Abstract	The effect of cholesterol on phospholipid acyl chain packing in bilayers consisting of highly unsaturated acyl chains in the liquid crystalline phase was examined for a series of symmetrically and asymmetrically substituted phosphatidylcholines (PCs). The time-resolved fluorescence emission and decay of fluorescence anisotropy of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) was used to characterize equilibrium and dynamic structural properties of bilayers containing 30 mol % cholesterol. The bilayers were composed of symmetrically substituted PCs with acyl chains of 14:0, 18:1n9, 20:4n6, or 22:6n3, containing 0, 1, 4, or 6 double bonds, respectively, and mixed-chain PCs with a saturated 16:0 sn-1 chain and 1, 4, or 6 double bonds in the sn-2 chain. DPH excited-state lifetime was fit to a Lorentzian lifetime distribution, the center of which was increased 1-2 ns by 30 mol % cholesterol relative to the cholesterol-free bilayers. Lifetime distributions were dramatically narrowed by the addition of cholesterol in all bilayers except the two consisting of dipolyunsaturated PCs. DPH anisotropy decay was interpreted in terms of the Brownian rotational diffusion model. The effect of cholesterol on both the perpendicular diffusion coefficient D perpendicular and the orientational distribution function f(theta) varied with acyl chain unsaturation. In all bilayers, except the two dipolyunsaturated PCs, 30 mol % cholesterol dramatically slowed DPH rotational motion and restricted DPH orientational freedom. The effect of cholesterol was especially diminished in di-22:6n3 PC, suggesting that this phospholipid may be particularly effective at promoting lateral domains, which are cholesterol-rich and unsaturation-rich, respectively. The results are discussed in terms of a model for lipid packing in membranes containing cholesterol and PCs with highly unsaturated acyl chains.
