Ro09-0198, a cyclic peptide isolated from culture filtrates of Streptoverticillium griseoverticillatum, induced lysis of erythrocytes. Ro-09-0198-induced hemolysis was temperature-dependent and the sensitivity of hemolysis differed greatly among animal species. Preincubation of the peptide with phosphatidylethanolamine reduced the hemolytic activity, whereas other phospholipids present in erythrocytes in nature had no effect. A study of the structural requirements on phosphatidylethanolamine necessary for interaction with the peptide indicates that Ro09-0198 recognizes strictly a particular chemical structure of phosphatidylethanolamine: dialkylphosphoethanolamine as well as 1-acylglycerophosphoethanolamine showed the same inhibitory effct on hemolysis induced by Ro09-0198 as diacylphosphatidyl-ethanolamine, whereas phosphoethanolamine gave no inhibitory effect. Neither phosphatidyl-N-monomethylethanolamine nor alkylphosphopropanolamine had an inhibitory effect. Proton resonances of the peptide were observed in dimethyl sulfoxide solution in the presence of 1-dodecanoyl-sn-glycerophosphoethanolamine. This peptide caused permeability increase and aggregation of liposomes containing phosphatidylethanolamine. A glycerol backbone and a primary amino group of phosphatidylethanolamine are necessary for interaction with Ro09-0198 to cause membrane damage. Ro09-0198 induced a selective permeability change on liposomes. Glucose and umbelliferyl phosphate were effluxed significantly, but sucrose was only slightly permeable and inulin could not be released. Platelet aggregation and serotonin release simultaneously induced by Ro09-0198. Addition of peptide to rat platelet, loaded with the fluorescent $Ca^{++}$ chelator quin-2, caused immediate rise in cytosolic free $Ca^{++}$ to liposomal membrane containing phosphatidylethanolamine was observed dose dependently.

Ro09-0198, a cyclic peptide isolated from culture filtrates of Streptoverticillium griseove-rticillatum, induced platelet aggregation and serotonin release simultaneously. LDH release was not observed. Addition of peptide to rat platelet, loaded with $Ca^{2+}$ chelator quin-2, caused immediate rise in cytosolic free $Ca^{2+}$. Liposomal membrane containing phosphatidylethanolamine was damaged by peptide and released $^{45}Ca$ dose dependently.
