Biosynthesis of phosphatidyl glycerophosphate in Escherichia coli.
An enzyme (L-glycerol 3-phosphate: CMP phosphatidyltransferase) catalyzing the synthesis of phosphatidyl glycerophosphate from CDP-diglyceride and L-glycerol 3-phosphate has been rendered soluble by treatment of the particulate, membrane-containing fraction of E. coli with Triton X-100 and has been partially purified. The enzyme, devoid of phosphatidyl glycerophosphatase activity, is specific f...
متن کاملProtoplasts and L-type growth of Escherichia coli.
A preceding article (Lederberg, 1956a) was devoted to the evolution of protoplasts from growing cells of Escherichia coli treated with penicillin. Further studies have strengthened the correspondence of these protoplasts with the "large bodies" and "L forms" described for many other bacteria. This paper will give an account of these studies, and an interpretation of others, in support of the hy...
متن کاملUnstable Escherichia coli L forms revisited: growth requires peptidoglycan synthesis.
Growing bacterial L forms are reputed to lack peptidoglycan, although cell division is normally inseparable from septal peptidoglycan synthesis. To explore which cell division functions L forms use, we established a protocol for quantitatively converting a culture of a wild-type Escherichia coli K-12 strain overnight to a growing L-form-like state by use of the beta-lactam cefsulodin, a specifi...
متن کاملLactic and Α-glycerophosphate Dehydrogenases in Insects
Different tissues, especially muscles, from insects belonging to various groups were extracted and studied for their lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GDH I) activities from the comparative point of view. In all cases assays of flight muscle extracts showed extremely low values of LDH activity whereas the GDH activities were surprisingly high. The activities i...
متن کاملAntimonite is accumulated by the glycerol facilitator GlpF in Escherichia coli.
In a search for genes responsible for the accumulation of antimonite in Escherichia coli, TnphoA was used to create a pool of random insertional mutants, from which one antimonite-resistant mutant was isolated. Sequence analysis showed that the TnphoA insertion was located in the glpF gene, coding for the glycerol facilitator GlpF. The mutant was shown to be defective in polyol transport by Glp...
