Oxygenic photosynthesis without galactolipids.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 16 Sept 2014

Awai Koichiro, Ohta Hiroyuki, Sato Naoki

Abstract excerpt

The thylakoid membranes of oxygenic photosynthetic organisms are dominated by the galactolipids monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG). In cyanobacteria, MGDG is synthesized via monoglucosyldiacylglycerol (GlcDG). However, the putative epimerase involved in the conversion of GlcDG to MGDG has not been identified. Here we report the identification of the gene for the glucolipid...
