Pulmonary surfactant protein SP-C causes packing rearrangements of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine in spread monolayers

J Pérez-Gil et al. Biophys J. 1992 Jul.

Abstract

The hydrophobic pulmonary surfactant protein SP-C has been isolated from porcine lung surfactant, and it has been incorporated into monolayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC). The monolayers, which contained 1 mol% of a fluorescently-labeled phosphatidylcholine, were observed under various states of compression in an epifluorescence surface balance. SP-C altered the packing arrangements of DPPC in the monolayer, causing the production of many more, smaller condensed lipid domains in its presence than in its absence.
