Melanie Myers, Cora Wortman, and Ernesto Freire* abstract: The thermotropic behavior of large unilamellar dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles containing the di-sialoganglioside Gdla and the trisialoganglioside Gtlb on their outer surface has been studied as a function of the ganglioside molar fraction and Ca2+ concentration by using high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. These studies indicate that both gangliosides have an ordering effect on the hydrocarbon region of the bilayer and that this effect is enhanced by the presence of Ca2+ ions. The calorimetric experiments also indicate that gang-lioside Gtlb has an intrinsic tendency to phase separate into compositional-rich ganglioside domains even in the absence of Ca2+. Ganglioside Gdla, on the other hand, only phase separates at Ca2+ concentrations equalto or higher than 10 mM. These studies have allowed us to identify and evaluate the factors affecting the rates of hydrolysis of gangliosides by (jangliosides are complex sialic acid containing glyco-sphingolipids located in the outer surface of plasma membranes and in the synaptic membranes of the central nervous system (Ledeen, 1978). They have been implicated in a variety of cell surface related processes such as in the recognition ma-chinery of the cell, as receptors for protein hormones (eg, thyroid stimulating hormone), bacterial toxins (eg, cholera-toxin, tetanus toxin), interferon, and fibronectin, and in the mechanism of viralinfection (Van Heyningen, 1974; Fishman & Brady, 1976; Lai, 1980; Rodgers & Snyder, 1981; Markwell et al., 1981). It has also been reported that the malignant transformation of cells is sometimes associated with an altered ganglioside composition (Wallach, 1975). Metabolic disorders resulting in the accumulation of certain gangliosidessuch as Tay-Sachs disease or GM, gangliosidosis result in mental retardation (Brady, 1982).Despite the important role of gangliosides in cell-surface phenomena, very little is known regarding the way they function, the molecular mechanisms of association with ligand molecules, their interactions with other membranecomponents, and the modulation of these interactions by membrane structural and physical parameters. Since gangliosides interact with a variety of extramembranous substrates and enzymes like sialyltransferases and neuraminidases, it is of primary importance to understand how these interactions are affected by membrane physical parameters such as lipid composition, lipid fluidity, or the formation of ganglioside compositional domains along the membrane surface. In this paper, we present the results of a study directed to elucidate the influence
