PlsC gene

The next step in phospholipid biosynthesis is catalyzed by 1-acylglycerol phosphate acyltransferase (the plsC gene product) which acylates the product of the PlsB step to form phosphatidic acid (Fig. 5). Phosphatidic acid comprises only about 0.1% of the total phospholipid in E. coli and turns over rapidly, a property consistent with its role as an intermediate in phospholipid synthesis. The 1-acylglycerol phosphate acyltransferase is thought to transfer unsaturated fatty acids selectively to the 2-position. The plsC gene is universally expressed in bacteria. [Pg.72]
