We investigated the ability of tBid (truncated form of Bid) to bind and permeabilize the liposomes (large unilamellar vesicles, LUVs) and release fluorescent marker molecules (fluorescein-isothiocyanate-conjugated dextrans, FITC-dextrans) of various molecular diameters (FD-20, FD-70, FD-250S) from LUVs. Obtained data showed that tBid was more efficient in promoting leakage of FITC-dextrans from LUVs composed of cardiolipin and dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) than LUVs made of dioleoylphosphatidic acid or dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol and DOPC. The leakage efficiency was reduced with increasing amount of dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine or dielaidoylphosphatidylethanolamine. Phospholipid monolayer assay and fluorescence quenching measurements revealed that tBid inserted deeply into the hydrophobic acyl chain of acidic phospholipids. Taking into account the tBid three-dimensional structure, we propose that tBid could penetrate into the hydrophobic core of membrane, resulting in the leakage of entrapped content from LUVs via a pore-forming mechanism.
