Popis: CTP:cholinephosphate cytidylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.15) was purified from pea ( Pisum sativum ) stems. The purification involved ammonium sulphate fractionation, ion exchange chromatography, removal of proteases with α 2 -macroglobulin and gel filtration. The purified enzyme had K m values for phosphorylcholine and CTP of 2.1 mM and 0.55 mM respectively. It was found to have a pH optimum of 7.5, a requirement for Mg 2+ and an M r of 56000. It could not utilize phosphorylethanolamine and its activity was not stimulated by added phospholipids.
