Control of membrane phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis by diacylglycerol levels in neuronal cells undergoing neurite outgrowth.
Phospholipids are the major components of cell membranes and are required for cellular growth. We studied membrane phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) biosynthesis in neuronal cells undergoing neurite outgrowth, by using PC12 cells as a model system. When neurite outgrowth was induced by exposing PC12 cells to nerve growth factor for 2 and 4 days, the amounts of [14C]choline incorporated into [14C]pho...
متن کاملRegulation of Phosphatidylcholine Biosynthesis in Cultured Chick
Cultures of embryonic chick muscle cells grown in medium containing phospholipase C from Clostridium perfringens incorporated [‘Hlcholine into lipid at a rate 3to &fold higher than control cultures. To determine the mechanism by which stimulation of phosphatidylcholine synthesis occurred in phospholipase C-treated cells, activities of enzymes and levels of intermediates in the biosynthetic path...
متن کاملPathways for phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis in bacteria.
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the major membrane-forming phospholipid in eukaryotes with important structural and signalling functions. Although many prokaryotes lack PC, it can be found in significant amounts in membranes of rather diverse bacteria. Two pathways for PC biosynthesis are known in bacteria, the methylation pathway and the phosphatidylcholine synthase (PCS) pathway. In the methylati...
متن کاملExpression and physiological relevance of Agrobacterium tumefaciens phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis genes.
Phosphatidylcholine (PC), or lecithin, is the major phospholipid in eukaryotic membranes, whereas only 10% of all bacteria are predicted to synthesize PC. In Rhizobiaceae, including the phytopathogenic bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens, PC is essential for the establishment of a successful host-microbe interaction. A. tumefaciens produces PC via two alternative pathways, the methylation pathw...
متن کاملHexadecylphosphocholine inhibits phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis and the proliferation of HepG2 cells.
Hexadecylphosphocholine (HePC) is a synthetic lipid representative of a new group of antiproliferative agents, alkylphosphocholines (APC), which are promising candidates in anticancer therapy. Thus we have studied the action of HePC on the human hepatoblastoma cell line HepG2, which is frequently used as a model for studies into hepatic lipid metabolism. Non-toxic, micromolar concentrations of ...
