Asymmetric <i>in vitro</i> synthesis of diastereomeric phosphatidylglycerols from phosphatidylcholine and glycerol by bacterial phospholipase D
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Using chiral-phase HPLC, we determined the stereochemical configuration of the phosphatidylglycerols (PtdGro) synthesized in vitro from 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PtdCho, R configuration) or 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (PtdEtn, R configuration) and glycerol by transphosphatidylation with bacterial phospholipase D (PLD). The results obtained with PLD preparations from three Streptomyces strains (S. septatus TH-2, S. halstedii K5, and S. halstedii subsp. scabies K6) and one Actinomadura species were compared with those obtained using cabbage and peanut PLD. The reaction was carried out at 30 degrees C in a biphasic system consisting of diethyl ether and acetate buffer. The resulting PtdGro were then converted into bis(3,5-dinitrophenylurethane) derivatives, which were separated on an (R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine polymer. In contrast to the cabbage and peanut PLD, which gave equimolar mixtures of the R,S and R,R diastereomers, as previously established, the bacterial PLD yielded diastereomixtures of 30-40% 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-1'-sn-glycerol (R,S configuration) and 60-70% 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-3'-sn-glycerol (R,R configuration). The highest disproportionation was found for the Streptomyces K6 species. The present study demonstrates that bacterial PLD-catalyzed transphosphatidylation proceeds to a considerable extent stereoselectively to produce PtdGro from PtdCho or PtdEtn and prochiral glycerol, indicating a preference for the sn-3' position of the glycerol molecule.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
