General description

Monoglucosyl diacylglycerol (MGlcDAG) is a nonbilayer (NB)-prone and a foreign neutral glycolipid. It is mainly obtained from diacylglycerol (DAG).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Monoglucosyl diacylglycerol (MGlcDAG) is involved in the glucolipid pathway. It is capable of restoring the transport activity of lactose permease (LacY) in the absence of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE).

1,2-Diacylglycerol 3-glucosyltransferase synthesizes the major nonbilayer-prone lipid monoglucosyldiacylglycerol (MGlcDAG) in the membrane of Acholeplasma laidlawii, which is important for the spontaneous curvature, and is a regulatory site for the lipid surface charge density. A potential connection between activity and a

To determine the specific role lipids play in membrane protein topogenesis in vivo, the orientation with respect to the membrane bilayer of Escherichia coli lactose permease (LacY) transmembrane (TM) domains and their flanking extramembrane domains was compared after assembly in

The mechanisms by which lipid bilayer properties govern or influence membrane protein functions are little understood, but a liquid-crystalline state and the presence of anionic and nonbilayer (NB)-prone lipids seem important. An Escherichia coli mutant lacking the major membrane lipid
