Phosphatidic acid synthesis in bacteria [PDF]
Membrane phospholipid synthesis is a vital facet of bacterial physiology. Although the spectrum of phospholipid headgroup structures produced by bacteria is large, the key precursor to all of these molecules is phosphatidic acid (PtdOH). Glycerol-3-phosphate derived from the glycolysis via glycerol-phosphate synthase is the universal source for the ...

Mitochondria: Signaling with phosphatidic acid [PDF]
Mitochondria, once viewed as functioning relatively autonomously in the cell, have increasingly been recognized to be involved in numerous signaling networks that impact on a wide range of cell biological processes. In addition to the many types of proteins that mediate these pathways, the importance of signaling functions regulated via lipids and ...

PHOSPHATIDIC ACID SYNTHESIS IN YEAST [PDF]
1. The presence of palmitoyl-CoA-l-glycerol 1-phosphate palmitoyltransferase (EC2.3.1.15) has been demonstrated in a particulate fraction of baker's yeast. 2. The enzyme has been characterized, and its activity studied as a function of pH and concentration of substrates. 3. Inhibition by thiol poisons and protection by acyl-CoA have been used to obtain

Phosphatidic acid modulation of Kv channel voltage sensor function
Membrane phospholipids can function as potent regulators of ion channel function. This study uncovers and investigates the effect of phosphatidic acid on Kv channel gating.

Antiviral nucleoside diphosphate diglycerides: improved synthesis and facilitated purification.
Cytidine diphosphate diglyceride and its analogs have previously been synthesized by condensing phosphatidic acid with the monophosphomorpholidates of the various nucleosides. Yields have been low and purification of the product has been difficult.

Dietary fats are converted into chylomicron triacylglycerols via the 2-monoacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid pathways of acylglycerol formation. In view of the known positional and fatty acid specificity of the acyltransferases, the triacylglycerol ...

The acid-catalyzed isomerization of the diglyceride analog (1,2,3/0)-1,2-dipalmitoylcyclopentane-1,2,3-triol has been used to generate syn-syn-1,3-diacyl-cyclopentane-1,2,3-triol, a required intermediate in the synthesis of a symmetrical all-cis-1,2,3/0 ...

Enzymatic synthesis of cytidine diphosphate diglyceride
Evidence is presented for the enzymatic formation of cytidine diphosphate diglyceride in microsomal preparations from guinea pig liver according to the reaction:CTP + phosphatidic acid ⇌ CDP-diglyceride + P—O—P.Conditions have been found in which the ...
