Phosphatidic acid synthesis in Escherichia coli.

چکیده
The kinetic properties of acyl-coenzyme A (CoA): l-alpha-glycerol-phosphate trans-acylase (EC 2.3.1.15) from Escherichia coli were studied. At 10 C, a temperature at which the reaction was proportional to time and enzyme concentration, the enzyme had an apparent K(m) of 60 mum for l-alpha-glycerol-phosphate. The curve describing the velocity of the reaction as a function of palmitoyl-CoA concentration was sigmoid but the plot of v(-1) versus [S](-3) gave a straight line. A K(m) of about 11 mum was calculated for palmitoyl-CoA. Adenosine triphosphate specifically inhibited the reaction, being a noncompetitive inhibitor in respect to l-alpha-glycerol phosphate. Inhibition only occurred with high concentrations of palmitoyl-CoA, and maximal inhibition was 60%.

Pathways for the synthesis of glycerophosphatides in Escherichia coli.
Presently available evidence indicates that phosphatidic acid is an essential intermediate in the biosynthesis of glycerophosphatides in Escherichia coli. Two alternative pathways for the synthesis of phosphatidic acid in E. coli have been proposed, one involving the acylation of L-glycerol j-phosphate, and the second the direct phosphorylation of o, /3-diglyceride, catalyzed by the enzyme digl...
متن کاملPhosphatidic acid accumulation in the membranes of Escherichia coli mutants defective in CDP-diglyceride synthetase.
CTP-phosphatidic acid cytidylyltransferase (CDP-diglyceride synthetase) is a key enzyme in the biogenesis of membrane phospholipids in Escherichia coli. Using a modification of a previously described autoradiographic screening procedure (Raetz, C. R. H. (1975) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 72, 2274-2278), we have isolated six mutant strains in which the specific activity of the synthetase is 1 ...

متن کاملThe Biosynthesis of Phosphatidic Acid and Lysophosphatidic Acid by Glyceride Phosphokinase Pathways in Escherichia Coli.
Phosphatidic acid has been given a key position in the scheme of animal lipid metabolism because of its ability to serve as a presursor of a variety of animal lipids. The recent reports of the biosynthesis of phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylglycerol (1, 2) in Escherichia coli and other bacteria suggest that phosphatidic acid (in the coenzyme form, cytidine diphosphate diglyceride) will also ...
متن کاملMetabolism and Function of Bacterial Lipids. Ii. Biosynthesis of Phospholipids in Escherichia Coli.
In a previous communication (1) we have described some of the general features of the phospholipid metabolism of Escherichia coli B as revealed by experiments in which growing cultures of this organism were labeled with pulses of 32Pi. In such experiments, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine were found to be the principal labeled glycerophosphatides in the fraction of lipids readi...
متن کاملFactors affecting the acyl selectivities of acyltransferases in Escherichia coli.
In Escherichia coli the synthesis of phosphatidic acid from glycerophosphate involves first the intermediate formation of 1-acyl glycerophosphate. This reaction is catalyzed by the membrane-bound acyl-CoA(acyl-ACP):glycerophosphate acyltransferase. The 1-acylglycerophosphate is then converted to phosphatidic acid by acyl-CoA(acyl-ACP):1-acylglycerophosphate acyltransferase (Okuyama, H., and Wak...
