To cope with environmental stresses, organisms, including lactic acid bacteria such as O. oeni, produce stress proteins called HSPs. In wine, O. oeni is constantly confronted by stress affecting its membrane fluidity. To survive through in these deleterious conditions, O. oeni synthesizes Lo18, a unique, small HSP which acts as a molecular chaperone and a lipochaperone. The molecular mechanism underlying its lipochaperone activity, particularly regarding membrane lipid composition, remains poorly understood. In this context, Lo18 lipochaperone activity and the associated modification in protein structure were studied during interaction with different liposomes from O. oeni cultures representing unstressed, stressed and stressed-adapted physiological states. The results showed that the presence of the membrane (whatever its nature) induces a modification of Lo18's structure. Also, the presence of oleic acid and/or phosphatidylglycerol is important to favor Lo18-membrane interaction, allowing lipochaperone activity. This research enhances understanding of sHSP-membrane interactions in bacterial systems.

Several strategies have been put in place by organisms to adapt to their environment. One of these strategies is the production of stress proteins such as sHSPs, which have been widely described over the last 30 years for their role as molecular chaperones. Some sHSPs have, in addition, the particularity to exert a lipochaperone role by interacting with membrane lipids to maintain an optimal membrane fluidity.

The in vitro trimerization of folded monomers of the bacterial pore protein PhoE, into its native-like, heat- and SDS-stable form requires incubations with isolated cell envelopes and Triton X-100. The possibility that membranes could be isolated that are enriched in assembly factors required for assembly of the pore protein was now investigated. Fractionation of total cell envelopes of Escherichia coli via various techniques indeed revealed the existence of membrane fractions with different capacities to support assembly in vitro.
