General description

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a membrane phospholipid enriched in the cytosolic leaflet of plasma membrane. It comprises 2-10% of total phospholipids. NBD PS is a flurosently labelled phospholipid with 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl (NBD) at the headgroup of PS.

Application

16:0-06:0 NBD PS has been used as a labelled translocase to detect ATP-dependent translocation across late Golgi membranes. It is also suitable for analysis of phospholipid scramblase 1 (PLSCR1) scrambling in proteoliposomes and to determine enzyme specificity of lipoteichoic acid synthase enzyme (LtaS).
16:0-06:0 NBD PS or 1-palmitoyl-2-{6-[(7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)amino]hexanoyl}-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine (ammonium salt) has been used in the 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl (NBD) − phospholipase (PL) translocation assay to characterize an ATP-dependent flippase activity in yeast Golgi membranes. It may be used: to detect vesicular stomatitis virus G (VSV G) protein mediated cell-cell fusion, measure the enzyme substrate specificity of lipoteichoic acid (LTA) synthase (LtaS), in liposomes to determine the role of phospholipid scramblase 1 (PLSCR1) in phospholipid scrambling.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is involved in the regulation of many enzymes and structural components. It serves as an essential factor in the clearance of apoptotic cells. It is associated with cognitive disability in Alzheimer′s disease.

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is an important cell wall polymer in Gram-positive bacteria. The enzyme responsible for polyglycerolphosphate LTA synthesis is LtaS, first described in Staphylococcus aureus. Four LtaS orthologues, LtaS(BS) , YfnI, YqgS and YvgJ, are present in Bacillus subtilis.

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is an important cell wall component of Gram-positive bacteria. The key enzyme responsible for polyglycerolphosphate lipoteichoic acid synthesis in the Gram-positive pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is the membrane-embedded lipoteichoic acid synthase enzyme, LtaS. It is presumed that LtaS
