Sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol is required for dimerization of the Rhodobacter sphaeroides RC-LH1 core complex

Elizabeth C. Martin, Adam G.M. Bowie, Taylor Wellfare Reid, Christopher Neil Hunter, Andrew Hitchcock, David J. K. Swainsbury

This study identifies sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG) as essential for dimerization of the RC-LH1 complex in Rhodobacter sphaeroides, but not for its monomeric function.
