Phosphoethanolamine bases as intermediates in phosphatidylcholine synthesis by lemna.
The pathway for synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, the dominant methyl-containing end product formed by Lemna paucicostata, has been investigated. Methyl groups originating in methionine are rapidly utilized by intact plants to methylate phosphoethanolamine successively to the mono-, di-, and tri-methyl (i.e. phosphocholine) phosphoethanolamine derivatives. With continued labeling, radioactivity...
متن کاملPhosphatidylcholine synthesis in castor bean endosperm : free bases as intermediates.
The methylation steps in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine by castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) endosperm have been studied by pulse-chase labeling. Endosperm halves were incubated with [methyl-(14)C]S-adenosyl-l-methionine, [2-(14)C]ethanolamine, [(14)C]ethanolamine phosphate, or [(14)C]serine phosphate. The kinetics of appearance were followed in the free, phospho-, and phosphatidyl-bas...
متن کاملEnzymes of phosphatidylcholine synthesis in lemna, soybean, and carrot.
Cell-free extracts from Lemna and suspension cultured carrot (Daucus Carota L.) catalyze S-adenosylmethionine-dependent N-methylations of phosphoethanolamine, phosphomethylethanolamine, and phosphodimethylethanolamine; extracts of suspension cultured soybean (Glycine max), of phosphoethanolamine only. Material pelleted from each tissue between 15,000 and 100,000g catalyzes S-adenosylmethionine-...
متن کاملRadiotracer evidence implicating phosphoryl and phosphatidyl bases as intermediates in betaine synthesis by water-stressed barley leaves.
In barley, glycine betaine is a metabolic end product accumulated by wilted leaves; betaine accumulation involves acceleration of de novo synthesis from serine, via ethanolamine, N-methylethanolamines, choline, and betaine aldehyde (Hanson, Scott 1980 Plant Physiol 66: 342-348). Because in animals and microorganisms the N-methylation of ethanolamine involves phosphatide intermediates, and becau...
متن کاملSynthesis of methylated ethanolamine moieties: regulation by choline in lemna.
The results of experiments in which intact plants of Lemna paucicostata were labeled with either l-[(3)H(3)C]methionine, l-[(14)CH(3)]methionine, or [1,2-(14)C]ethanolamine support the conclusion that growth in concentrations of choline of 3.0 micromolar or above brings about marked decreases in the rate of biosynthesis of methylated forms of ethanolamine (normally present chiefly as phosphatid...
