Cues from the Membrane: Bacterial Glycerophospholipids.

In this issue of the Journal of Bacteriology , V. W. Rowlett et al. unveil new Escherichia coli circuitry linking membrane glycerophospholipid (GPL) homeostasis to bacterial stress response and adaptation mechanisms (J Bacteriol 199:e00849-16, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1128/JB.00849-16). Glycerophospholipids comprise critical components of the dual-membrane envelope of Gram-negative bacteria and participate in many processes. The new evidence suggests that, in some instances, distinct E. coli GPL molecules function for distinct biochemistry and bacteria sense perturbations in membrane GPL concentrations to coordinate survival strategies. Understanding GPL sensing and remodeling mechanisms will be important moving forward, given the breadth of function for these molecules in bacteriology.
