Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) is known to be a membrane-associated protein. However, cytosolic PEMT was detected when sufficient amounts of exogenous phospholipids were added in the incubation media. The methylation of phospholipids was measured by the incorporation of the $[^3H]-methyl$ group from S-adenosylmethionine and the methylated phospholipids were analyzed by thinlayer chromatography. The essence of the assay condition for the cytosolic enzyme was the inclusion of 200 ${\mu}g$ of each substrate, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidyl N-monomethylethanolamine (PME) and phosphatidyl N,N-dimethylethanolamine (PDE), in the reaction mixture of 100 ${\mu}l$. The subcellular fractionation of brain PEMT activities revealed that approximately 38.1 % for PME, 39.5% for PDE, and 22.4% for PC formation was present in the cytosolic fraction. The general properties of cytosolic PEMT were characterized and compared with those of neuronal nuclei PEMT.

Atherosclerosis is associated with the presence of extracellular lipid droplets and large fatty deposits, both of which are to be covered at the surface mainly by zwitterionic phospholipids. The development of atherosclerosis is often associated with the accumulation of calcium. Furthermore, the presence of glycosaminoglycans directly underlying fatty deposits in human aorta has been demonstrated. Also, the possible involvement of the interaction between sulfated polysaccharide and lipoprotein in the development of atherosclerosis has been suggested in view of the presence of both low density lipoproteins and glycosaminoglycans, as well as their complexes, in atherosclerotic aortas. Therefore interactions of sulfated polysaccharides with low density lipoproteins which serve as a vehicle for cholesterol and cholesterol ester and with zwitterionic phospholipids have been studied extensively by a number of workers to provide mechanisms. In this paper, the mechanism of the interaction of sulfated polysaccharides with low density lipoproteins and the mechanism of the interaction between sulfated polysaccharides and zwitterionic phospholipids are reviewed. The possibility of the occurence of these interactions in the body are also considered.

Tolaasin은 Pseudomonas tolaasii에 의해 생성되어 pore를 형성하는 펩티드 독소이며, 인공재배 버섯의 막 구조를 파괴하여 갈반병을 일으킨다. Tolaasin이 막에서 pore를 형성하는 기작이나 특성은 자세히 알려지지 않았으나, 인공 지질이중막에서 tolaasin에 의한 pore 형성은 제시되었다. Tolaasin에 의한 지질막에서의 pore 형성은 드물게 나타났고, 형성된 pore는 불안정하기에 tolaasin pore의 길이와 지질막의 두께가 서로 일치하지 않을 수 있음이 제안되었다. 그러므로, 탄소수가 다른 지방산으로 이루어진 인지질들을 첨가하여 tolaasin에 의한 용혈활성 변화를 측정하였다. 두 개의 decanoic acids (C10:0, 1,2-didecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine; DDPE)와 myristic acids (C14:0, 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine), stearic acids(C18:0, 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine)로 이루어진 phosphatidylethanolamine들을 적혈구와 tolaasin 펩티드가 포함된 반응용액에 가했을 때, DDPE만이 tolaasin에 의한 용혈활성을 촉진하였으며, 나머지 두 인지질은 효과를 보이지 않았다. DDPE를 다양한 농도로 처리하였을 때, tolaasin에 의한 용혈활성은 농도의존적으로 증가하였다. 중간길이의 지방산으로 구성된 인지질은 tolaasin pore 구조와 막지질 사이에 결합하여 pore 주변의 막을 얇게 함으로써 tolaasin pore를 안정화시킬 것으로 여겨진다. 본 연구의 결과는 중간 크기의 지방산으로 구성된 인지질이 tolaasin pore를 막 구조에서 안정화시킴으로써 활성을 증가시키며, 이것은 적혈구 막에서 tolaasin pore의 길이가 막의 두께보다 조금 짧을 것이라는 사실을 제안한다.

Effect of oral taurine supplementation on plasma total and phospholidpid -fatty acid profiles and their metabolism were evaluated in healthy female adults. Among twenty five female volunteers(23.6$\pm$0.3 years old ) participated in the taruine supplementation program(6g taurine /day), twenty four subjects succesfully completed the 2 week program , and only nine subjects continued to take taurine for another 2 weeks. Levels of plasma fatty acids and taruine were measured by gas-liquid chromatobraphy and an automated amino acid analyzer based on ion exchange chromatography, respectively. Plasma taurine concentration s of the subjects were 108. 7$\pm$3.4 , 184.2$\pm$8.2 and 235.9$\pm$77.0$\mu$emol/L at 0 , 2 and 4 weeks of taurine supplementation. Fatty acid compositions and elongation and desaturation indices of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in plasma total lipids were not influenced by oral taurine supplementation. However, fatty acid compositions and their metabolism in plasma phospholipids were significantly affected by taurine supplementation in female adults. Compared to the values for 0 week, the percentage of saturated fatty acids (SFA) in plasma phospholipid was significantly lowered at 2 weeks, but elevated at 4 weeks of taurine supplementation. In contrast , the percentage of phospholipid PUFA significantly increased at 2 weeks and decreased at 4 weeks of taurine supplementation from to the values for 0 weeks. Foru weeks of oral taurine supplementation signifinatly elevated the eongation index(20 : 4$\omega$6 ⇒22 : 4 $\omega$6, p<0.01), and decreased the desaturation index (20 : 3 $\omega$6 ⇒20 : 4 $\omega$6 , p<0.01) of $\omega$6 fatty acids in plasma phospholipids. Plasma taurine concentration was positively correlated with the percentage of 14 : 0 fatty acids and the enlongation index o f$\omega$3 fatty acids(20 : 5 $\omega$3 ⇒22 : 5 $\omega$3), and thenegatively correlated with the percentage of 20 : 0 in plasma phospholipids. These results indicate that oral taurine supplementation for 4 weeks signidicantly elelvated the percentage of SFA, and lowered the percentage of PUFA in plasma phospholipids with no influence on plasm total fatty aicd composition in healthy female adults.

To understand the function of phospholipids and their fatty acid composition on the morphological changes in the amp 1-4 mutant of Arabidopsis, the mutant was compared to the wild-type Arabidopsis by TLC, HPTLC, phosphorous assay, HPLC, and GC. In the mutant, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) was increased 5-fold and phosphatidylglycerol (PG) was decreased 1.2-fold (nmol phosphorous/g tissue). Inositol phospholipids showed a generally increased trend ranging from 1.4-to 3.0-fold (nmol inositol/g tissue). When fatty acid composition of the mutant was compared to the wild-type, linoleic (18:2) and linolenic (18:3) acids of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and PG were decreased but palmitoleic acid (16:1) and oleic acid (18:1) of PC was increased 2.5- and 2.1-fold (mol%), respectively. In galactolipids, myristic acid (14:0) of monogalactosyl-diacylglycerol (MGDG) were increased 5.8-fold (mol%). Among the inositol phospholipids, lysophosphatidylinositol (L-PI) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate ($PIP_2$) showed 4-and 1.9-fold (mol%) increase of 16:1, respectively. These results suggest that the increase of PE, the decrease of PG, the increase of inositol phospholipids, and the altered fatty acid composition are related to the phenotypic changes affecting the morphological features, and might cause different physiological changes in the amp 1-4 mutant compared to wild-type Arabidopsis.
