摘要
A method was developed for solubilization of a phosphatidylethanolamine-dependent methyltransferase system for phosphatidylcholine synthesis in mouse liver microsomes. A preparation with high specific activity was obtained in good yield by treating 0.3% deoxycholate-treated microsomes with 0.2% Triton X-100. With this preparation, methyl incorporation into phospholipids was activated by phosphatidylethanolamine and its methylated intermediates. The specific activity of the preparation with phosphatidylethanolamine was 4 times that of intact microsomes. The reaction products with the solubilized preparation were phosphatidylcholine and methylated intermediates of phosphatidylethanolamine. © 1979 Academic Press, Inc.
