| Abstract | The enzyme phosphatidylglycerolphosphate synthase (PGPS; CDPdiacylglycerol-glycerol-3-phosphate 3-phosphatidyltransferase; EC 2.7.8.5) catalyzes the committed step in the synthesis of cardiolipin, a phospholipid found predominantly in the mitochondrial inner membrane. To determine whether PGPS is regulated by cross-pathway control, we analyzed PGPS expression under conditions in which the regulation of general phospholipid synthesis could be examined. The addition of inositol resulted in a three- to fivefold reduction in PGPS expression in wild-type cells in the presence or absence of exogenous choline. The reduction in enzyme activity in response to inositol was seen in minutes, suggesting that inactivation or degradation of the enzyme plays an important role in inositol-mediated repression of PGPS. In cho2 and opi3 mutants, which are blocked in phosphatidylcholine synthesis, inositol-mediated repression of PGPS did not occur unless choline was added to the media. Three previously identified genes that regulate general phospholipid synthesis, INO2, INO4, and OP11, did not affect PGPS expression. Thus, ino2 and ino4 mutants, which are unable to derepress biosynthetic enzymes involved in general phospholipid synthesis, expressed wild-type levels of PGPS activity under derepressing conditions. PGPS expression in the opi1 mutant, which exhibits constitutive synthesis of general phospholipid biosynthetic enzymes, was fully repressed in the presence of inositol and partially repressed even in the absence of inositol. These results demonstrate for the first time that an enzymatic step in cardiolipin synthesis is coordinately controlled with general phospholipid synthesis but that this control is not mediated by the same genetic regulatory circuit. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
