The plant sulfolipid sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol was discovered by A.A. Benson in the late 1950s. The increasing availability
of radioisotope-containing biological substrates such as 35S-sulfate provided the means to discover novel biological compounds and to sketch out their biosynthetic pathways. During
this time the structure of sulfolipid with its 6-deoxy-6-sulfo-α-d-glucose (sulfoquinovose) headgroup was determined. Immediately, the origin of this unusual biological sulfonic acid mystified
the scientific community and several proposals for its biosynthesis were developed and tested. Strong supportive evidence
for the nucleotide pathway of sulfolipid biosynthesis became available with the discovery of the bacterial and plant genes
encoding the enzymes of sulfolipid biosynthesis during the 1990s. This latter work was based on the foundations laid by A.A.
Benson and confirmed one initial hypothesis on sulfolipid biosynthesis. An abbreviated summary of the turning points in defining
the mechanism for sulfolipid biosynthesis and remaining issues in sulfolipid biochemistry are provided. 相似文献

In this work, lipid extracts from spinach membrane fragments enriched in Photosystem II (PSII) and from spinach PSII dimers were analyzed, by means of Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and Electro-Spray Ionization Mass Spectrometry. Cardiolipin found in association with PSII was isolated and purified by preparative TLC, then characterized by mass and mass-mass analyses. Cardiolipin structures with four unsaturated C18 acyl chains and variable saturation degrees were evidenced. Structural and functional effects of different phospholipids on PSII complexes were investigated by Fluorescence, Resonance Light Scattering and Oxygen Evolution Rate measurements. An increment of PSII thermal stability was observed in the presence of cardiolipin and phosphatidylglycerol. 相似文献

UDP-sulfoquinovose synthase, SQD1, catalyzes the transfer of sulfite to UDP-glucose giving rise to UDP-sulfoquinovose, which is the head group donor for the biosynthesis of the plant sulfolipid sulfoquinovosyldiacylglyerol. The native SQD1 enzyme of spinach exists as a 250 kDa heteroprotein complex with much higher affinity for the substrate sulfite than the recombinant SQD1 protein itself. The SQD1 protein co-purified with nine proteins. Likely binding partners included rubisco activase, HSP70, and ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase (FdGOGAT). While the first two proteins are known to interact with many other proteins, the identification of FdGOGAT was most intriguing because this 160kDa protein contains an FMN cofactor known to bind sulfite in vitro. Using different constructs expressing recombinant forms of the multidomain protein FdGOGAT, it was demonstrated that the FMN-binding domain of FdGOGAT is essential for specific binding of the protein to SQD1. A model suggests that FdGOGAT could channel sulfite to SQD1. 相似文献
