| Abstract | 1. Microsomal membranes from rat liver were incubated with ATP, CoA, Mg2+, [14C]palmitate, F- and sn-glycerol 3-phosphate in order to label them with [14C]phosphatidate. These membranes were isolated and used in a second incubation in which [3H]CTP was present, and the simultaneous synthesis of [14C]diacylglycerol and [3H]CDP-diacylglycerol was measured. 2. The addition of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, which had been partially purified from the particle-free supernatant, supplemented the activity of the endogenous phosphohydrolase, but it did not alter the rate of CDP-diacylglycerol formation. 3. Adding EDTA inhibited phosphatidate cytidylyl-transferase activity and stimulated the activity of the phosphohydrolases by removing excess of Mg2+. 4. Increasing the concentration of Mg2+, norfenfluramine or chlorpromazine in the assay system stimulated cytidylyltransferase activity, but decreased the activities of both phosphohydrolases. 5. The mechanism for the stimulation of cytidylyl=transferase activity by the cationic drugs and Mg2+ was investigated with emulsions of phosphatidate and the microsomal fraction of rat liver. 6. There was a threshold concentration of about 5mM-MgCl2 below which no cytidylyltransferase activity was detected in the presence or absence of norfenfluramine. Just above this threshold concentration norfenfluramine stimulated cytidylyltransferase activity, but this stimulation disappeared as the Mg2+ concentration was raised to its optimum of 20mM. Norfenfluramine therefore partially replaced the bivalent-cation requirement. 7. At 30 mM-MgCl2 amphiphilic cationic drugs inhibited cytidylyltransferase activity at relatively high concentrations in a non-competitive manner with respect to phosphatidate. 8. The implications of these results are discussed with respect to the regulation of the synthesis of the acidic phospholipids compared with the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and triacylglycerol. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
