Vesicle cycling, which is an important biological event, involves the interplay between membrane lipids and proteins, among which the enzyme phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) plays a critical role. The capacity of PLA(2) to trigger the budding and fission of liquid-ordered (L-o) domains has been examined in palmitoyl-docosahexaenoylphosphatidylcholine (PDPC) and palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine (POPC)/sphingomyelin/cholesterol membranes. They both exhibited a L-o/liquid-disordered (L-d) phase separation. We demonstrated that PLA(2) was able to trigger budding in PDPC-containing vesicles but not POPC ones. The enzymatic activity, line tension, and elasticity of the membrane surrounding the L-o domains are critical for budding. The higher line tension of L-o domains in PDPC mixtures was assigned to the greater difference in order parameters of the coexisting phases. The higher amount of lysophosphatidylcholine generated by PLA(2) in the PDPC-containing mixtures led to a less-rigid membrane, compared to POPC. The more elastic Ld membranes in PDPC mixtures exert a lower counteracting force against the Lo domain bending.
