We have developed a procedure for the reconstitution of Escherichia coli diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) into phospholipid bilayers containing diacylglycerol substrate. When DGK is reconstituted into a series of phosphatidylcholines containing monounsaturated fatty acyl chains, activity against dihexanoylglycerol (DHG) as a substrate was found to be markedly dependent on the fatty acyl chain length with the highest activity in dioleoylphosphatidylcholine [di(C18:1)PC] and a lower activity in bilayers with shorter or longer fatty acyl chains. Low activities in the short chain phospholipid dimyristoleoylphosphatidylcholine [di(C14:1)PC] followed from an increase in the K(m) value for DHG and ATP, with no effect on v(max). In contrast, in the long chain lipid dierucoylphosphatidylcholine [di(C24:1)PC], the low activity followed from a decrease in v(max) with no effect on K(m). In mixtures of two phosphatidylcholines with different chain lengths, the activity corresponded to that expected for the average chain length of the mixture. Cholesterol increased the activity in di(C14:1)PC but slightly decreased it in di(C18:1)PC or di(C24:1)PC, effects that could follow from changes in bilayer thickness caused by cholesterol.
