The capacity of myelin basic protein or of poly-L-lysine to promote leakage of carboxyfluorescein from vesicles or the aggregation of vesicles was studied. The vesicles were composed of phosphatidylcholine as the sole or major lipid component. Addition of 10% sphingomyelin, 10% phosphatidylglycerol, 10% egg or bovine brain phosphatidylethanolamine, or 30% dodecanal had relatively little effect on the extent of carboxyfluorescein release in the presence of either myelin basic protein or poly-L-lysine. In contrast with these results, the extent of vesicle aggregation was very sensitive to lipid composition. Addition of 10% phosphatidylglycerol induced more aggregation than the other phospholipids tested. Admixing 10% of a partially degraded sample of bovine brain phosphatidylethanolamine also led to a large amount of aggregation induced by the myelin basic protein. This latter aggregation appeared more specific for the basic protein, as it occurred to a much smaller extent with poly-L-lysine. In general, the effects of the myelin basic protein on either carboxyfluorescein release or vesicle aggregation were similar to, although somewhat greater than, that of poly-L-lysine. The aggregation of vesicles containing degradation products of phosphatidylethanolamine can be ascribed largely to the presence of aliphatic aldehydes. The effect of aliphatic aldehydes was specific in that the aliphatic alcohol, hexadecanol, or the short-chain aldehydes, acetaldehyde or butyraldehyde, did not promote myelin basic protein-induced vesicle aggregation. In addition, poly-L-lysine was less effective than the basic protein in aggregating vesicles containing aliphatic aldehydes. (ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
