Membrane phospholipid synthesis and phenotypic correlation of an Escherichia coli pss mutant.
A pair of putatively isogenic pss(Ts) and pss+ (phosphatidylserine synthetase structural gene) strains was constructed and analyzed, together with the revertants, for the physiological consequences of cessation of the optimal synthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). Their in vivo and in vitro abilities to synthetize PE and the growth rates at different temperatures were determined. The rate ...
متن کاملPhospholipid composition and phenotypic correction of an envC division mutant of Escherichia coli.
The cytoplasmic and outer membranes of a nonconditional chain-forming mutant, Escherichia coli PM61 envC, were separated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The phosphatidylglycerol/cardiolipin ratio in both membrane fractions was about one-third as high as in the parental strain P678. The increased level of cardiolipin in PM61 membranes is the result of an alteration of the polyglycero...
متن کاملMembrane phospholipid synthesis in Escherichia coli. Purification, reconstitution, and characterization of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase.
The membrane-bound sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase of Escherichia coli was purified to near homogeneity from Triton X-100 extracts of membranes from strain vL3/pvL1 (Lightner, V. A., Larson, T. J., Tailleur, P., Kantor, G. D., Raetz, C. R. H., Bell, R. M., and Modrich, P. (1980) d Biol. Chem. 255, 9413-9420). This strain contains a hybrid plasmid bearing the pZsB gene, a structural gene...
متن کاملGenetic manipulation of membrane phospholipid composition in Escherichia coli: pgsA mutants defective in phosphatidylglycerol synthesis.
Unique mutants of Escherichia coli K-12, defective in phosphatidylglycerol synthesis, have been isolated from a temperature-sensitive strain incubated at its nonpermissive temperature. The parent strain had excess phosphatidylglycerol by harboring both the pss-1 allele [coding for a temperature-sensitive phosphatidylserine synthase (EC 2.7.8.8)] and the cls- allele (responsible for a defective ...
متن کاملOxygen sensitivity of an Escherichia coli mutant.
Genetic evidence indicates that Oxys-6, an oxygen-sensitive mutant of Escherichia coli AB1157, is defective in the region of the hemB locus. Oxys-6 is capable of growth under aerobic conditions only if cultures are initiated at low-inoculum levels. Aerobic liquid cultures are limited to a cell density of 10(7) cells per ml by the accumulation of a metabolically produced, low-molecular-weight, h...
