Abstract
The biosynthesis of the diglyceride moiety of murein lipoprotein was studied by fusion of labeled phospholipid vesicles with intact cells of Salmonella typhimurium. Phosphatidylglycerol was found to be an excellent donor for the glyceryl moiety in lipoprotein, whereas phosphatidylethanolamine and cardiolipin were not. The incorporation of radioactivity from monoacyl-phosphatidylglycerol into lipoprotein can be attributed to its conversion to phosphatidylglycerol. The results strongly support our hypothesis that the glyceryl residue covalently linked to murein lipoprotein is derived from the nonacylated glycerol moiety of phosphatidylglycerol.Entities:
