Phosphatidylethanolamine levels and regulation of phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The activity of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) N-methyltransferase in liver microsomes, measured using endogenous microsomal PE as a substrate, was elevated 2-fold in the choline-deficient state. However, methyltransferase activity assayed in the presence of a saturating concentration of phosphatidyl-N-mono-methylethanolamine or microsomal PE was unchanged by choline deficiency. Accompanying the increase in methyltransferase activity in liver homogenates and microsomes were increased PE concentrations and an increased PE to phosphatidylcholine ratio. The concentration of other phospholipids was unchanged. Immunoblot analysis of choline-deficient and choline-supplemented rat liver microsomes using a rabbit polyclonal anti-PE N-methyltransferase antibody revealed that the amount of enzyme protein was unaltered. The regulation of methyltransferase by PE levels was also investigated in cultured hepatocytes obtained from choline-deficient rat livers. Supplementation of deficient hepatocytes with 200 microM methionine resulted in a 50% reduction in cellular PE levels over a 12-h period. PE N-methyltransferase activity assayed with endogenous PE was also reduced by 50%, but phosphatidyl-N-monomethylethanolamine-dependent activity was unchanged. A 4-h supplementation with choline did not affect PE levels or methyltransferase activity. Either methionine or choline supplementation resulted in net synthesis of cellular phosphatidylcholine. Immunoblotting of membranes from methionine-supplemented hepatocytes revealed no change in enzyme protein, a further indication that enzyme mass was constitutive, and activity was regulated by the concentration of PE. 相似文献

Differential methylation patterns in molecular species of phosphatidylethanolamine derivatives in rat liver membranes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The appearance of individual molecular species of phospholipids in the complete sequence of the transmethylation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) was examined in rat liver microsomes incubated with S-adenosyl-L-[methyl-14C]methionine. Reverse-phase HPLC analysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidyl-N,N-dimethylethanolamine (dimethyl-PE), or phosphatidyl-N-monomethylethanolamine (monomethyl-PE) showed that radioactivity was present in the same six principal molecules; a first group is constituted by 16:0/22:6, 16:0/20:4 and 16:0/18:2 and a second one by the homologous molecules with 18:0 instead of 16:0 at the sn-1 position of glycerol. In PC, 16:0/22:6 (23% of total radioactivity) was preponderant, and 18:0/20:4 was the lowest. The ratios cpm in PC/nmol in PE were in the order: 16:0/22:6 greater than 16:0/18:2 greater than 16:0/20:4 followed by the corresponding 18:0 molecules. On the other hand, in intermediate phospholipids, incorporation of methyl groups was most marked in 18:0/20:4 (24-27% of total). 16:0/22:6 and 16:0/18:2 were low in comparison to their relative values in PC. The ratio (18:0/20:4)/(16:0/22:6) was 4.5-5.6-times higher in monomethyl-PE and dimethyl-PE than in PC. These differences were found consistently, regardless of incubation time of microsomes (2.5-60 min) and of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) concentration (3 or 100 microM). In liver membranes, it would therefore seem that there is a different selectivity in methyl group transfer, depending upon whether the first two steps or the third step of the reaction are considered. Side reactions, such as deacylation/reacylation, are unlikely to account for this difference, which could rather be related to the enzyme itself. 相似文献

The synthesis of phosphatidylcholine from phosphatidylethanolamine is carried out by chick liver microsomes (Gallus domesticus). Different concentrations of PE, NPE and NNPE were used as exogenous substrates. Saturation of the S-adenosylmethionine has been found for the three different reactions with or without exogenous substrate. Kinetic parameters have been determined for this enzyme system in chick liver microsomes. The three methyl reactions had a similar pH profile with an optimum at pH = 8. Divalent ions such as Ca2+ or Mg2+ did not stimulate the enzyme activity. The results suggest that the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine from phosphatidylethanolamine by chick liver microsomes exhibits a kinetic pattern with different aspects than that described for other animal or human preparations. 相似文献

Phosphatidylcholine is the major lipid of all cellular membranes. Phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis in microsomes involves two enzyme pathways, choline phosphotransferase and phosphatidyl-ethanolamine methyltransferase. The present study was designed to examine the effect of zinc deficiency on these two enzymes. Male, weanling Long-Evans rats were fed a biotin-enriched 20% egg white diet deficient in zinc for 15–45 d. The specific activity (pmol phosphatidylcholine formed/min/mg microsomal protein) of choline phosphotransferase, phsophatidylethanolamine methyltransferase, and phos-phatidyldimethylethanolamine methyltransferase was determined. The latter assay measures the third methylation of phosphatidyl-ethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine. Zinc deficiency resulted in a significant increase over controls in the specific activity of phospha-tidylethanolamine methyltransferase and phosphatidyldimethyl-ethanolamine methyltransferase in liver and spleen microsomes. A significant increase in the picomoles of phosphatidylcholine formed by the choline phosphotransferase pathway occurred in liver microsomes of zinc-deficient animals. In the brain microsomes a significant decrease in specific activity of phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine methyltransferase, and choline phosphotransferase occurred among zinc-deficient ani-mals. These data suggest that zinc deficiency alters the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine, the major lipid of cellular membranes. 相似文献

The phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) N-methyltransferase (MT) system is known to convert PE to phosphatidylcholine by three successive N-methylations. Phosphatidyl-N-monomethylethanolamine (PME) MT was purified 1,400-fold from mouse liver microsomes and separated from the PE-MT activity for the first time. This enzyme catalyzes N-methylations of PME and phosphatidyl-N,N-dimethylethanolamine, the intermediates of PE-MT system, but not PE, the initial substrate of the PE-MT system. In addition, a preparation with a different affinity to S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine catalyzing all the three methylations was obtained. These results suggest that at least two enzymes are involved in the PE-MT system. 相似文献

Development of mitochondrial and microsomal choline phosphotransferase in the fetal guinea pig lung was investigated. The activity in fetal mitochondria was more than twice of that in fetal microsomes. However, in adult lung, the enzyme was distributed mostly in microsomes. In fetal lung, both the mitochondrial and microsomal enzyme activity was greatest at approx. 81% of the total gestation period (55 days). The specific activity in the microsomal fraction then declined until term, but increased again in the 24-h newborn from 1.0 to 2.3 nmol/min per mg protein. The activity in the mitochondrial fraction declined after 61 days (2.8 nmol/min per mg) to a minimal level at term (0.6 nmol/min per mg). Although the enzyme activity decreased from day 55 (1.2 nmol/min per mg), the amount of phosphatidylcholine gradually increased between day 55 and term. 相似文献

The transverse distribution of enzyme proteins and phospholipids within microsomal membranes was studied by analyzing membrane composition after treatment with proteases and phospholipases. Upon trypsin treatment of closed microsomal vesicles, NADH- and NADPH-cytochrome c reductases as well as cytochrome b5 were solubilized or inactivated, while cytochrome P-450 was partially inactivated. When microsomes were exposed to a concentration of deoxycholate which makes them permeable to macromolecules but does not disrupt the membrane, the detergent alone was sufficient to release four enzymes: nucleoside diphosphatase, esterase, beta-glucuronidase, and a portion of the DT-diaphorase. Introduction of trypsin into the vesicle lumen inactivated glucose-6-phosphatase completely and cytochrome P-450 partially. The rest of this cytochrome, ATPase, AMPase, UDP-glucuronyltransferase, and the remaining 50% of DT-diaphorase activity were not affected by proteolysis from either side of the membrane. Phospholipase A treatment of intact microsomes in the presence of albumin hydrolyzed all of the phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, and 55% of the phosphatidylcholine. From this observation, it was concluded that these lipids are localized in the outer half of the bilayer of the microsomal membrane; Phosphatidylinositol, 45% of the phosphatidylcholine, and sphingomyelin are tentatively assigned to the inner half of this bilayer. It appears that the various enzyme proteins and phospholipids of the microsomal membrane display an asymmetric distribution in the transverse plane. 相似文献

In the various subcellular fractions of rat liver 45-75% of the total dolichol was esterified with a fatty acid. The esterification reaction was localized exclusively in the microsomes, and the transferase activity is 3-fold higher in the cation-insensitive smooth microsomes than in other microsomal subfractions. Although fatty acyl-CoAs tested served as substrates, palmitoyl-CoA was the most rapidly utilized. None of the phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine species tested could be utilized to esterify dolichol with a fatty acid, indicating the absence of transacylation. alpha-Saturated dolichols were esterified at a higher rate than their alpha-unsaturated counterparts. Albumin and low concentrations of Triton X-100 activated the esterification reaction, which was not dependent on mono- or divalent cations, ATP, or CoA. The sensitivity of the transferase activity to trypsin indicates localization of the enzyme(s) involved on the outer surface of microsomes (i.e. the cytoplasmic surface of the endoplasmic reticulum), as is also the case for enzymes of dolichol biosynthesis. Transferase activity was detected in all tissues examined but at a much lower level than in liver and testis. The patterns of fatty acids in dolichol esters of different organelles exhibited some specificity. Labeling in vivo indicated that esterification of dolichol may play a role in targeting this lipid from the endoplasmic reticulum to lysosomes. 相似文献

Using trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid (TNBS) as a probe we have observed that phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) formed by base-exchange is initially concentrated in the cytosolic leaflet of the membrane bilayer. At 2 min, the specific activity of the PE in this leaflet was 3-times that of the PE in the cisternal leaflet. After 30 min, the specific activities of the two pools of PE, determined with either phospholipase C or TNBS, were similar. Transbilayer movement of PE was slow at low temperature, prevented by EDTA and restored by the addition of calcium ions after EDTA treatment. Trypsin treatment of microsomes, under conditions in which the vesicles remained closed, inhibited the incorporation of ethanolamine into PE by 87%. The cytosolic location of the ethanolamine base-exchange enzyme is consistent with the initial concentration of newly synthesised PE at this site prior to its transmembrane movement to the cisternal leaflet. 相似文献

When 600 × g supernatants of 10% (w/v) rat lung homogenates were incubated with CDP[Me-14C]choline, both saturated and unsaturated species of phosphatidylcholine were formed from endogenous diacylglycerols. The percentage radioactivity in the disaturated species of total phosphatidylcholine increased with time from 12% after 5 min to 30% after 60 min incubation. In similar experiments with 20000 × g supernatants, the increase in the disaturated species of microsomal phosphatidylcholine was from 25 to 37% over the same time period. In incubations of isolated microsomes in buffer, the percent of 14C label in disaturated phosphatidylcholine remained constant at a level of 25%. To investigate a possible role of cytosolic factor(s) in the increase in the percentage of disaturated phosphatidylcholine with time, microsomes were prelabeled by incubation in buffer with CDP[Me-14C]choline to give a fixed ratio of radioactive saturated and unsaturated phosphatidylcholine species. When the reisolated microsomes were incubated in buffer, the distribution of radioactivity over saturated and unsaturated species remained constant. In contrast, incubation of prelabeled microsomes in the presence of cytosol caused an increase in the percent radioactivity in saturated phosphatidylcholines from a starting value of 18 to 30% after 60 min incubation, while leaving total phosphatidylcholine radioactivity unaffected. These results indicate a remodeling of phosphatidylcholine under the influence of a cytosolic factor(s). Evidence is presented that suggests that Ca2+-independent cytosolic phospholipase A2 activity as well as a microsomal ATP-independent CoA-mediated acyltransferase activity might contribute to this remodeling. The cytosol donates the necessary CoA for this acyl transfer as well as saturated acyl-CoA for the reacylation of lysophosphatidylcholine. 相似文献

Topographic Distribution of Enzymes Synthesizing Phosphatidylcholine and Phosphatidylethanolamine in Chicken Brain Microsomes 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Abstract: The localization of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic enzymes within the transverse plane of chicken brain microsomes was investigated by using proteases (trypsin and pronase) and neuraminidase. Treatment of intact microsomes with the proteases inactivated the phosphocholine transferase completely and the ethanolamine phosphotransferase only slightly. This latter enzyme was, however, completely inactivated when deoxycholate-treated microsomes were exposed to proteases. Treatment of intact microsomes with neuraminidase had no effect on both phosphotransferases, although 65% of the sialic acid of sialoglycoproteins and 37% of that of gangliosides were removed. With deoxycholate-disrupted microsomes nearly all sialic acid from the sialoglycoproteins and about 70% of that of gangliosides were released. In parallel, the phosphoethanolamine transferase was 90% inactivated. It is suggested that phosphocholine transferase is localized on the outer face of the microsomal vesicle, whereas the phosphoethanolamine transferase could be a sialoglycoprotein, possibly situated on the inner face of the vesicle, or perhaps a transmembrane protein. 相似文献

A remarkable and immediate decrease in GDP-mannose:retinyl phosphate mannosyltransferase activity was found on pre-incubation of rat liver postnuclear membranes with phospholipase A2 or phospholipase C. Under the same conditions of pre-incubation (1 min at 37 degrees C) trypsin did not affect the enzyme activity, whereas pre-incubation for 30 min with trypsin and Pronase abolished enzyme activity. The lipid extract of untreated rat liver membranes partially restored enzyme activity after phospholipase treatment. Sphingomyelin was as active as the endogenous lipids. Other phospholipids were less active in the following order: phosphatidylcholine greater than phosphatidylethanolamine greater than phosphatidylinositol = phosphatidylserine. Dolichyl phosphate mannose synthesis was inhibited less (33%) by phospholipase C than was Ret-P-Man synthesis (98.5%) under identical conditions of incubation, which included 0.025% Triton. However, retinyl phosphate mannose synthesis by purified endoplasmic reticulum was found to be resistant to phospholipase C. Mixing experiments failed to demonstrate an inhibitory effect of the phospholipase-treated postnuclear membrane fraction on the synthetic activity of the endoplasmic reticulum, thus excluding the release of an inhibitory factor from the postnuclear membranes. 相似文献

The role of phospholipids in the glucose-6-phosphatase system, including glucose-6-P phosphohydrolase and glucose-6-P translocase, was studied in rat liver microsomes by using phospholipases C and detergents. In the time course experiments on detergent exposure, the maximal activation of glucose-6-P phosphohydrolase varied according to the nature of the detergent used. On treatment of microsomes with phospholipase C of C. perfringens, the activity of glucose-6-P phosphohydrolase without detergent (i.e. without rupture of translocase activity) was gradually decreased with the progressive hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine on the microsomal membrane, and was restored by incubation of these microsomes with egg yolk phospholipids. The extent of decrease in this phosphohydrolase activity in the detergent-exposed microsomes (with rupture of translocase activity) also varied depending on the detergent used (Triton X-114 or taurocholate). When 66% of the phosphatidylinositol on the membrane was hydrolyzed by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C of B. thuringiensis, the inhibition of glucose-6-P phosphohydrolase activity without detergent was very small. Although the inhibition of enzyme activity with detergent was apparently greater than that without detergent, the enzyme activity was stimulated by the breakdown of phosphatidylinositol when the enzyme activity was measured at lower concentration (0.5 mM) of substrate, glucose-6-P. The latency of mannose-6-P phosphohydrolase, a plausible index of microsomal integrity, remained above 70% after the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, or phosphatidylinositol. The results show that the glucose-6-phosphatase system requires microsomal phospholipids for its integrity, suggesting that there exists a close relation between phosphatidylinositol and glucose-6-P translocase. 相似文献

Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) N-methyltransferase catalyzes the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine by the stepwise transfer of methyl groups from S-adenosylmethionine to the amino head group of PE. PE N-methyltransferase was solubilized from a microsomal membrane fraction of rat liver using the nonionic detergent Triton X-100 and purified to apparent homogeneity. Specific activities of PE N-methyltransferase with PE, phosphatidyl-N-monomethylethanolamine (PMME), and phosphatidyl-N,N-dimethylethanolamine (PDME) as substrates were 0.63, 8.59, and 3.75 mumol/min/mg protein, respectively. The purified enzyme was composed of a single subunit with a molecular mass of 18.3 kDa as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Methylation activities dependent on the presence of PE, PMME, and PDME and the 18.3-kDa protein co-eluted when purified PE N-methyltransferase was subjected to gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300 in the presence of 0.1% Triton X-100. All three methylation activities eluted with a Stokes radius 2.1 A greater than that determined for pure Triton micelles (molecular mass difference of 27.4 kDa). Two-dimensional analysis of PE N-methyltransferase employing nonequilibrium pH gradient gel electrophoresis and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicates that the enzyme is composed of a single isoform. Analysis of enzyme activity using PE, PMME, and PDME at various Triton X-100 concentrations indicated the enzyme follows the "surface dilution" model proposed for other enzymes that act at the surface of mixed micelle substrates. Initial velocity data for all three lipid substrates (at fixed concentrations of Triton X-100) were highly cooperative in nature. Hill numbers for PMME and PDME ranged from 3 at 0.5 mM Triton to 6 at 2.0 mM Triton. All three methylation activities had a pH optimum of 10. These results provide evidence that a single membrane-bound enzyme catalyzes all three methylation steps for the conversion of PE to phosphatidylcholine. 相似文献

1. Sonication of bovine liver microsomes completely solubilized the membrane-bound lysophospholipase II (EC 3.1.1.5). Co-chromatography with purified 125I-labelled lysophospholipase indicated that the enzyme was solubilized from microsomes in a lipid-free state. 2. In the presence of residual microsomal membranes, the solubilized lysophospholipase could only be partly degraded by trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4). Therefore, trypsin could not be used to study the transmembrane disposition of lysophospholipase in intact microsomes. 3. Chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1) destroyed the solubilized lysophospholipase activity, even in the presence of residual microsomal membranes. 4. Lysophospholipase in intact microsomal vesicles was resistant to chymotrypsin digestion. 5. When microsomal vesicles were made leaky with lysophosphatidylcholine, chymotrypsin destroyed more than 95% of the lysophospholipase activity. 6. It is concluded from these experiments that at least the active center of lysophospholipase is located at the luminal side of the bovine liver microsomal membrane. 相似文献

The ability of liver lipid-exchange proteins to introduce foreign phospholipids into microsomes was used in a study of the lipid dependence of glucose-6-phosphatase. Supplementation of intact rat liver and hepatoma microsomes with exogeneous aminophospholipids prevents the decline of glucose-6-phosphatase activity during incubation, whereas the introduction of exogeneous phosphatidylcholine has no protective effect. On the contrary with deoxycholate-disrupted hepatoma microsomes, introduction of additional phosphatidylcholine causes activation while phosphatidylethanolamine has only little effect. The results are explained by assuming that the transport unit and the catalytic moiety of the glucose-6-phosphatase system have different lipid requirements, the activity of the former protein depending mainly on phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine and that of the catalytic protein depending on phosphatidylcholine. In deoxycholate-disrupted liver microsomes (in which both the glucose-6-phosphatase activity and the phosphatidylcholine content are much higher than in hepatoma microsomes) incubation with phosphatidylcholine and lipid-exchange proteins alters neither the phospholipid composition nor the enzyme activity. THis suggests that the diminished activity of glucose-6-phosphatase in hepatomas may be partly due to a low level of phosphatidylcholine. 相似文献

A new model system for the study of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis is presented. Young rats were fed a diet that contained 5% cholesterol and 2% cholate. After 6 days there was a 2-fold increase in the concentration of plasma phospholipid (243 mg/dl compared to 132 mg/dl for control animals) and a 3-fold increase in the concentration of plasma phosphatidylcholine. The rate of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis was measured after injection of [Me-3H]choline into the portal veins. The incorporation of tritium into choline, phosphocholine and betaine by liver was similar for experimental and control animals, whereas there was a 3-fold increased incorporation into phosphatidylcholine of the cholesterol/cholate-fed rats. The activities of the enzymes of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis in cytosol and microsomes were assayed. The only change detected was in the cytosolic and microsomal activities of CTP: phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase which were increased more than 2-fold in specific activity. When total cytidylyltransferase activity per liver was determined, a dramatic translocation of the enzyme to microsomes was observed. The control livers had 24% of the cytidylyltransferase activity associated with microsomes, whereas this value was 61% in the livers from cholesterol/cholate-fed rats. When the cytosolic cytidylyltransferase was assayed in the presence of phospholipid, the enzyme was stimulated several-fold and the difference in specific activity between control and cholesterol/cholate-fed rats was abolished. The increased activity in cytosol appears to be the result of a 2-fold increase in the amount of phospholipid in the cytosol from cholesterol/cholate-fed rats. The data strongly support the hypothesis that the special diet stimulates phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis by causing a translocation of the cytidylyltransferase from cytosol to microsomes where it is activated. 相似文献

Using bilateral carotid artery occlusion in adult gerbils we examined the effects of ischemia and ischemia/reperfusion on cerebral phospholipid content and Na+,K+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) activity. In contrast to the large changes in phospholipid content and membrane-bound enzyme activity that have been observed in liver and heart tissues, we observed relatively small changes in the cerebral content of total phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylserine (PS), and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) following ischemic intervals of up to 240 min. Following 15 min of ischemia the cerebral content of sphingomyelin (SM) was decreased to less than 50% of control values but returned to near-normal levels with longer ischemic periods. Significant decreases in the cerebral content of phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidic acid (PA) were observed following shorter intervals of ischemia (15-45 min). Na+,K+-ATPase activity of cerebral homogenates prepared from the brains of gerbils subjected to 30-240 min of ischemia was decreased but significantly different from control activity only after 30 min of ischemia (-29%, p less than or equal to 0.05). With the exception of PS, reperfusion for 60 min following 60 min of ischemia resulted in marked increases in cerebral phospholipid content with PC, SM, PI, and PA levels exceeding and PE levels equal to preischemic values. Longer periods of reperfusion (180 min) resulted in decreases in cerebral phospholipid content toward (PC, SM, PI, and PA) or below (PE) preischemic levels. In contrast, the cerebral content of PS significantly decreased during reperfusion (-51% at 60 min, p less than or equal to 0.05) and remained below preischemic values even after 180 min of reperfusion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Partial purification and characterization of membrane-bound and cytosolic phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipases C from murine thymocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Membrane-bound and cytosolic phosphatidylinositol (PI)-specific phospholipases C in murine thymocytes have been partially purified and characterized. The membrane-bound enzyme was extracted from microsomes with sodium cholate and purified by sequential column chromatographies on Sephadex G-100, heparin-Sepharose CL-6B, and Sephadex G-100. The cytosolic enzyme was purified from the cytosol by sequential column chromatographies on Sephadex G-100 and FPLC-Mono S. Specific activities of the membrane-bound enzyme and the cytosolic enzyme increased more than 1,800- and 1,400-fold, respectively, compared with those of microsomes and the cytosol. The molecular weights of the both enzymes were estimated to be about 70,000 by gel filtration. These purified enzymes also hydrolyzed phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). At neutral pH and low Ca2+ concentrations, the membrane-bound enzyme hydrolyzed PIP2 in preference to PI and showed higher activity than the cytosolic enzyme. These activities were also affected differently by various lipids. For PIP2 hydrolysis, all lipids investigated except lysophosphatidylcholine enhanced the activity of the membrane-bound enzyme, while phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylserine (PS) did not significantly affect the activity of the cytosolic enzyme. PC, PE, and PS inhibited the activities of the membrane-bound and cytosolic enzymes for PI hydrolysis. The physiological implications of these results are discussed. 相似文献

A phospholipid requirement for dolichol pyrophosphate N-acetylglucosamine synthesis in phospholipase A2-treated rat lung microsomes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The role of phospholipids in the activity of UDP-Glc-NAc:dolichol phosphate GlcNAc-1-phosphate transferase of rat lung microsomes has been investigated. Treatment of microsomes with phospholipase A2 in the presence of delipidated bovine serum albumin resulted in a time-dependent loss of 65 to 75% of the enzyme activity and approximately 30% of the phospholipids. Addition of phosphatidylglycerol to the enzyme assay system containing phospholipase A2-treated microsomes restored activity to that obtained with native microsomes and phosphatidylglycerol. Addition of phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylcholine, or cardiolipin resulted in only partial restoration of activity, whereas phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine were without effect. Triton X-100 was not by itself capable of restoring activity, but was required for the phospholipid effect. Measurements of the phospholipase A2 hydrolysis products released from the microsomes during digestion, and other control experiments of adding fatty acids and lysophospholipids to the enzyme assay system, indicated that the loss of UDP-GlcNAc:dolichol phosphate GlcNAc-1-phosphate transferase activity was not due to product inhibition. 相似文献
