Acyltransferase activities in adult rat type II pneumocyte-derived subcellular fractions

Acyl-CoA: lysophosphatidyl-choline, acyl-CoA: lysophosphatidyl-ethanolamine, and lysophosphatidyl-choline: lysophosphatidyl-choline acyltransferases were investigated using subcellular fractions derived from adult rat type II pneumocytes in primary culture. Acyl-CoA: lysophospholipid acyltransferase...

Summary:Acyl-CoA: lysophosphatidyl-choline, acyl-CoA: lysophosphatidyl-ethanolamine, and lysophosphatidyl-choline: lysophosphatidyl-choline acyltransferases were investigated using subcellular fractions derived from adult rat type II pneumocytes in primary culture. Acyl-CoA: lysophospholipid acyltransferase activities were determined to be microsomal, while lysophosphatidylcholine: lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase activity was found to be cytosolic. Total palmitoyl CoA: lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase activity was 30-fold greater than lysophosphatidylcholine: lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase activity. The type II pneumocyte acyltransferase system(s) can selectively utilize palmitoyl-CoA.
