Proteins anchored by GPI are poorly solubilized from cell membranes by cold nonionic detergents because they associate with detergent-resistant membranes rich in cholesterol and sphingolipids. In this study, we demonstrated that cholesterol and sphingolipid-rich liposomes were incompletely solubilized by Triton X-100. GPI-anchored placental alkaline phosphatase incorporated in these liposomes was also not solubilized by cold Triton X-100. As sphingolipids have much higher melting temperatures (T-m) than cellular phospholipids, a property correlated with T-m might cause detergent inextractability. In support of this idea, we found that the low-T-m lipid dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) was efficiently extracted from detergent-resistant liposomes by Triton X-100, whereas the high-T-m lipid dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) was not. The fluorescence polarization of liposome-incorporated diphenylhexatriene was measured to determine the ''fluidity'' of the detergent-resistant liposomes. We found that these liposomes were about as fluid as DPPC/cholesterol liposomes, which were present in the liquid-ordered phase, and much less fluid than DOPC or DOPC/cholesterol liposomes. These findings may explain the behavior of GPI-anchored proteins, which often have saturated fatty acyl chains and should prefer a less-fluid membrane. Therefore, we propose that acyl chain interactions can influence the association of GPI-anchored proteins with detergent-resistant membrane lipids. The affinity of GPI-anchored proteins for a sphingolipid-rich membrane phase that is not in the liquid crystalline state may be important in determining their cellular localization.
