Abstract excerpt
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, two membrane-associated enzymes catalyze the three-step methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to phosphatidylcholine (PC). Phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase (PEMT) catalyzes the first methylation reactions (PE----phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine (PMME] and phospholipid methyltransferase (PLMT) catalyzes the second two methylation reactions...
