The interaction of botulinum neurotoxins serotypes A, B and E (from Clostridium botulinum) and of tetanus neurotoxin (from Clostridium tetani) with the surface of liposomes made of different lipid compositions was studied by photolabelling with a radioiodinated photoactive phosphatidylethanolamine analogue [125I-dipalmitoyl (3,4-azidosalicylamido)phosphatidylethanolamine]. When the vesicles were made of negatively charged lipids (asolectin), each of these neurotoxic proteins was radioiodinated, thus providing evidence for their attachment to the membrane surface. The presence of gangliosides on liposome membranes enhanced fixation of the neurotoxic proteins to the lipid vesicle surface. Both the heavy and light chains of the clostridial neurotoxins were involved in the attachment to the lipid bilayer surface. Each of the toxins tested here attached poorly to liposomes made of zwitterionic lipids (egg phosphatidylcholine), even when polysialogangliosides were present. The data suggest that the binding of botulinum and tetanus neurotoxins to their target neuronal cells involves negatively charged lipids and polysialogangliosides on the cell membrane.

An improved small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) method for determining asymmetric lipid bilayer structure in unilamellar vesicles is presented. From scattering theory, analytic expressions are derived for the bilayer form factor over flat and spherical geometries, assuming the lipid bilayer electron density to be composed of a series of Gaussian shells. This is in contrast to both classic diffraction and Guinier hard-shell SAXS methods which, respectively, are capable only of ascertaining symmetric bilayer structure and limited-resolution asymmetric structure. Using model fitting and direct calculation of the form factor, using only one equation, an asymmetric electron density profile of the lipid vesicle is obtained with high accuracy, as well as the average radius. The analysis suggests that the inner leaflet of a unilamellar lipid vesicle is `rougher' than the outer one.
