Journal of Lipid Research, 2003 In the purple membrane (PM) of Halobacterium salinarum is present a phospholipid dimer consisting of sulfo-triglycosyl-diether (S-TGD-1) esterified to the phosphate group of phosphatidic acid (PA), i.e., S-TGD-1-PA, called glycocardiolipin (GlyC ...

Archaeal intact polar lipids in polar waters: a comparison between the Amundsen and Scotia seas [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2021 The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is one of the largest potential sources of future sea-level rise, with glaciers draining the WAIS thinning at an accelerating rate over the past 40 years.

Structure and Phase Behavior of Archaeal Lipid Monolayers
Langmuir, 2011 We report X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) measurements of archaeal bipolar tetraether lipid monolayers at the air-water interface. Specifically, Langmuir films made of the polar lipid fraction E (PLFE) isolated from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius grown at three different temperatures ...

The Role of Tetraether Lipid Composition in the Adaptation of Thermophilic Archaea to Acidity
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Diether and tetraether lipids are fundamental components of the archaeal cell membrane. Archaea adjust the degree of tetraether lipid cyclization in order to maintain functional membranes and cellular homeostasis when confronted with pH and/or thermal ...

Salt Tolerance of Archaeal Extremely Halophilic Lipid Membranes [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2006 The membranes of extremely halophilic Archaea are characterized by the abundance of a diacidic phospholipid, archaetidylglycerol methylphosphate (PGP-Me), which accounts for 50-80 mol% of the polar lipids, and by the absence of phospholipids with choline, ethanolamine, inositol, and serine head groups.

Site‐Specific Protein Bioconjugation Through Cellular Incorporation of Noncanonical Amino Acids
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Genetic code expansion (GCE) enables site‐specific installation of noncanonical amino acids containing bioorthogonal conjugation handles, allowing precise, homogeneous protein modification. This review examines the principles of orthogonal translation, surveys the chemistries available for chemoselective labeling, and highlights emerging multi‐site ...

Structural Characterization of an Archaeal Lipid Bilayer as a Function of Hydration and Temperature [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Archaea, the most extremophilic domain of life, contain ether and branched lipids which provide extraordinary bilayer properties. We determined the structural characteristics of diether archaeal-like phospholipids as functions of hydration and temperature by neutron diffraction.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 One of the most distinctive characteristics of archaea is their unique lipids. While the general nature of archaeal lipids has been linked to their tolerance to extreme conditions, little is known about the diversity of lipidic structures archaea are ...
