Abstract
MPIase is a glycolipid involved in protein insertion into and preprotein translocation across the cytoplasmic membranes of E. coli. MPIase is upregulated in the cold conditions to overcome the cold-sensitive protein export. CdsA, a CDP-diacylglycerol synthase, catalyzes the first reaction in MPIase biosynthesis. An open reading frame for a peptide of 50 amino acids is encoded immediately after ispU, a neighboring upstream gene of cdsA, and overlaps cdsA to a large extent. Mutational analysis revealed that the expression of this peptide is essential for upregulation of MPIase in the cold. Consistently, expression of this peptide in trans resulted in cold upregulation of MPIase. We therefore named this peptide MucA after its function (MPIase upregulation in the cold). When the partially purified MucA was added to the reaction of the intermediate in MPIase biosynthesis, a significant increase in the product formation was observed, supporting the function of MucA. The possible role of MucA in MPIase biosynthesis is discussed.

Abstract
The process of protein transport across membranes involves a variety of factors and has been extensively investigated. Traditionally, proteinaceous translocons and chaperones have been recognized as crucial factors in this process. However, recent studies have highlighted the significant roles played by lipids and a glycolipid present in biological membranes in membrane protein transport. Membrane lipids can influence transport efficiency by altering the physicochemical properties of membranes. Notably, our studies have revealed that diacylglycerol (DAG) attenuates mobility in the membrane core region, leading to a dramatic suppression of membrane protein integration. Conversely, a glycolipid in Escherichia coli inner membranes, named membrane protein integrase (MPIase), enhances integration not only through the alteration of membrane properties but also via direct interactions with membrane proteins. This review explores the mechanisms of membrane protein integration mediated by membrane lipids, specifically DAG, and MPIase. Our results, along with the employed physicochemical analysis methods such as fluorescence measurements, nuclear magnetic resonance, surface plasmon resonance, and docking simulation, are presented to elucidate these mechanisms.

Abstract
Membrane protein integrase (MPIase), an endogenous glycolipid in Escherichia coli (E. coli) membranes, is essential for membrane protein insertion in E. coli. We have examined Sec-independent membrane protein insertion mechanisms facilitated by MPIase using physicochemical analytical techniques, namely solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, fluorescence measurements, and surface plasmon resonance. In this review, we outline the physicochemical characteristics of membranes that may affect membrane insertion of proteins. Subsequently, we introduce our results verifying the effects of membrane lipids on insertion and estimate the impact of MPIase. Although MPIase is a minor component of E. coli membranes, it regulates insertion by altering the physicochemical properties of the membrane. In addition, MPIase promotes insertion by interacting with substrate proteins. We propose comprehensive mechanisms for the membrane insertion of proteins involving MPIase, which provide a physicochemical basis for understanding the roles of glycolipids in protein translocation.

Abstract
Biological membranes consist of integral and peripheral protein-associated lipid bilayers. Although constituent lipids vary among cells, membrane lipids are mainly classified as phospholipids, glycolipids, and sterols. Phospholipids are further divided into glycerophospholipids and sphingophospholipids, whereas glycolipids are further classified as glyceroglycolipids and sphingoglycolipids. Both glycerophospholipids and glyceroglycolipids contain diacylglycerol as the common backbone, but their head groups differ. Most glycerolipids have polar head groups containing phosphate esters or sugar moieties. However, trace components termed glycero-glycophospholipids, each possessing both a phosphate ester and a sugar moiety, exist in membranes. Recently, the unique biological activities of glycero-glycophospholipids have attracted considerable attention. In this review, we describe the structure, distribution, function, biosynthesis, and chemical synthetic approaches of representative glycero-glycophospholipids-phosphatidylglucoside (PtdGlc) and enterobacterial common antigen (ECA). In addition, we introduce our recent studies on the rare glycero-glyco"pyrophospho"lipid, membrane protein integrase (MPIase), which is involved in protein translocation across biomembranes.

Abstract
The complex double-membrane organization of the envelope in Gram-negative bacteria places unique biosynthetic and topological constraints that can affect translocation of lipids and proteins synthesized on cytoplasm facing leaflet of cytoplasmic (inner) membrane (IM), across IM and between IM and outer membrane (OM). Uniformly oriented inside-out (ISO) vesicles became functional requisite for many biochemical reconstitution functional assays, vectorial proteomics, and vectorial lipidomics. Due to these demands, it is necessary to develop simple and reliable approaches for preparation of uniformly oriented IM membrane vesicles and validation of their sidedness. The uniformly ISO oriented membrane vesicles which have the cytoplasmic face of the membrane on the outside and the periplasmic side facing the sealed lumen can be obtained following intact cell disruption by a single passage through a French pressure cell (French press) at desired total pressure. Although high-pressure lysis leads to the formation of mostly inverted membrane vesicles (designated and abbreviated usually as ISO vesicles, everted or inverted membrane vesicles (IMVs)), inconclusive results are quite common. This uncertainty is due mainly by applying a different pressures, using either intact cells or spheroplasts and presence or absence of sucrose during rupture procedure. Many E. coli envelope fractionation techniques result in heterogeneity among isolated IM membrane vesicles. In part, this is due to difficulties in simple validation of sidedness of oriented membrane preparations of unknown sidedness. The sidedness of various preparations of membrane vesicles can be inferred from the orientation of residing uniformly oriented transmembrane protein. We outline the method in which the orientation of membrane vesicles can be verified by mapping of uniform or mixed topologies of essential protein E. coli protein leader peptidase (LepB) by advanced SCAM™. Although the protocol discussed in this chapter has been developed using Escherichia coli and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, it can be directly adapted to other Gram-negative bacteria including pathogens.

Abstract
Protein translocases, such as the bacterial SecY complex, the Sec61 complex of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the mitochondrial translocases, facilitate the transport of proteins across membranes. In addition, they catalyze the insertion of integral membrane proteins into the lipid bilayer. Several membrane insertases cooperate with these translocases, thereby promoting the topogenesis, folding and assembly of membrane proteins. Oxa1 and BamA family members serve as core components in the two major classes of membrane insertases. They facilitate the integration of proteins with α-helical transmembrane domains and of β-barrel proteins into lipid bilayers, respectively. Members of the Oxa1 family were initially found in the internal membranes of bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. Recent studies, however, also identified several Oxa1-type insertases in the ER, where they serve as catalytically active core subunits in the ER membrane protein complex (EMC), the guided entry of tail-anchored (GET) and the GET- and EMC-like (GEL) complex. The outer membrane of bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts contain β-barrel proteins, which are inserted by members of the BamA family. In this Cell Science at a Glance article and the accompanying poster, we provide an overview of these different types of membrane insertases and discuss their function.

Abstract
The Gram-negative outer membrane (OM) is an asymmetric bilayer with phospholipids in its inner leaflet and mainly lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in its outer leaflet and is largely impermeable to many antibiotics. In Enterobacterales (e.g., Escherichia, Salmonella, Klebsiella, and Yersinia), the outer leaflet of the OM also contains phosphoglyceride-linked enterobacterial common antigen (ECAPG). This molecule consists of the conserved ECA carbohydrate linked to diacylglycerol-phosphate (DAG-P) through a phosphodiester bond. ECAPG contributes to the OM permeability barrier and modeling suggests that it may alter the packing of LPS molecules in the OM. Here, we investigate, in Escherichia coli K-12, the reaction synthesizing ECAPG from ECA precursor linked to an isoprenoid carrier to identify the lipid donor that provides the DAG-P moiety to ECAPG. Through overexpression of phospholipid biosynthesis genes, we observed alterations expected to increase levels of phosphatidylglycerol (PG) increased the synthesis of ECAPG, whereas alterations expected to decrease levels of PG decreased the synthesis of ECAPG. We discovered depletion of PG levels in strains that could synthesize ECAPG, but not other forms of ECA, causes additional growth defects, likely due to the buildup of ECA precursor on the isoprenoid carrier inhibiting peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Our results demonstrate ECAPG can be synthesized in the absence of the other major phospholipids (phosphatidylethanolamine and cardiolipin). Overall, these results conclusively demonstrate PG is the lipid donor for the synthesis of ECAPG and provide a key insight into the reaction producing ECAPG. In addition, these results provide an interesting parallel to lipoprotein acylation, which also uses PG as its DAG donor. IMPORTANCE The Gram-negative outer membrane is a permeability barrier preventing cellular entry of antibiotics. However, outer membrane biogenesis pathways are targets for small molecule development. Here, we investigate the synthesis of a form of enterobacterial common antigen (ECA), ECAPG, found in the outer membrane of Enterobacterales (e.g., Escherichia, Salmonella, and Klebsiella). ECAPG consists of the conserved ECA carbohydrate unit linked to diacylglycerol-phosphate-ECA is a phospholipid headgroup. The details of the reaction forming this molecule from polymerized ECA precursor are unknown. We determined the lipid donor providing the phospholipid moiety is phosphatidylglycerol. Understanding the synthesis of outer membrane constituents such as ECAPG provides the opportunity for development of molecules to increase outer membrane permeability, expanding the antibiotics available to treat Gram-negative infections.

Abstract
Protein integration into biomembranes is an essential biological phenomenon common to all organisms. While various factors involved in protein integration, such as SRP, SecYEG and YidC, are proteinaceous, we identified a glycolipid named MPIase (Membrane Protein Integrase), which is present in the cytoplasmic membrane of E. coli. In vitro experiments using inverted membrane vesicles prepared from MPIase-depleted strains, and liposomes containing MPIase showed that MPIase is required for insertion of a subset of membrane proteins, which has been thought to be SecYEG-independent and YidC-dependent. Also, SecYEG-dependent substrate membrane proteins require MPIase in addition. Furthermore, MPIase is also essential for insertion of proteins with multiple negative charges, which requires both YidC and the proton motive force (PMF). MPIase directly interacts with SecYEG and YidC on the membrane. MPIase not only cooperates with these factors but also has a molecular chaperone-like function specific to the substrate membrane proteins through direct interaction with the glycan chain. Thus, MPIase catalyzes membrane insertion by accepting nascent membrane proteins on the membrane through its chaperone-like function, i.e., direct interaction with the substrate proteins, and then MPIase functionally interacts with SecYEG and YidC for substrate delivery, and acts with PMF to facilitate and complete membrane insertion when necessary. In this review, we will outline the mechanisms underlying membrane insertion catalyzed by MPIase, which cooperates with proteinaceous factors and PMF.

Abstract
YidC is a membrane protein that facilitates the insertion of newly synthesized proteins into lipid membranes. Through YidC, proteins are inserted into the lipid bilayer via the SecYEG-dependent complex. Additionally, YidC functions as a chaperone in protein folding processes. Several studies have provided evidence of its independent insertion mechanism. However, the mechanistic details of the YidC SecY-independent protein insertion mechanism remain elusive at the molecular level. This study elucidates the insertion mechanism of YidC at an atomic level through a combination of equilibrium and non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Different docking models of YidC-Pf3 in the lipid bilayer were built in this study to better understand the insertion mechanism. To conduct a complete investigation of the conformational difference between the two docking models developed, we used classical molecular dynamics simulations supplemented with a non-equilibrium technique. Our findings indicate that the YidC transmembrane (TM) groove is essential for this high-affinity interaction and that the hydrophilic nature of the YidC groove plays an important role in protein transport across the cytoplasmic membrane bilayer to the periplasmic side. At different stages of the insertion process, conformational changes in YidC’s TM domain and membrane core have a mechanistic effect on the Pf3 coat protein. Furthermore, during the insertion phase, the hydration and dehydration of the YidC’s hydrophilic groove are critical. These results demonstrate that Pf3 coat protein interactions with the membrane and YidC vary in different conformational states during the insertion process. Finally, this extensive study directly confirms that YidC functions as an independent insertase.

Abstract
Non-proteinaceous components in membranes regulate membrane protein insertion cooperatively with proteinaceous translocons. An endogenous glycolipid in the Escherichia coli membrane called membrane protein integrase (MPIase) is one such component. Here, we focused on the Sec translocon-independent pathway and examined the mechanisms of MPIase-facilitated protein insertion using physicochemical techniques. We determined the membrane insertion efficiency of a small hydrophobic protein using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, which showed good agreement with that determined by the insertion assay using an in vitro translation system. The observed insertion efficiency was strongly correlated with membrane physicochemical properties measured using fluorescence techniques. Diacylglycerol, a trace component of E. coli membrane, reduced the acyl chain mobility in the core region and inhibited the insertion, whereas MPIase restored them. We observed the electrostatic intermolecular interactions between MPIase and the side chain of basic amino acids in the protein, suggesting that the negatively charged pyrophosphate of MPIase attracts the positively charged residues of a protein near the membrane surface, which triggers the insertion. Thus, this study demonstrated the ingenious approach of MPIase to support membrane insertion of proteins by using its unique molecular structure in various ways.

Abstract
Inducing newly synthesized proteins to appropriate locations is an indispensable biological function in every organism. Integration of proteins into biomembranes in Escherichia coli is mediated by proteinaceous factors, such as Sec translocons and an insertase YidC. Additionally, a glycolipid named MPIase (membrane protein integrase), composed of a long sugar chain and pyrophospholipid, was proven essential for membrane protein integration. We reported that a synthesized minimal unit of MPIase possessing only one trisaccharide, mini-MPIase-3, involves an essential structure for the integration activity. Here, to elucidate integration mechanisms using MPIase, we analyzed intermolecular interactions of MPIase or its synthetic analogs with a model substrate, the Pf3 coat protein, using physicochemical methods. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analyses revealed the importance of a pyrophosphate for affinity to the Pf3 coat protein. Compared with mini-MPIase-3, natural MPIase showed faster association and dissociation due to its long sugar chain despite the slight difference in affinity. To focus on more detailed MPIase substructures, we performed docking simulations and saturation transfer difference-nuclear magnetic resonance. These experiments yielded that the 6-O-acetyl group on glucosamine and the phosphate of MPIase play important roles leading to interactions with the Pf3 coat protein. The high affinity of MPIase to the hydrophobic region and the basic amino acid residues of the protein was suggested by docking simulations and proven experimentally by SPR using protein mutants devoid of target regions. These results demonstrated the direct interactions of MPIase with a substrate protein and revealed detailed mechanisms of membrane protein integration.
