Isolation and characterization of new phosphatidylglycerol acetals of plasmalogens. A family of ether lipids in clostridia.
A new phosphatidylglycerol acetal of cardiolipin plasmalogen has been isolated from Clostridium innocuum. The structure was derived from the results of quantitative group analyses, the identification of the products of acid hydrolysis, alkaline methanolysis, hydrolysis by a cardiolipin-specific phospholipase D and by one- and two-dimensional proton NMR. Two other minor ether phospholipids: the lyso form of the phosphatidylglycerol acetal of cardiolipin plasmalogen, and the phosphatidylglycerol acetal of plasmenylglycerol have been identified in C. innocuum lipid extracts.
