In Vivo and in Vitro Synthesis of Phosphatidylglycerol by an Escherichia coli Cardiolipin Synthase.
Li, Chijun; Tan, Brandon K; Zhao, Jinshi; Guan, Ziqiang (J Biol Chem, 2016-11-25)Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) makes up 5-20% of the phospholipids of Escherichia coli and is essential for growth in wild-type cells. PG is synthesized from the dephosphorylation of its immediate precursor, phosphatidylglycerol ... -
Structure of the polyisoprenyl-phosphate glycosyltransferase GtrB and insights into the mechanism of catalysis.
Ardiccioni, Chiara; Clarke, Oliver B; Tomasek, David; Issa, Habon A; von Alpen, Desiree C; Pond, Heather L; Banerjee, Surajit; ... (18 authors) (Nat Commun, 2016-01-05)The attachment of a sugar to a hydrophobic polyisoprenyl carrier is the first step for all extracellular glycosylation processes. The enzymes that perform these reactions, polyisoprenyl-glycosyltransferases (PI-GTs) include ...
