The human pathogen Mycoplasma pneumoniae has a very small genome but with many yet not identified gene functions, e.g. for membrane lipid biosynthesis. Extensive radioactive labelling in vivo and enzyme assays in vitro revealed a substantial capacity for membrane glycolipid biosynthesis, yielding three glycolipids, five phosphoglycolipids, in addition to six phospholipids. Most glycolipids were synthesized in a cell protein/lipid-detergent extract in vitro; galactose was incorporated into all species, whereas glucose only into a few. One (MPN483) of the three predicted glycosyltransferases (GTs; all essential) was both processive and promiscuous, synthesizing most of the identified glycolipids. These enzymes are of a GT-A fold, similar to an established structure, and belong to CAZy GT-family 2. The cloned MPN483 could use both diacylglycerol (DAG) and human ceramide acceptor substrates, and in particular UDP-galactose but also UDP-glucose as donors, making mono-, di- and trihexose variants. MPN483 output and processitivity was strongly influenced by the local lipid environment of anionic lipids. The structure of a major beta1,6GlcbetaGalDAG species was determined by NMR spectroscopy. This, as well as other purified M. pneumoniae glycolipid species, is important antigens in early infections, as revealed from ELISA screens with patient IgM sera, highlighting new aspects of glycolipid function. << Less

Expression and characterization of a Mycoplasma genitalium glycosyltransferase in membrane glycolipid biosynthesis: potential target against mycoplasma infections.

Mycoplasmas contain glycoglycerolipids in their plasma membrane as key structural components involved in bilayer properties and stability. A membrane-associated glycosyltransferase (GT), GT MG517, has been identified in Mycoplasma genitalium, which sequentially produces monoglycosyl- and diglycosyldiacylglycerols. When recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli, the enzyme was functional in vivo and yielded membrane glycolipids from which Glcβ1,6GlcβDAG was identified as the main product. A chaperone co-expression system and extraction with CHAPS detergent afforded soluble protein that was purified by affinity chromatography. GT MG517 transfers glucosyl and galactosyl residues from UDP-Glc and UDP-Gal to dioleoylglycerol (DOG) acceptor to form the corresponding β-glycosyl-DOG, which then acts as acceptor to give β-diglycosyl-DOG products. The enzyme (GT2 family) follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics. k(cat) is about 5-fold higher for UDP-Gal with either DOG or monoglucosyldioleoylglycerol acceptors, but it shows better binding for UDP-Glc than UDP-Gal, as reflected by the lower K(m), which results in similar k(cat)/K(m) values for both donors. Although sequentially adding glycosyl residues with β-1,6 connectivity, the first glycosyltransferase activity (to DOG) is about 1 order of magnitude higher than the second (to monoglucosyldioleoylglycerol). Because the ratio between the non-bilayer-forming monoglycosyldiacylglycerols and the bilayer-prone diglycosyldiacylglycerols contributes to regulate the properties of the plasma membrane, both synthase activities are probably regulated. Dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol (anionic phospholipid) activates the enzyme, k(cat) linearly increasing with dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol concentration. GT MG517 is shown to be encoded by an essential gene, and the addition of GT inhibitors results in cell growth inhibition. It is proposed that glycolipid synthases are potential targets for drug discovery against infections by mycoplasmas. << Less
