چکیده
1. Conditions were established for the reaction of retinal with phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, ethanolamine and serine in chloroform, ethanol or ethanol-water solutions to form retinylidene compounds, or Schiff bases. 2. The Schiff bases were reduced to retinyl compounds with sodium borohydride. 3. Absorption maxima and molar extinction coefficients were determined for the various retinylidene and retinyl compounds and for the corresponding coloured products formed by their reaction with antimony trichloride.

Enzymatic synthesis and decarboxylation of phosphatidylserine in Tetrahymena pyriformis.
Cell-free extracts of the protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis have been found to catalyze the following reactions: Phosphatidylethanolamine + L-Serine <==> Phosphatidylserine + Ethanolamine. Phosphatidylserine --> Phosphatidylethanolamine + CO(2) divided by Net: L-Serine --> Ethanolamine + CO(2). The biosynthesis of phosphatidylserine in this organism resembles that found in higher animals. In con...
متن کاملSerine Regulates Phosphatidylethanolamine Biosynthesis
The role of serine as a precursor and metabolic regulator for phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis in the hamster heart was investigated. Hearts were perfused with 60 p~ [l-SH]ethanolamine in the presence or absence of serine for up to 60 min. Ethanolamine uptake was attenuated by 0.05-10 mM serine in a noncompetitive manner, and the incorporation of labeled ethanolamine into phosphatidylet...
متن کاملPhosphatidylserine functions as the major precursor of phosphatidylethanolamine in cultured BHK-21 cells.
Pulse-chase experiments with [3H]serine provide evidence that significant amounts of phosphatidylserine turn over to form phosphatidylethanolamine in mammalian cells in tissue culture. Phospholipase C hydrolysis of [3H]phosphatidylethanolamine synthesized from [3H]serine by baby hamster kidney (BHK-21) cells demonstrates that nearly all of the radiolabel remains in the ethanolamine moiety. Unif...
متن کاملThe all-trans-retinal dimer series of lipofuscin pigments in retinal pigment epithelial cells in a recessive Stargardt disease model.
The bis-retinoid pigments that accumulate in retinal pigment epithelial cells as lipofuscin are associated with inherited and age-related retinal disease. In addition to A2E and related cis isomers, we previously showed that condensation of two molecules of all-trans-retinal leads to the formation of a protonated Schiff base conjugate, all-trans-retinal dimer-phosphatidylethanolamine. Here we r...
متن کاملThe utilization of ethanolamine and serine for ethanolamine phosphoglyceride synthesis by human Y79 retinoblastoma cells.
Phospholipid synthesis was investigated in human Y79 retinoblastoma cells, a cultured cell line of retinal origin that retains many neural characteristics. Ethanolamine is taken up by Y79 cells through a high-affinity transport system and is utilized to synthesize ethanolamine and choline phosphoglycerides. High-affinity ethanolamine uptake has a K'm of 40.6 microM and a V'max of 1.06 nmol/min/...
