Disease relevance of lipid I

 

High impact information on lipid I

 

Chemical compound and disease context of lipid I

 

Anatomical context of lipid I

  • MurG was assayed by addition of UDP-[3H]N-acetylglucosamine to membranes in which lipid I was preformed by incubation with UDP-N-acetyl-muramylpentapeptide, and the product was captured by wheat germ agglutinin scintillation proximity assay beads [11].
  • We characterize two assays of total amniotic fluid surfactant that are based on function: the surface-tension lowering ability of extracts of amniotic fluid lipid (I) and the foam stability index test (II) [12].
 

Associations of lipid I with other chemical compounds

  • Our results are consistent with the conclusion that the rff-726 mutation is located in the structural gene for the transferase that catalyzes the transfer of ManNAcA from UDP-ManNAcA to lipid I [2].
 

Gene context of lipid I

  • Formation of the peptidoglycan precursors Lipid I and Lipid II is catalyzed by the gene products of mraY and murG, which are involved in the first and second steps of the lipid cycle reactions, respectively [13].
  • CDS, CTS, CTeS were isolated as minor components (together they accounted for 3% of the total neutral glycolipid fraction), while CMS and the glycolipids (Lipid I, II, and III) with larger saccharide chains that were previously characterized (1--4) occurred as major ones [14].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of lipid I

  • Two versions of the assay were developed, one consisting of the high-pressure liquid chromatography separation of the substrate and product (dansylated lipid I) and the other, without separation and adapted to the high-throughput format, taking advantage of the different fluorescence properties of the nucleotide and lipid I in the reaction medium [15].
