    Abstract Lipids play a major role in bacterial cells. Foremost, lipids are the primary constituents of the cell membrane bilayer, providing structure and separating the cell from the surrounding environment. This makes the lipid bilayer a prime target for antimicrobial peptides and membrane-acting antibiotics such as daptomycin. In response, bacteria have evolved mechanisms by which the membrane can be adapted to resist attack by these antimicrobial compounds. In this review, we focus on the membrane phospholipid changes associated with daptomycin resistance in enterococci,

    Abstract Cardiolipin is a hallmark phospholipid of mitochondrial membranes. Despite established significance of cardiolipin in supporting respiratory supercomplex organization, a mechanistic understanding of this lipid-protein interaction is still lacking.

    Abstract Daptomycin is a last-resort lipopeptide antibiotic that disrupts cell membrane (CM) and peptidoglycan homeostasis. Enterococcus faecalis has developed a sophisticated mechanism to avoid daptomycin killing by re-distributing CM anionic phospholipids away from the septum. The CM changes are orchestrated by a three-component regulatory system, designated LiaFSR, with a possible contribution of cardiolipin synthase (Cls). However, the mechanism by which LiaFSR controls the CM response and the role of Cls are unknown. Here, we show that cardiolipin synthase activity is essential for anionic phospholipid redistribution and daptomycin resistance since deletion of the two genes (

    Abstract The role for specific lipids in the spatial distribution of the membrane proteins and formation of the lipid-protein membrane domains is an emerging theme in the studies of the supramolecular organization of the bacterial cell. A combination of the lipid and protein visualization techniques with manipulation of the cell lipid composition provides a useful tool for these studies. This MicroCommentary reviews the first experimental example demonstrating an involvement of the phospholipid cardiolipin in recruitment of a membrane protein (specifically H(+)-osmoprotectant symporter ProP) to the Escherichia coli cell poles. The properties of cardiolipin domains employed in creating a specific environment for structural organization and function of membrane protein complexes are also discussed.

    Abstract The organization of individual respiratory Complexes I, III, and IV (mammalian cells) or III and IV (yeast) of the mitochondria into higher order supercomplexes (SCs) is generally accepted. However, the factors that regulate SC formation and the functional significance of SCs are not well understood. The mitochondrial signature phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) plays a central role in formation and stability of respiratory SCs from yeast to man. Studies in yeast mutants in which the CL level can be regulated displayed a direct correlation between CL levels and SC formation. Disease states in which CL levels are reduced also show defects in SC formation. Three-dimensional density maps of yeast and bovine SCs by electron cryo-microscopy show gaps between the transmembrane-localized interfaces of individual complexes consistent with the large excess of CL in SCs over that integrated into the structure of individual respiratory complexes. Finally, the yeast SC composed of Complex III and two Complexes IV was reconstituted in liposomes from purified individual complexes containing integrated CLs. Reconstitution was wholly dependent on inclusion of additional CL in the liposomes. Therefore, non-integral CL molecules play an important role in SC formation and may be involved in regulation of SC stability under metabolic conditions where CL levels fluctuate.

    Abstract Circadian clocks regulate metabolic processes in a tissue-specific manner, which deteriorates during aging. Skeletal muscle is the largest metabolic organ in our body, and our previous studies highlight a key role of circadian regulation of skeletal muscle mitochondria in healthy aging. However, a possible circadian regulation of cardiolipin (CL), the signature lipid class in the mitochondrial inner membrane, remains largely unclear. Here, we show that CL levels oscillate during the diurnal cycle in C2C12 myotubes. Disruption of the

    Abstract The bacterial membrane exhibits a significantly heterogeneous distribution of lipids and proteins. This heterogeneity results mainly from lipid-lipid, protein-protein, and lipid-protein associations which are orchestrated by the coupled transcription, translation and insertion of nascent proteins into and through membrane (transertion). Transertion is central not only to the individual assembly and disassembly of large physically linked groups of macromolecules (alias hyperstructures) but also to the interactions between these hyperstructures. We review here these interactions in the context of the processes in Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli of nutrient sensing, membrane synthesis, cytoskeletal dynamics, DNA replication, chromosome segregation, and cell division.
