Phosphatidylethanolamine 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 کاملPhosphatidylethanolamine synthesis by castor bean endosperm : a base exchange reaction.
A base exchange reaction for synthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine by the endoplasmic reticulum of castor bean (Ricinus comminus L. var Hale) endosperm has been examined. The calculated Michaelis-Menten constant of the enzyme for ethanolamine was 5 micromolar and the optimal pH was 7.8 in the presence of 2 millimolar CaCl(2). l-Serine, N-methylethanolamine and N,N-dimethylethanolamine all reduc...
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)....
متن کاملPhosphatidylinositol synthesis in castor bean endosperm: cytidine diphosphate diglyceride:inositol transferase.
CDP-diglyceride:inositol transferase in endoplasmic reticulum fractions from castor bean (Ricinus communis) endosperm was partially characterized. The enzyme had a pH optimum of 8.5 and required Mn(2+) for activity. Maximal activity was at 1.5 millimolar MnCl(2). A K(m) of 0.30 mM was calculated for myo-inositol and 1.35 millimolar was estimated for CDP-dipalmitoylglyceride. Concentrations of C...
