Morphological changes associated with Ca-induced phase separation in mixed bovine brain phosphatidylserine (PS) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) multilamellar vesicles were investigated by freeze-fracture EM, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, microprobe X-ray analysis and 31P NMR. Dipalmitoylthionphosphatidylcholine was substituted for DPPC to label PC [phosphatidylcholine] in 31P NMR and microprobe studies. Up to 25% of PS, there was no detectable morphological segregation induced by 20 mM Ca2+. Microprobe analysis showed that there were laterally separated PC- and Ca-rich domains within the same vesicles. The motion of P in PS, as observed by 31P NMR, was selectively restricted by Ca2+. The increasing lamellar repeat spacings with increasing PS percentage also implied the formation of DPPC-enriched domains. Between 30-50% PS and in excess of 20 mM Ca2+, small cochleates were observed to roll out of the surfaces of multilamellar vesicles. The majority of the samples were in the form of small cochleates and small vesicles. X-ray diffraction showed the coexistence of both types of structures. Microphobe analysis showed that Ca and S preferentially associated with cochleates and small vesicles, respectively, in samples containing thionphosphatidylcholine. The critical concentration at which macroscopic structural changes occurred was 30% PS. PS was sequestered by Ca from multilamellar vesicles to form PS-enriched cochleates, resulting in a corresponding enrichment of DPPC in the remaining small vesicles. Presumably, the macroscopic morphological segregation occurred only when the microscopic domains extended beyond a given critical size.
