Galactosyl headgroup interactions control the molecular packing of wheat lipids in Langmuir films and in hydrated liquid-crystalline mesophases.

Résumé

The behavior of the two major galactolipids of wheat endosperm, mono- (MGDG) and di-galactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) was studied in aqueous dispersion and at the air/liquid interface. The acyl chains of the pure galactolipids and their binary equimolar mixture are in the fluid or liquid expanded phase. SAXS measurements on liquid-crystalline mesophases associated with the electron density reconstructions show that the DGDG adopts a lamellar phase L(alpha) with parallel orientation of the headgroups with respect to the plane of the bilayer, whereas MGDG forms an inverse hexagonal phase H(II) with a specific organization of galactosyl headgroups. The equimolar mixture shows a different behavior from those previously described with formation of an Im3m cubic phase. In comparing monolayers composed of the pure galactolipids and their equimolar mixtures, PM-IRRAS spectra show significant differences in the optical properties and orientation of galactosyl groups with respect to the interface. Furthermore, Raman and FTIR spectroscopies show that the acyl chains of the galactolipid mixture are more ordered compared to those of the pure components. These results suggest strong interactions between MGDG and DGDG galactosyl headgroups and these specific physical properties of galactolipids are discussed in relation to their biological interest in wheat seed.
