CDP-diglyceride:inositol transferase, which catalyzes the final step of the de novo synthesis of phosphatidylinositol, was solubilized by sodium cholate from microsomes prepared from rat liver and purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation, sucrose density gradient centrifugation, and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. Addition of phospholipid during the purification and the assay procedures prevented irreversible loss of the enzyme activity to some extent. The resulting preparation was nearly homogeneous as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The recovery of the purified enzyme from the microsomal fraction was 3 to 3.3% with respect to activity and 0.12% with respect to amount of protein. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to be 60,000. The purified enzyme required exogenous phospholipds for its activity. Various phospholipid classes activated the enzyme rather nonspecifically. The Km for myo-inositol was 2.5 X 10(-3) M and that for CDP-diglyceride was 1.7 X 10(-4) M. The pH optimum was 8.6. The enzyme required Mm2+ or Mg2+ for activity. The optimal concentration of Mn2+ for activation was 0.5 mM, while the activity in the presence of Mg2+ increased up to 20 mM. The enzyme was inhibited by thiol-reactive reagents. There was a competition for inositol by inosose-2 but not by scyllitol. << Less

Phosphatidylinositol is an essential phospholipid of mycobacteria.

Phosphatidylinositol (PI) and metabolically derived products such as the phosphatidylinositol mannosides and linear and mature branched lipomannan and lipoarabinomannan are prominent phospholipids/lipoglycans of Mycobacterium sp. believed to play important roles in the structure and physiology of the bacterium as well as during host infection. To determine if PI is an essential phospholipid of mycobacteria, we identified the pgsA gene of Mycobacterium tuberculosis encoding the phosphatidylinositol synthase enzyme and constructed a pgsA conditional mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis. The ability of this mutant to synthesize phosphatidylinositol synthase and subsequently PI was dependent on the presence of a functional copy of the pgsA gene carried on a thermosensitive plasmid. The mutant grew like the control strain under permissive conditions (30 degrees C), but ceased growing when placed at 42 degrees C, a temperature at which the rescue plasmid is lost. Loss of cell viability at 42 degrees C was observed when PI and phosphatidylinositol dimannoside contents dropped to approximately 30 and 50% of the wild-type levels, respectively. This work provides the first evidence of the essentiality of PI to the survival of mycobacteria. PI synthase is thus an essential enzyme of Mycobacterium that shows promise as a drug target for anti-tuberculosis therapy. << Less
