ATPase in lipid body membranes of castor bean endosperm.
Lipid body membranes purified from castor seed endosperm of dry seeds and 4 d old seedlings were found to have an ATPase activity associated with them. This was confirmed by equilibrium density centrifugation of the membranes using acid lipase as a marker enzyme. The specific activity ranged from 45 to 200 nanomoles per milligram protein per minute. The pH optimum was 9.0 but at pH 7.5 nearly 4...
متن کاملLipid composition of organelles from germinating castor bean endosperm.
Glyoxysome, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and proplastid fractions were isolated from endosperm of castor beans (Ricinus communis) germinated for 5 days at 30 C. Samples from sucrose density gradients were diluted with 0.15 m KCI and the membranes pelleted. Lipid extracts of these membranes were analyzed for phosphoglyceride, acyl lipid, and sterol content. The endoplasmic reticulum cont...
متن کاملPhosphatidylethanolamine synthesis in castor bean endosperm.
Phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis by CDP-ethanolamine:1,2-diacylglycerol ethanolaminephosphotransferase (EC 2.7.8.1) from the endoplasmic reticulum of castor bean (Ricinus communis L. var. Hale) endosperm was characterized. The Michaelis-Menten constant of the enzyme for CDP-ethanolamine was approximately 8.0 micromolar. The pH optimum was 6.5 and a divalent cation was an absolute requirement ...
متن کاملPhosphatidylcholine synthesis in castor bean endosperm.
Three pathways for phosphatidylcholine synthesis were assayed in castor bean (Ricinus communis var. Hale) endosperm. Phosphatidylethanolamine: S-adenosylmethionine methyl transferase occurred predominantly in the endoplasmic reticulum fraction, but some activity appeared in the mitochondria. Phosphorylcholine glyceride transferase occurred exclusively in the endoplasmic reticulum. The phosphory...
متن کاملPhosphatidylserine synthesis in castor bean endosperm.
Phosphatidylserine synthesis by the endoplasmic reticulum fraction isolated from castor bean (Ricinus communis var. Hale) endosperm was assayed by measuring the incorporation of (14)C-l-serine into chloroform-soluble material. Both phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine were identified as products. The incorporation required calcium ions and showed an optimum pH of 7.8 in 2 mm CaCl(2)....
