Abstract excerpt
DgkB is a soluble diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase that is essential for membrane lipid homeostasis in many Gram-positive pathogens. Anionic phospholipids, like phosphatidylglycerol (PtdGro), were required for DgkB to recognize diacylglycerol embedded in a phospholipid bilayer. An activity-independent vesicle binding assay was used to determine the role of specific residues in DgkB-PtdGro interactions. Lys15 and...
