Gangliosides are a class of glycosphingolipids (GSLs) with amphiphilic character
that are found at the outer leaflet of the cell membranes, where their ability to
organize into special domains makes them vital cell membrane components. However,
a molecular understanding of GSL-rich membranes in terms of their clustered
organization, stability, and dynamics is still elusive. To gain molecular insight
into the organization and dynamics of GSL-rich membranes, we performed all-atom
molecular-dynamics simulations of bicomponent ganglioside GM1 in
1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) phospholipid bilayers
with varying concentrations of GM1 (10%, 20%, and 30%). Overall, the simulations
show very good agreement with available experimental data, including x-ray
electron density profiles along the membrane normal, NMR carbohydrate
proton-proton distances, and x-ray crystal structures. This validates the quality
of our model systems for investigating GM1 clustering through an
ordered-lipid-cluster analysis. The increase in GM1 concentration induces tighter
lipid packing, driven mainly by inter-GM1 carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions,
leading to a greater preference for the positive curvature of GM1-containing
membranes and larger cluster sizes of ordered-lipid clusters (with a composite of
GM1 and POPC). These clusters tend to segregate and form a large percolated
cluster at a 30% GM1 concentration at 293 K. At a higher temperature of 330 K,
however, the segregation is not maintained.
