The pH optimum for galactolipid synthesis from UDP-galactose by spinach chloroplasts is 7.2 in Tris-HCl or phosphate buffer. The products include sterol glycosides, trigalactosyl diglyceride (tentatively identified), digalactosyl diglyceride, and monogalactosyl diglyceride in increasing order of
A galactolipid lipase from primary bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) leaves has been used to partially deplete spinach chloroplast inner membranes of their galactolipids. Chloroplasts treated with the lipase in the absence of bovine serum albumin lost 91% of their monogalactosyl diglyceride, 83% of their
Trigalactosyl diglyceride was isolated from leaves of Urtica dioica and characterized by thin layer chromatography, infrared spectroscopy and by its fatty acid composition. An antiserum to the trigalactolipid was obtained by immunization of rabbits. By means of inhibition experiments with
1. Saline extract of sheep pancreas acetone-dried powder was shown to catalyse acyl ester hydrolysis of spinach leaf galactosyl diglycerides and also galactosylglucosyl diglyceride of Lactobacillus casei. 2. Sodium deoxycholate stimulated the enzyme activity. Ca(2+) had no effect on the hydrolysis
The thermal reaction of a lipid-acyl-hydrolase which seems to be important for the quality preservation of vegetable foods, was investigated in spinach. The authors applied a simple in-situ method using thin-layer chromatography which had been developed for the enzyme determination, to follow the
Lipid compositions of undifferentiated maize (Zea mays) chloroplasts, capable of fixing CO(2), were compared with the lipid compositions of mature chloroplasts, which do not fix CO(2), located in both the mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. The major lipids found in all three chloroplast types were
The metabolism of uridine 5'-pyrophosphate-galactose by spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplast preparations was inhibited by ozone. The formation of digalactosyl diglyceride and trigalactosyl diglyceride was inhibited much more than the formation of monogalactosyl diglyceride, steryl glycoside, and
A method is described for the purification of a number of phospholipids by preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Purification of digalactosyl-diglyceride from spinach and egg phosphatidylcholine, 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and
