Configuration of the sugar head of glycolipids in thylakoid membranes
Open accessAbstract
Glycolipids constitute the majority of membrane components in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms, whereas they are minor lipids in other organisms. In cyanobacteria, three glycolipids comprise ~90 mol% of the total lipids in thylakoid membranes, where photosynthetic electron transport occurs. Among these glycolipids, 80 mol% are galactolipids (monogalactosyldiacylglycerol and digalactosyldiacylglycerol). Galactolipids are well conserved in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms and are believed to be essential for the integrity of the membrane system. It remains unclear, however, which part(s) of the galactolipid structure is the key factor for their function, e.g., the sugar moiety and/or the anomeric configuration. To address this issue, several bacterial membrane glycolipid synthase genes have been introduced into cyanobacteria to test for complementation of knocked-out genes involved in galactolipid biosynthesis. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the analyses of sugar species and configurations of glycolipids heterologously synthesized in the thylakoid membrane and discuss their functional importance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
