  2. Different diglycosyllipid synthases (DGD1, DGD2, and Chloroflexus glucosyltransferase) were introduced into the dgd1-1 mutant of Arabidopsis in fusion with N-terminal extensions (NDGD1 and NDGD2) targeting to the outer envelope.NDGD1 binds to phosphatidic acid (PA) in membranes and mediates PA-dependent membrane fusion in vitro.

  3. At elevated temperatures MC540 is extruded from the dgd1 membrane bilayer around 35 degrees C, whereas in WT, it remains lipid-bound up to 45 degrees C and dgd1 and WT membranes become leaky around 35 and 45 degrees C, respectively.
