RESUMO
Cardiolipin (CL) synthetase of Lactobacillus plantarum 17-5 catalyzed the stoichiometric conversion of 2 mol of phosphatidylglycerol to 1 mol of CL. The enzyme activity was linear with time for 30 min at 37 C and with protein concentration between 20 and 200 mug of protein per ml. The enzyme was membrane associated, had a pH optimum of 5.1 in phosphate buffer, and was not stimulated by Mg2+, and the activity was not affected by the addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, cytidine diphosphate diglyceride, or cytidine triphosphate. The reaction was inhibited about 95% by Triton X-100 (0.5% final concentration) and by CL, the end product of the reaction. The activity of this enzyme was studied as a function of growth. The CL synthetase specific activity was highest during the early and midexponential growth phases, as was the cellular content of CL. The results demonstrate a correlation between enzyme-specific activity and lipid content of the cells.
