Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase (PEMT) and phospholipid methyltransferase (PLMT), which are encoded by the CHO2 and OPI3 genes, respectively, catalyze the three-step methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Regulation of PEMT and PLMT as well as CHO2 mRNA and OPI3 mRNA abundance was examined in S. cerevisiae cells supplemented with phospholipid...
