Metabolic relationship between arachidonate activation and its transfer to lysophospholipids by brain microsomes

Evidence is presented to indicate a metabolic relationship between arachidonic acid activation and its transfer to lysophospholipds by brain microsomes. Thus, in the presence of 1-acylglycerophosphocholines or 1-acyl-glycerophosphoinositols, the activation of labeled arachidonate to its acyl-CoA was enhanced, and the acyl-CoA formed was, in turn, transferred to the lysophospholipids to form the respective diacyl-glycerophospholipids. The coupling effect seems to pertain mainly to the lysophospholipids which are good substrates of the acyltransferase. Other lyso-compounds were either not effective or inhibitory to the arachidonate activation process. The activation-transfer activity mediated by the fatty acid ligase and acyltransferase could be dissociated by Triton X-100, which apparently stimulated the acyl-CoA ligase activity but inhibited the acyltransferase. These results suggest that fatty acid ligase and acyltransferase are located in close proximity within the membrane domain. The existence of a close metabolic relationship between these two enzymic reactions is important for maintaining a dynamic equilibrium between the free fatty acids and the membrane phospholipids. The mechanism is also useful in regulating the cellular acyl-CoA and lysophospholipid metabolism, because both compounds have membrane perturbing properties when present in excessive quantity.

湖北菱科的数量分类研究[Ⅱ]

引言菱科(Trapaceae)植物为一年生水生浮叶草本,常见于湖泊,池塘及沟渠中。全世界约有70余种,主要分布于旧大陆的温带、亚热带地区,亦见于热带地区,如印度,东南亚及非洲,后来被引进美洲大陆和澳大利亚。中国有5至10种及其栽培种。菱科为一单属科。自林奈时期以来,菱科的分类学研究一直是一个富有探索性的问     

Increased acidic phospholipids in rat brain membranes after chronic ethanol administration

Two types of plasma membranes isolated from rat brain cortex were used to study the membrane-perturbing properties of ethanol. Rats administered ethanol in the form of a liquid diet showed an increase in levels of phosphatidylserines, phosphatidylinositols and phosphatidic acids as compared to controls. The results present evidence that chronic ethanol treatment results in an increase in the acidic phospholipids in brain membranes. This type of membrane modification may have important implications for the function of membrane transport enzymes such as (Na+, K+)-ATPase, which also increases in activity upon chronic ethanol administration.     

An electrogenic proton pump associated with the Golgi apparatus of mouse liver driven by NADH and ATP

Golgi-apparatus membranes, isolated from mouse liver, pump protons inwards, when supplied with NADH or ATP. The acidification of Golgi-apparatus cisternae and vesicles was detected with neutral red, a permeant dye, as a difference in absorbance at 550 nm minus that at 600 nm. The maximum rates detected with NADH and ATP were between 0.0006-0.0009 and 0.0030-0.0050 delta OD units/mg of protein/min, respectively, at pH 7.5. The outside buffer used was a bovine serum albumin suspension. The acidification of Golgi apparatus was inhibited from 45 to 100% by ionophores and from 22 to 100% by uncouplers. The results implicate both ATP and a redox system coupled to NADH oxidation in the acidification of Golgi-apparatus membranes.
