Type A and type B monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthases are spatially and functionally separated in the plastids of higher plants

Mono- and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG and DGDG, respectively) constitute the bulk of membrane lipids in plant chloroplasts. The final step in MGDG biosynthesis occurs in the plastid envelope and is catalyzed by MGDG synthase. In Arabidopsis, the three MGDG synthases are classified into type A (...
