Overview
The micro-organization of lipids and proteins within the cell membrane is an important but open question.
We investigate ways in which statistical methods could be used to determine existence and properties of lipid organization in cell membranes.

Naturally form bilayers.

Are lipids and proteins arranged randomly
throughout the biomembrane, or is there micro-organization?

Lipid-Lipid Interactions
Gel Domains: Phospholipids with long, ordered chains
Fluid Domains: Phospholipids with short, disordered chains
Cholesterol : Gel domains form a liquid ordered phase
Domain Formation In Model Membranes
![Page 13: Analyzing Spatial Point Patterns in Biology Dr. Maria Byrne Mathbiology and Statistics Seminar September 25 th, 2009.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f4e5503460f94c6fde7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Lipid Raft Hypothesis The cell membrane phase separates into liquid-ordered domains and liquid-disordered domains.
Liquid-Ordered Domains
- “lipid rafts”
- enriched in glycosphingolipids and cholesterol
- act to compartmentalize membrane proteins: involved in signal transduction, protein sorting and membrane transport.

Applications/Relevance
Immune system: Lipid domains are putatively required for antigen recognition (and antibody production).
Vascular system: lipid domains are putatively required for platelet aggregation.
HIV: lipid domains are putatively required to produce virulogical synapses between T-lymphocytes that ennable replication
Cancer: Ras proteins, implicated in 30% of cancers, are thought to signal by compartmentalizing within different domains

Lipid Raft Controversy
• Lipid rafts: Elusive or Illusive? (S. Munro, Cell, 2003)• Recent controversy surrounding lipid rafts. (M. Skwarek, Arch Immunol Ther Exp ,
2004)– “Although there have been many articles concerning LRs, there is still controversy about
their existence in the natural state, their size, definition, and function.” • Lipid Rafts: Real or Artifact? (M. Ediden, Science Signaling Opening Statement,
2001)• Lipid rafts: contentious only from simplistic standpoints (J. Hancock, Opinion in
Nature Reviews Mol Cell Bio, 2004)• Lipid Rafts Exist as Stable Cholesterol-independent Microdomains in the Brush
Border Membrane of Enterocytes (Hansen et al, Journal of Biol Chem, 2001)• Special Issue: Lipids Rafts (BBA, 2005)
– The controversy arises from the fact that rafts have proven frustratingly difficult to precisely define in cells. We do not yet have an unambiguous picture of raft size, stability, or protein and lipid composition. It is also not clear whether rafts exist in cell membranes constitutively or form only in a regulated manner.

Yet…
The organization of lipids are determined by physical and biological parameters that may greatly constrain the set of possible distributions.
Example: if the distribution of lipids is genuinely random, the entire distribution can be described with just the lipid density.

Domain Radius
• A positive value of H(r) indicates clustering over that spatial scale.
• A negative value of H(r) indicated dispersion over that spatial scale.
• The maximum value of H(r) occurs at r = the radius of maximal aggregation.
• To what extent does this maximum report on the domain radius?
![Page 28: Analyzing Spatial Point Patterns in Biology Dr. Maria Byrne Mathbiology and Statistics Seminar September 25 th, 2009.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f4e5503460f94c6fde7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Domain Radius To what extent does this maximum report on
the domain radius?
Prediction correct within a factor of 2, but the radius is usually over-estimated.
![Page 30: Analyzing Spatial Point Patterns in Biology Dr. Maria Byrne Mathbiology and Statistics Seminar September 25 th, 2009.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f4e5503460f94c6fde7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Domain Radius Prediction correct within a factor of 2, but the
radius is usually over-estimated.
Why: the radius of maximal aggregation occurs when the effects of aggregation within a domain begin to be offset by the dispersion outside the domain, which occurs at a radius somewhere beyond the domain boundary.
![Page 31: Analyzing Spatial Point Patterns in Biology Dr. Maria Byrne Mathbiology and Statistics Seminar September 25 th, 2009.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f4e5503460f94c6fde7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Domain Radius Solution: remove accumulative effects by taking the derivative of
H(r).
Instead of identifying the domain radius, we identify the domain diameter by finding the value of r when the derivative is minimized.

Application: K-ras Nanoclusters
Experimentally derived point pattern with an immunogold density 625 m-2.

Application: K-ras Nanoclusters
Nanoclusters of constant size (~16nm).
Each contains ~3.2 gold particles.
Noise: 56% protein monomeric
![Page 35: Analyzing Spatial Point Patterns in Biology Dr. Maria Byrne Mathbiology and Statistics Seminar September 25 th, 2009.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f4e5503460f94c6fde7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Application: K-ras Nanoclusters
Method:
(1) Use Ripley’s K to estimate domain size for the experimental image. (14 nm)
(2) Use Monte Carlo generated images to estimate error due to noise.
![Page 36: Analyzing Spatial Point Patterns in Biology Dr. Maria Byrne Mathbiology and Statistics Seminar September 25 th, 2009.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f4e5503460f94c6fde7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Effect of “Non-Random” Noise
•Points non-randomly dispersed within domains.(significant effect!)
•Domains not approximately disk-shaped.(significant effect!)
•Interconnected or finger-like domains.(method: useless)
Immediate challenge: how to ‘parametrize’ non-random noise?

D. ConclusionsAnd Questions
![Page 38: Analyzing Spatial Point Patterns in Biology Dr. Maria Byrne Mathbiology and Statistics Seminar September 25 th, 2009.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f4e5503460f94c6fde7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Conclusions• Ripley’s K can be used to determine
domain radius if points are arranged randomly within domain.
• The measure is robust to random noise.
• The measure is sensitive to systematic / patterned noise.
![Page 39: Analyzing Spatial Point Patterns in Biology Dr. Maria Byrne Mathbiology and Statistics Seminar September 25 th, 2009.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f4e5503460f94c6fde7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Question• It’s relatively straight-forward to measure the extent
to which a pattern holds.
• Determining which patterns hold is an ad hoc process.– Are the particles aggregated?– Are the particles separated?– Are the particles arranged in predetermined ways?
• More difficult to know if any pattern holds.
• To what extent can the problem of “finding pattern” be framed so that it may be (more) well-defined? In general, how can one identify pattern?
