Enzymatic synthesis of cytidine diphosphate diglyceride.

چکیده
Evidence is presented for the enzymatic formation of cytidine diphosphate diglyceride in microsomal preparations from guinea pig liver according to the reaction: CTP + phosphatidic acid right harpoon over left harpoon CDP-diglyceride + p-O-P. Conditions have been found in which the incorporation of labeled CTP into CDP-diglyceride is almost entirely dependent upon added phosphatidic acid. The incorporation of CMP into lipid is very slight. A substantial net synthesis of CDP-diglyceride takes place under these conditions. Some properties of the enzyme system are described.

Biosynthesis of cytidine diphosphate diglyceride by human platelets.
Homogenates of human platelets contain an enzyme which catalyzes the formation of cytidine diphosphate diglyceride from cytidine triphosphate and phosphatidic acid. The enzymatic activity could not be dissociated from platelet particles and the greatest specific activity was found in the membrane fraction. The K(m) for cytidine triphosphate was 0.16 mmole/liter and the apparent K(m) for phospha...
متن کاملThe biosynthesis of phosphatidylinositol in human platelets.
Homogenates of human platelets can mediate the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol from myoinositol and cytidine diphosphate diglyceride. The cytidine diphosphate diglyceride: myoinositol, phosphatidyl transferase activity is particulate-bound, and the highest specific activity is found in the membrane fraction. The production of phosphatidylinositol is decreased by sulfhydryl-binding agents, and...
متن کاملIdentification of cytidine diphosphate-diglyceride in the pineal gland of the rat and its accumulation in the presence of DL-propranolol.
CDP-diglyceride, an important metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of phospholipids, has been isolated for the first time from a mammalian tissue. The isolated material, labeled in incubations of intact rat pineal glands with 32P, [3H]cytidine, or [3H]CTP in the presence of DL-propranolol, was chromatographically identical with authentic CDP-diglyceride and was able to serve as phosphatid...

The activity of the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of cytidine diphosphate diglyceride has been found in the 20,000g pellet of a cauliflower (Brassica oleracea) inflorescence homogenate. Greater enzyme activity was found in the pellet after treatment with 0.02% Triton X-100, or after freezing and thawing. Activity was greater when fluoride was included in the reaction mixture. The enzyme ...

The enzymatic synthesis of inositol monophosphatide has been described in reports by Agranoff et al. (l), Thompson et al. (2), and Paulus and Kennedy (3, 4). An enzymatic reaction in which free inositol is incorporated into inositol phosphatide, stimulated by the addition of any of a number of cytidine nucleotides, including cytidine 5’-monophosphate and cytidine diphosphate choline, was fnst o...
