Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is an important membrane component of the eukaryotic cell. In yeast fungi, two phospholipid methyltransferases catalyze consecutive steps of methylation in the formation of phosphatidylcholine from phosphatidylethanolamine. However, roles of phospholipid methyltransferases in filamentous fungi remains less investigated. We report here the characterization of two genes, choA and choC, that...
