Isolation and functional expression in Escherichia coli of a gene encoding phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.17) from Rhodobacter sphaeroides.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 25 Jul 1993

Arondel V, Benning C, Somerville C R

Abstract excerpt

Phosphatidylcholine is a major component of membranes in most eukaryotes, but it is found only in a small number of bacteria, where it is synthesized by N-methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine. In yeast and other fungi the methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine proceeds in two steps: the methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine by phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase followed by the...
