Yolk Phosphatidylcholine Bilayers
The activity of (Ca -Mg )ATPase reconstituted into egg yolk phos phatidylcholine liposomes is reduced when the lipid has been oxidized before the reconstitution procedure. It is suggested that the reversible decrease in activity is caused by a decrease of the lipid bilayer thickness due to the shortening of lipid acyl chains during autoperoxidation; the irreversible decrease in the activity is...
متن کاملStructural analysis of phosphatidylcholine
Pure preparations of phosphatidylcholine were isolated from spinach leaf chloroplasts, spinach leaf microsomes, and cauliflower inflorescence. The isolated phosphatidylcholine was treated with snake venom phospholipase A, and the fatty acid distribution and composition of the fatty acid methyl esters prepared from the lysophosphatidylcholine and the freed fatty acid were determined by gas-liqui...
متن کاملPhosphatidylcholine and Related Lipids
Phosphatidylcholine (once given the trivial name ‘lecithin’) is usually the most abundant phospholipid in animal and plants, often amounting to almost 50% of the total, and as such it is obviously a key building block of membrane bilayers. In particular, it makes up a very high proportion of the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane. Phosphatidylcholine is also the principal phospholipid circula...
متن کاملPhosphatidylcholine synthesis in yeast.
The two pathways for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine, by way of phosphocholine and by methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine, in wild-type yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and in the yeast mutant GL7 have been compared. The mutant requires for growth a sterol, unsaturated fatty acids, and methionine. The uptake of labeled choline or labeled methionine and their conversion to phosphatid...
