physiological function | in comparison with Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria in general have much less zwitterionic phosphatidylethanolamine. They are known for producing aminoacylated phosphatidylglycerol (PG), especially positively charged L-lysyl-PG, which is catalyzed by lysyl-PG synthase MprF. Enzyme MprF appears to have a broad range of specificity for L-aminoacyl transfer RNAs. Lipids from Bacillus subtilis are extremely abundant in lysyl-PG and somewhat rich in alanyl-PG. It appears that N-succinylation of lipids in Bacillus subtilis strain 168 is specific to lysyl-PG but not alanyl-PG | Bacillus subtilis |
