Membrane lipid from deep-sea hydrothermal vent methanogen: a new macrocyclic glycerol diether.
The membrane lipid of a new deep-sea hydrothermal vent methanogen, Methanococcus jannaschii, has been structurally characterized. The hydrolyzed polar lipid of this archaebacterium is primarily (95 percent) a macrocyclic glycerol diether, which has not been described previously. The structure was elucidated by a combination of chemical and spectroscopic techniques. An initial survey of selected...
متن کاملArchaebacterial ether lipid diversity analyzed by supercritical fluid chromatography: integration with a bacterial lipid protocol.
A strategy has been developed for archaebacterial lipid analysis which provides three times the information to describe archaebacterial isolates and is compatible with simultaneous eubacterial/eukaryotic lipid analysis of environmental samples. Eubacterial and micro-eukaryotic biomass, community structure, and nutritional status have been routinely defined in environmental samples by lipid anal...
متن کاملMorphology, Biophysical Properties and Protein-Mediated Fusion of Archaeosomes
As variance from standard phospholipids of eubacteria and eukaryotes, archaebacterial diether phospholipids contain branched alcohol chains (phytanol) linked to glycerol exclusively with ether bonds. Giant vesicles (GVs) constituted of different species of archaebacterial diether phospholipids and glycolipids (archaeosomes) were prepared by electroformation and observed under a phase contrast a...
متن کاملArchaebacterial lipid models: stable liposomes from 1-alky1-2-phytanyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines.
1-Alky1-2-phytanyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines (HPhyPC: alkyl = n-C16H33; EPhyPC: alkyl = n-C20H41), which are artificial chimeric lipids between archaebacterial and ordinary glycerolipids, are prepared. Upon sonication in aqueous media, the lipids gave rise to stable unilamellar liposomes having diameter of 200-1,000 A and gel-to-liquid crystalline phase transition temperature of -11.1 degree...
متن کاملInsights into thermophilic archaebacterial membrane stability from simplified models of lipid membranes.
Lipid aggregation into fluid bilayers is an essential process for sustaining life. Simplified models of lipid structure, which allow for long time scales or large length scales not obtainable with all-atom simulations, have recently been developed and show promise for describing lipid dynamics in biological systems. Here, we describe two simplified models, a reduced-lipid model and a bola-lipid...
