Abstract excerpt
The most widely distributed biosynthetic pathway to initiate phosphatidic acid formation in bacterial membrane phospholipid biosynthesis involves the conversion of acyl-acyl carrier protein to acylphosphate by PlsX and the transfer of the acyl group from acylphosphate to glycerol 3-phosphate by an integral membrane protein, PlsY. The membrane topology of Streptococcus pneumoniae PlsY was determined using the...
