The fluorescent phospholipid 1-acyl-2-[12-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4- yl)aminododecanoyl]phosphatidylcholine (NBD-phosphatidylcholine) and the corresponding aminophospholipid derivatives (NBD-phosphatidylethanolamine and NBD-phosphatidylserine) were introduced in the human erythrocyte membrane by a nonspecific phospholipid exchange protein purified from corn. The lateral mobility of the fluorescent phospholipids was measured by using an extension of the classical photobleaching recovery technique that takes advantage of a modulated fringe pattern and provides a high sensitivity. In intact erythrocytes and in ghosts resealed in the presence of ATP, the fluorescence-contrast curves after photobleaching decayed biexponentially corresponding to two lateral diffusion constants. With NBD-phosphatidylcholine, the majority of the signal corresponded to a "slow" component (1.08 X 10(-9) cm2/sec at 20 degrees C), whereas with the amino derivatives the majority of the signal corresponded to a "fast" component (5.14 X 10(-9) cm2/sec at 20 degrees C). If the ghosts were resealed without ATP, the fast component of the aminophospholipids disappeared. We interpret these results as follows: (i) Provided the cells or the ghosts contain ATP, the three fluorescent phospholipids distribute spontaneously between inner and outer leaflets as endogenous phospholipids, namely NBD-phosphatidylcholine is located in the outer leaflet, while both aminophospholipids are preferentially located in the inner leaflet. (ii) The viscosity of the inner leaflet of human erythrocyte membranes is lower than that of the outer leaflet.
