abstract = {To understand the effects of a crystalline protein layer on
bilayer properties, we studied the mechanical properties of
avidin- and streptavidin-coated giant lipid bilayer
vesicles. The giant vesicles (20-60 mum) are made from a
mixture of SOPC and biotinylated phospholipids via
electroformation. Using micropipet manipulation, we showed
that the presence of a monomolecular layer of noncrystalline
avidin on the vesicle surface increases the membrane bending
rigidity but does not significantly alter the elastic area
expansion modulus of the vesicle. When the vesicles were
coated with streptavidin, the protein crystallizes on the
bilayer surface, resulting in a rigid polycrystalline
membrane. These vesicles display unique roughened spherical
or prolate ellipsoidal shapes, depending on the differences
in crystal morphologies. Upon aspiration with micropipets,
the vesicles first showed rapid permanent deformation at low
strain, followed by a slower viscoelastic response above a
certain threshold. Despite their extremely rigid appearance,
the existence of a polycrystalline shell does not increase
the toughness of streptavidin-coated vesicles above that of
uncoated vesicles. The origin of these properties can be
traced to the unique ligand-receptor interactions between
streptavidin and biotinylated phospholipids in the bilayer
membrane. The findings offer greater understandings of
complex phenomena involving crystalline protein layers on
the surface of cell membranes, in addition to providing
information for the development of various applications
involving the immobilization of functionalized molecules on
lipid bilayer substrates.},
