General description

N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) phosphoethanolamine (NBD PE) is a fluorescently labeled lipid localized at the membrane interface. The molecule contains NBD label covalently linked to the headgroup of phosphatidylethanolamine. PE is mostly present in the brain and is the second most abundant, metabolically related aminophospholipid.

Application

16:0-06:0 NBD PE is suitable for the determination of enzyme substrate specificity of lipoteichoic acid synthase (LtaS).

Biochem/physiol Actions

N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) phosphoethanolamine (NBD PE) is involved in screening the effects of Red edge excitation shift (REES) experiment with the unique motional and dielectric property it possesses. PE functions as a substrate for a number of phospholipids of the cell membrane.

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
