Abstract excerpt
Photosynthetic organisms alter the lipid composition of the thylakoid membrane in response to environmental conditions. Phosphatidic acid (PA) is the branch point in the biosynthetic pathways of glycolipids and a phospholipid, phosphatidylglycerol (PG). PA and its dephosphorylated form, diacylglycerol (DG), are mutually convertible by PA phosphatase (PAP) and DG kinase (DGK). Thus, the activities of PAP and DGK...
