Structures, functions, and syntheses of glycero-glycophospholipids Open
Biological membranes consist of integral and peripheral protein-associated lipid bilayers. Although constituent lipids vary among cells, membrane lipids are mainly classified as phospholipids, glycolipids, and sterols. Phospholipids are fu…

Key contributions of a glycolipid to membrane protein integration Open
Regulation of membrane protein integration involves molecular devices such as Sec-translocons or the insertase YidC. We have identified an integration-promoting factor in the inner membrane of Escherichia coli called membrane protein integ…

Structural Requirements of a Glycolipid MPIase for Membrane Protein Integration Open
MPIase is a glycolipid involved in membrane protein integration in the inner membrane of Escherichia coli . To overcome the trace amounts and heterogeneity of natural MPIase, we systematically synthesized MPIase analogs. Structure‐activity…

Diaminoanthraquinone Enhances Alkaloid Ionization in MALDI-MS Open
The alkaloids epinastine, 3-methylxanthine and camptothecin were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). The ionization efficiencies of epinastine and 3-methylxanthine were improved upon the ad…

Multimatrix Variation Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry as a Tool for Determining the Bonding of Nitrogen Atoms in Alkaloids Open
The reactivity of alkaloids in dehydrogenation was investigated using multimatrix variation matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) of over 20 different alkaloids with six matrices. The dehydrogenated molec…

Role of a bacterial glycolipid in Sec-independent membrane protein insertion Open
Non-proteinaceous components in membranes regulate membrane protein insertion cooperatively with proteinaceous translocons. An endogenous glycolipid in the Escherichia coli membrane called membrane protein integrase (MPIase) is one such co…

Intermolecular Interactions between a Membrane Protein and a Glycolipid Essential for Membrane Protein Integration Open
Inducing newly synthesized proteins to appropriate locations is an indispensable biological function in every organism. Integration of proteins into biomembranes in Escherichia coli is mediated by proteinaceous factors, such as Sec …
