The formation and properties of liquid-ordered lipid domains (rafts) in plasma membrane are still poorly understood. This limits our ability to manipulate ordered lipid domain-dependent biol. functions. Giant plasma membrane vesicles (GPMVs) undergo large-scale phase separations into coexisting Lo and liquid-disordered lipid domains. However, large-scale phase separation in GPMVs detected by light microscopy is observed only at low temperatures The persistence of nanodomains at higher temperatures is consistent with previously reported theor. calculations To investigate the sensitivity of nanodomains to lipid composition, GPMVs were prepared from mammalian cells in which sterol, phospholipid, or sphingolipid composition in the plasma membrane outer leaflet had been altered by cyclodextrin-catalyzed lipid exchange. Lipid substitutions that stabilize or destabilize ordered domain formation in artificial lipid vesicles had a similar effect on the thermal stability of nanodomains and large-scale phase separation in GPMVs, with nanodomains persisting at higher temperatures than large-scale phases for a wide range of lipid compositions This indicates that it is likely that plasma membrane nanodomains can form under physiol. conditions more readily than large-scale phase separation We also conclude that membrane lipid substitutions carried out in intact cells are able to modulate the propensity of plasma membranes to form ordered domains. This implies lipid substitutions can be used to alter biol. processes dependent upon ordered domains.
