Studies on the Diversity of Inositol-Containing Yeast Phospholipids: Incorporation of 2-Deoxyglucose into Lipid

S Steiner 1,1, Robert L Lester 1
PMCID: PMC247254  PMID: 4333384

Abstract

Seven inositol-containing phospholipids in Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be resolved by two-dimensional chromatography on silicic acid-impregnated paper. Four of these lipids are stable to mild alkaline methanolysis; one of these has already been characterized as a mannosyl di(inositolphosphoryl) ceramide. Addition of labeled 2-deoxy-d-glucose to a growing culture results in label appearing in five lipids, some of which are alkali-stable and have the same RF values as the alkali-stable inositol-containing phospholipids. These lipids are labeled rapidly. The deoxyglucose is incorporated intact, probably in a glycosidic link, since the deoxyglucose is released by mild acid treatment.
