Biomembranes assume nonlamellar structures in many cellular events, with the tendency of forming a nonlamellar structure quantified by the monolayer spontaneous curvature, C(0), and with many of these events involving the acts of Ca(2+). Despite this biologically important intimacy, how C(0) is affected by Ca(2+) is unknown. In this study, we use the X-ray diffraction technique and the reconstruction of electron density profiles to measure the C(0)s of a zwitterionic phospholipid, DOPE, and two anionic phospholipids, DOPA and 18 : 1 (9Z) cardiolipin, at temperatures from 20 °C to 40 °C and Ca(2+)s from 0 mM to 100 mM; these phospholipids are chosen to examine the contributions of the electric charge density per molecule. While showing a strong dependence on temperature, C(0,DOPE) is nearly independent of Ca(2+). In contrast, C(0,DOPA) and C(0),cardiolipin are almost unresponsive to the temperature change but affected by the Ca(2+) variation; and C(0,DOPA) varies with Ca(2+) ∼1.5 times more strongly than C(0,cardiolipin), with the phase preferences of DOPA and cardiolipin shifting to the H(II) phase and remaining on the Lα phase, respectively, at Ca(2+) = 100 mM. From these observations, we reveal the effects of modulating the strength of the inter-headgroup repulsion and discuss the mechanisms underlying the phase behaviour and cellular functions of the investigated phospholipids. Most importantly, this study recognizes that the headgroup charge density is dominant in dictating the phase behaviour of the anionic phospholipids, and that the unique molecular characteristics of cardiolipin are critically needed both for maintaining the structural integrity of cardiolipin-rich biomembranes and for fulfilling the biological roles of the phospholipid.
