The effect of products resulting from thermophilous methane fermentation on the accumulation and ratio of different lactic acid bacteria (Str. lactis, Str. cremoris, Str. diacetilactis, Str. diacetil. var. acetoinicus, Leuc. citrovorum8 L. plantarum) was investigated upon their combined cultivation in milk and serum. In combined cultivation of the streptococcal culture the rate of growth of a single strain differed from that in separate cultivation. Str. cremoris was accumulated with the highest rate during its separate cultivation and with the lowest rate during its combined cultivation. An addition of products of thermophilous methane fermentation to the combined culture of streptococci of different strains increased the growth rate and accumulation of each strain. At the same time the products influenced differently the quantitative ratios of various strains in the resulting biomass. For instance, the relative content of Str. cremoris and Leuc. citrovorum decreased insignificantly and that of Str. lactis and Str. diacetil. var. acetoin.increased. The combined cultivation of the five streptococcal strains with L. plantarum in the medium containing no additions of thermophilous methane fermentation products increased the relative content of L. plantarum from the beginning of fermentation. In the medium containing the additions of this parameter varied sinusoidally with a minimum of 6 to 9 hours. Possible mechanisms of these changes are discussed. 相似文献

In vitro incubation of thymocytes with [2-14C]acetate results in a more intensive label incorporation into chromatin lipids as compared to nuclear lipids. The deleterious effect of gamma-irradiation leads to specific changes in [2-14C]acetate incorporation into the total fraction of phosphatidylcholine-phosphatidylserine and chromatin sphingomyelin. This is paralleled with an increase in the ratio of specific radioactivities of chromatin cardiolipin and nuclear cardiolipin. The changes in specific radioactivities of sphingomyelin, phosphatidylcholine-phosphatidylserine and cardiolipin suggest a role of phospholipids in the mechanisms of regulating the activity of intranuclear structures. 相似文献

Phospholipids from Paramecium tetraurelia strains 51s and d,95 cultures and isolated cilia were characterized. The following classes of phospholipids were identified in whole cell lipids: the 1-alkyl-2–acylglyceryl and the 1,2–diacylglyceryl forms of phosphonylethanolamine, phosphorylethanolamine. and phosphorylcholine; cardiolipin: ceramide aminoethylphosphonate and 5 other sphingolipids: phosphatidylserine; phosphatidylinositol; and lyso derivatives of the major glycerophospholipids. Cilia lipids were rich in ether lipids, phosphonolipids. and sphingolipids. Net lipid biosynthesis did not occur, as determined by the weight of lipids extracted from culture medium compared with the weight of lipids extracted from culture medium and ciliates after 7 days of growth. Total lipids/cell decreased with culture age. changes in the neutral lipid fraction accounting for the major decrease. Phospholipid class distributions changed with culture age—the glyceryl phosphorylethanolamine and choline content of cells decreased, while the glyceryl ohosphonylethanolamine content remained relatively constant: hence, the ratio of phosphonolipids to total phospholipids increased. All fatty acids observed in total lipids from cells and cilia were also present in the glycerophospholipids. Total lipids from cilia contained a greater percent of polyunsaturated fatty acid than those of whole cells. Whole cells and cilia glyceryl phosphonolipids contained up to 93% eicosatetraenoic plus eicosapentaenoic fatty acids. The enrichment of phosphonolipids in cilia accounted for most of the polyunsaturated fatty acid enrichment observed in cilia total lipids. The fatty acid composition of all major whole cell glycerophospholipid classes changed dramatically with culture age, while only small changes occurred in cilia glycerophospholipid fatty acids. 相似文献

Streptococcus diacetilactis required acetate, contained acetate kinase and phosphotransacetylase, and incorporated both radioactive exogenous acetate and acetate from citrate into cell lipids. dl-alpha-Lipoic acid replaced acetate and was required for the oxidation of pyruvate. Stimulation of S. diacetilactis by citrate was found to depend on pyruvate oxidation. Resting cells of the organism produced acetate from 73% of the pyruvate they utilized. However, molar growth yields from glucose were not greater under aerobic compared to anaerobic conditions or when lipoic acid or citrate plus lipoic acid was used in the medium in place of acetate. Data indicate that the growth of S. diacetilactis is limited by the rate of acetyl-coenzyme A synthesis, that the rate of synthesis from pyruvate is higher than the rate from acetate, and that lack of acetyl-coenzyme A not required for growth limits the production of diacetyl and precludes the formation of adenosine triphosphate from acetyl-coenzyme A. 相似文献

Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) initiate pathways of cell death in which caspase activation
is mediated either directly (without mitochondrial amplification), or indirectly via the release of apoptogenic factors from
mitochondria. Phospholipid scramblases (PLS) are enzymes that play a key role in cellular function by inducing bidirectional
movement of membrane lipids. Changes in mitochondrial membrane lipids, cardiolipin, are critical for mediating apoptotic response
in many cell-types. PLS3 is a phospholipid scramblase that is localized to mitochondria and is thought to be involved in the
regulation of apoptotic signals. Here we report that exogenous-expression of PLS3 enhances apoptotic death induced by TRAIL.
This is acheived by potentiating the mitochondrial arm of the death pathway. Thereby, PLS3 expression facilitates changes
in mitochondrial membrane lipids that promote the release of apoptogenic factors and consequent full activation and processing
of the caspase-9 and effector caspase-3. Moreover, we show that knock-down of endogenous PLS3 suppresses TRAIL-induced changes
in cardiolipin. Finally, we demonstrate that TRAIL-induced activation of PKC-delta mediates regulation of the PLS3-induced
changes in cardiolipin. 相似文献

Many recent studies highlight the importance of lipids in membrane proteins, including in the formation of well-ordered crystals. To examine the effect of changes in one lipid, cardiolipin, on the lipid profile and the production, function, and crystallization of an intrinsic membrane protein, cytochrome c oxidase, we mutated the cardiolipin synthase (cls) gene of Rhodobacter sphaeroides, causing a >90% reduction in cardiolipin content in vivo and selective changes in the abundances of other lipids. Under these conditions, a fully native cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) was produced, as indicated by its activity, spectral properties, and crystal characteristics. Analysis by MALDI tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) revealed that the cardiolipin level in CcO crystals, as in the membranes, was greatly decreased. Lipid species present in the crystals were directly analyzed for the first time using MS/MS, documenting their identities and fatty acid chain composition. The fatty acid content of cardiolipin in R. sphaeroides CcO (predominantly 18:1) differs from that in mammalian CcO (18:2). In contrast to the cardiolipin dependence of mammalian CcO activity, major depletion of cardiolipin in R. sphaeroides did not impact any aspect of CcO structure or behavior, suggesting a greater tolerance of interchange of cardiolipin with other lipids in this bacterial system. 相似文献

The effect of inorganic phosphate on biosynthesis of the polyenic antibiotic levorin by Streptomyces levoris and composition of the culture mycelium was studied. It was found that the synthetic medium with 0.4 mM of phosphate was optimal for growth of Str. levoris. When the concentration of phosphate was higher, the biomass increased, while the synthesis of levorin appeared to be inhibited and morphological changes in the culture were observed. Phosphate had a significant effect on the mycelium composition. When its concentration was increased 10 times as compared to the optimal one, the amounts of protein, RNA, total phosphorus and polyphosphates increased 1.3--1.4, 1.6--1.7, 2--3 and 10 times respectively, while the synthesis of levorin decreased 5 times. Changes in the lipid component of the mycelium were also observed. In the absence of inorganic phosphate in the medium the acetone precipitating fraction of the lipids contained 20--40 per cent of the phosphoruless compounds. During cultivation their portion increased up to 70--77 per cent. However, in the presence of its excess the polar lipids were represented only by phospholipids during the whole life cycle. The fatty acid spectrum of the lipids did not depend on the phosphate concentration and was represented mainly by saturated fatty acids with a branched chain of a series of iso- and anteiso-structures containing 14--18 carbon atoms. 相似文献

Although many proteins are known to localize in bacterial cells, for the most part our understanding of how such localization takes place is limited. Recent evidence that the phospholipid cardiolipin localizes to the poles of rod-shaped bacteria suggests that targeting of some proteins may rely on the heterogeneous distribution of membrane lipids. Membrane curvature has been proposed as a factor in the polar localization of high-intrinsic-curvature lipids, but the small size of lipids compared to the dimensions of the cell means that single molecules cannot stably localize. At the other extreme, phase separation of the membrane energetically favors a single domain of such lipids at one pole. We have proposed a physical mechanism in which osmotic pinning of the membrane to the cell wall naturally produces microphase separation, i.e., lipid domains of finite size, whose aggregate sensitivity to cell curvature can support spontaneous and stable localization to both poles. Here, we demonstrate that variations in the strength of pinning of the membrane to the cell wall can also act as a strong localization mechanism, in agreement with observations of cardiolipin relocalization from the poles to the septum during sporulation in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. In addition, we rigorously determine the relationship between localization and the domain-size distribution including the effects of entropy, and quantify the strength of domain-domain interactions. Our model predicts a critical concentration of cardiolipin below which domains will not form and hence polar localization will not take place. This observation is consistent with recent experiments showing that in Escherichia coli cells with reduced cardiolipin concentrations, cardiolipin and the osmoregulatory protein ProP fail to localize to the poles. 相似文献

During temperature acclimation of Tetrahymena pyriformis, the changes in fluidity and composition of total lipids from three membrane fractions, mitochondria, pellicles and microsomes were studied by a spin-label technique using a stearate probe and thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatography. The increase of fluidity observed in microsomal and pellicular lipids following the temperature shift from 39 to 15 degrees C corresponds with the increase of the ratio of total unsaturated to saturated fatty acid content. However, despite the increase of this ratio, the fluidity of mitochondrial lipids was found to be constant up to 10 h after the temperature shift. The fluidity of total lipids of mitochondria isolated from Tetrahymena cells grown at 39 degrees C was not changed by removal of cardiolipin, whereas cardiolipin-depleted lipids of mitochondria from 15 degrees C-acclimated cells showed a decrease in fluidity. The re-addition of cardiolipin to the mitochondrial lipids depleted of cardiolipin restored the fluidity to the initial level, thereby confirming the rigidifying effect of cardiolipin in cold-acclimated cells. These results suggest that cardiolipin may be implicated in maintaining consistent fluidity of mitochondrial membranes against change in thermal environment. 相似文献

The total glycolipids, gangliosides, neutral lipids and some individual lipids of these fractions were isolated from the whole lipid extract of the mouse liver cell suspension. The antigenic activity of the isolated lipids was studied with the complement fixation test using the rabbit antisera against the liver cell ghosts. Active lipids were: glycosphingolipids, gangliosides, cardiolipin and fraction containing polar glyco- and phospholipid mixture. The cardiolipins isolated from animal cells of some species differed in their antigenic activity. With the immunofluorescence method, the absorbtion of antighost sera by lipid haptens resulted in a decreased fluorescence of plasma membranes of cells in the liver sections. This fact may evidence for the membrane localization of the studied haptens. 相似文献

The lipid composition of fluorescent vibrios, V. eltor and nonagglutinating vibrios has been studied. In the fraction of polar lipids phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and cardiolipin and in the fraction of neutral lipids monoglycerides, free fatty acids, diglycerides, triglycerides, sterol esters have been identified. The fatty acid composition of some classes of neutral lipids have been determined. Both similarity and differences between the strains under study in their lipid and fatty acid composition have been established. 相似文献

Insulin secretion by pancreatic islet beta-cells is impaired in diabetes mellitus, and normal beta-cells are enriched in phospholipids with arachidonate as sn-2 substituent. Such molecules may play structural roles in exocytotic membrane fusion or serve as substrates for phospholipases activated by insulin secretagogues. INS-1 insulinoma cells respond to secretagogues and permit the study of effects of culture with free fatty acids on phospholipid composition and secretion. INS-1 cell glycerophosphocholine (GPC) and glycerophosphoethanolamine (GPE) lipids are demonstrated here by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry to contain a lower fraction of molecules with arachidonate and a higher fraction with oleate as sn-2 substituent than native islets. Palmitic acid supplementation induces little change in these INS-1 cell lipids, but supplementation with linoleate or arachidonate induces a large rise in the fraction of INS-1 cell GPC species with polyunsaturated sn-2 substituents and a fall in oleate-containing species to yield a GPC profile similar to native islets. The fraction of GPE lipids comprised of plasmenylethanolamine species with polyunsaturated sn-2 substituents in early-passage INS-1 cells is similar to that of islets, but declines on serial passage. Such molecules might participate in exocytotic membrane fusion, and late-passage INS-1 cells have reduced insulin secretory responses. Arachidonate supplementation induces a rise in the fraction of INS-1 cell GPE lipids with polyunsaturated sn-2 substituents and partially restores responses to insulin secretagogues by late-passage INS-1 cells, but does not further amplify secretion by early-passage cells. Effects of extracellular free fatty acids on beta-cell phospholipid composition and secretory responses could be involved in changes in beta-cell function during the period of hyper-free fatty acidemia that precedes diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

In the present study, we investigated the dynamic alterations in mitochondrial lipids occurring during Fas- and radiation-induced cell death. Cross-linking of CD-95 on Fas-sensitive Jurkat cells produced rapid increases in two species of mitochondrial phosphatidylglycerol. By 2.5 h, phosphatidylglycerol decreases below basal levels, concomitant with an increase in mitochondrial ceramide. In addition, between 1.5 and 3.0 h after anti-Fas crosslinking, there is a continued loss of mitochondrial cardiolipin. When gamma irradiation was used to induce apoptosis, similar lipid changes occurred, although with somewhat slower kinetics. Fas-resistant Jurkat cells exhibited phosphatidylglycerol as the dominant lipid species in their mitochondria. Following Fas ligation, there is a transient decrease in phosphatidylglycerol, but cardiolipin and ceramide remained unchanged. The high basal levels of PG in Fas-resistant cells and the increase in PG levels in Fas-sensitive cells undergoing apoptosis was determined to be due to increased PGP synthase activity. Thus, critical mitochondrial lipids could potentially serve as novel targets in regulating the apoptotic process. 相似文献

A selective interaction of rat liver carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I with cardiolipin, and other anionic phospholipids, has been demonstrated. The enzymatic activity of the synthetase is inhibited by cardiolipin and, to a lesser extent, by phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylserine. This group of anionic phospholipids also induced a conformational change in the synthetase, yielding a species with increased exposure of the linkages between independently folded domains of the enzyme, as determined by limited proteolysis under nondenaturing conditions. The interaction of cardiolipin with carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I was a fairly slow process, with complex kinetics, and was apparently irreversible. The inclusion of Mg2+ or of MgATP in the incubation mixture prevented the cardiolipin effects. The zwitterionic phospholipids phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine had negligible effects on the structure and activity of the synthetase. This interaction between cardiolipin and carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I potentially constitutes one of the mechanisms by which the synthetase forms its loose association with the inner mitochondrial membrane. Multiple mechanisms, including synthetase conformational changes, cardiolipin phase changes, and ATP/ADP binding site involvement, are possibly involved in the phospholipid/synthetase interaction and the resulting potential regulatory mechanism(s) for urea cycle activity. 相似文献

Cell survival from the arrested state can be a cause of the cancer recurrence. Transition from the arrest state to the growth state is highly regulated by mitochondrial activity, which is related to the lipid compositions of the mitochondrial membrane. Cardiolipin is a critical phospholipid for the mitochondrial integrity and functions. We examined the changes of cardiolipin species by LC-MS in the transition between cell cycle arrest and cell reviving in HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells. We have identified 41 cardiolipin species by MS/MS and semi-quantitated them to analyze the detailed changes of cardiolipin species. The mass spectra of cardiolipin with the same carbon number form an envelope, and the C64, C66, C68, C70 C72 and C74 envelopes in HT1080 cells show a normal distribution in the full scan mass spectrum. The cardiolipin quantity in a cell decreases while entering the cell cycle arrest, but maintains at a similar level through cell survival. While cells awakening from the arrested state and preparing itself for replication, the groups with short acyl chains, such as C64, C66 and C68 show a decrease of cardiolipin percentage, but the groups with long acyl chains, such as C70 and C72 display an increase of cardiolipin percentage. Interestingly, the trends of the cardiolipin species changes during the arresting state are completely opposite to cell growing state. Our results indicate that the cardiolipin species shift from the short chain to long chain cardiolipin during the transition from cell cycle arrest to cell progression. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate, using a pulse-chase technique, the different incorporation of (1-(14)C) n -9, n -6 and n 3 fatty acids into hepatoma lipids and their secretion to the culture medium. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) accumulated preferentially into the triacylglycerol while arachidonic acid (AA) did into the phospholipid fraction. DHA was poorly secreted to the culture medium whereas AA was secreted to a large extent. The fatty acids were initially esterified mainly into phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. During the 24 h chase, a general shift from phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylethanolamine was observed. Linoleic acid was esterified in cardiolipin to a much greater extent than any other fatty acid and it was not converted to more polyunsaturated fatty acids.The supplementation of the culture medium with polyunsaturated fatty acids had no inhibitory effect on the growth of the hepatoma cells, in marked contrast to observations made in other tumoral cells. The reasons for the resistance of the hepatoma cells to polyunsaturated fatty acid toxicity, including the possible antioxidant effect of linoleic acid accumulation in cardiolipin, are also discussed. 相似文献

Mutants of Escherichia coli defective in phosphatidylserine synthetase (pss) make less phosphatidylethanolamine than normal cells, and they are temperature sensitive for growth. We have isolated a new mutant, designated RA2021, which is better than previously available strains in that the residual phosphatidylethanolamine level approaches 25% after 4 h at 42 degrees C. The total amount of phospholipid normalized to the density of the culture is about the same in RA2021 (pss-21) as in the isogenic wild-type RA2000 (pss(+)). Consequently, there is a net accumulation of polyglycerophosphatides in the mutant, particularly of cardiolipin. The addition of 10 to 20 mM MgCl(2) to a culture of RA2021 prolongs growth under nonpermissive conditions and prevents loss of cell viability, but it does not eliminate the temperature-sensitive phenotype. Divalent cations, like Mg(2+), do not correct the phospholipid composition of the mutant, but may act indirectly by balancing the negative charges of phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin. To determine the effects of the pss mutation on membrane composition, we have examined the subcellular distribution of the polyglycerophosphatides that accumulate in these strains. All of the excess anionic lipids of RA2021 are associated with the envelope fraction and are distributed equally between the inner and outer membranes. The protein compositions of the isolated membranes do not differ significantly in the mutant and wild type. The fatty acid composition of RA2021 is almost the same as wild type at 30 degrees C, but there is more palmitic and cyclopropane fatty acid at 42 degrees C. These results demonstrate that the modification of the polar lipid composition observed in pss mutants affects both membranes and that cardiolipin, which is not ordinarily present in large quantities, can accumulate in the outer membrane when it is overproduced by the cell. The altered polar headgroup composition of the outer membrane in pss mutants may account, in part, for their hypersensitivity to the aminoglycoside antibiotics. 相似文献

Multilamellar liposomes containing pure phosphatidylcholine (PC) or mixtures of PC with cholesterol, cholesteryl palmitate, beta-carotene, cardiolipin, phosphatidylethanolamine or gramicidin A have been treated with the detergent Triton X-100. Solubilization has been monitored as a decrease in turbidity of the liposome suspension, and also by determination of bilayer components in the solubilized fraction. The same solubilization pattern is found for unsaturated (egg yolk) or saturated (dimyristoyl) PC. Similar results are also found when dimyristoyl PC is solubilized above or below its gel-to-fluid transition temperature. Cholesterol solubilizes in parallel with PC; gramicidin A is solubilized preferentially to this phospholipid and the non-polar lipids cholesteryl palmitate or beta-carotene remain insoluble at detergent concentrations producing complete PC solubilization. Addition of cardiolipin or phosphatidylethanolamine does not seem to alter the general pattern of PC solubilization. Phosphatidylethanolamine is less soluble than PC, while cardiolipin solubilizes at the same detergent concentrations than PC. These results are considered in relation to previous studies with natural membranes. 相似文献

The lipid composition of the extremely halophilic bacterium Salinibacter ruber (Bacteroidetes) was investigated by thin layer chromatography, gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. Polar lipids represent about 80% of the total lipid extract. The main polar lipids are a sulfonic acid analogue of ceramide (or capnine analogue), phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, dimethylphosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, cardiolipin or bisphosphatidylglycerol, and a glycolipid. The major acyl chains in the phospholipids are C16:1 Delta9cis and C18:1 Delta11cis, while the sulfonolipid contains an amide-bound iso C15:0 fatty acid. On changing the salinity of the culture medium, no significant differences were found in the lipid profile or the unsaturation of the lipid fatty acyl chains. The structure of the cardiolipin, which represents 20% of polar lipids, has been elucidated by gas chromatography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry analysis. 相似文献
