have examined the lyotropic phase behavior of mixtures of DOPE and DOPC at 20°C by freeze-fracture electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. HIIphase formation was favored by higher proportions of DOPE and lower water contents. Mixtures of 1:1 and 1:3 DOPE/DOPC had a hydration-dependent appearance of two Lαphases at water contents just above those at which the HIIphase occured. The hydration-dependence of the lamellar repeat spacings suggested that the DOPE-enriched domains preferentially underwent the Lα-to-HIIphase transition. Mixtures of 3:1 DOPE/DOPC did not separate into two Lαphases during dehydration. These data suggest that the differential hydration characteristics of various membrane components may induce their lateral fluid-fluid demixing during dehydration.
