Exogenous Ether Lipids Predominantly Target Mitochondria
Ether lipids are ubiquitous constituents of cellular membranes with no discrete cell biological function assigned yet. Using fluorescent polyene-ether lipids we analyzed their intracellular distribution in living cells by microscopy. Mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum accumulated high amounts of ether-phosphatidylcholine and ether-phosphatidylethanolamine. Both lipids were specifically ...

متن کاملBiosynthesis of archaeal membrane ether lipids
A vital function of the cell membrane in all living organism is to maintain the membrane permeability barrier and fluidity. The composition of the phospholipid bilayer is distinct in archaea when compared to bacteria and eukarya. In archaea, isoprenoid hydrocarbon side chains are linked via an ether bond to the sn-glycerol-1-phosphate backbone. In bacteria and eukarya on the other hand, fatty a...
متن کاملEther lipids of planktonic archaea in the marine water column.
Acyclic and cyclic biphytanes derived from the membrane ether lipids of archaea were found in water column particulate and sedimentary organic matter from several oxic and anoxic marine environments. Compound-specific isotope analyses of the carbon skeletons suggest that planktonic archaea utilize an isotopically heavy carbon source such as algal carbohydrates and proteins or dissolved bicarbon...
متن کاملDi- and Tetra-alkyl Ether Lipids of the Archaea
The Archaea represent one of the three primary kingdoms or domains of living organisms. The alternative name ‘archaebacteria’ is considered by some to be redundant. Archaea are single celled, lacking a nuclear membrane and having a low deoxyribonucleic acid content. They include thermophiles, halophiles and acidophiles, collectively termed ‘extremophiles’. Some believe that they resemble the do...
