| Popis: | This review covers studies on membrane-bound phospholipid desaturases in yeast and rat liver carried out in this laboratory. In yeast the desaturase system was shown to effect the direct desaturation of dioleoyl-lecithin to dilinoleoyl-lecithin. In rat liver the desaturase was capable of converting 2-eicosatrienoyl-lecithin to 2-arachidonoyl-lecithin. Both systems required reduced pyridine nucleotides, O2 and cytochrome b5. Eicosatrienoyl-lecithin desaturase along with eicosatrienoyl-CoA desaturase of rat liver microsomes was solubilized with detergents and purified 7-8-fold from the microsomal pellets. Both activities were reconstituted in the presence of deoxycholate on addition of the other components of the cytochrome b5-electron transport chain (cytochrome b5 and NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase) to the solubilized desaturase; addition of lecithin further stimulated the activities. The demonstration of desaturation of eicosatrienoyl-lecithin by a solubilized and partially purified desaturase provides strong evidence for the direct desaturation of the lecithin substrate without prior conversion to the acyl-CoA thiolester. |
