| Abstract | It is generally recognized nowadays that active lipid metabolism takes place in the nucleus of a mammalian cell. Experimental data testify to the biosynthesis of polyphosphoinositides and phosphatidylcholine and reveal corresponding enzymes within nuclei of mammalian cells. These findings suggest that lipidmediated signaling pathways in nuclei operate independently of lipid-mediated regulatory mechanisms functioning in membranes and cytosol. To explore the pathways of intranuclear lipid biosynthesis, we studied incorporation of 2-$^{14}$C-acetate into lipids of cytosol and isolated nuclei of rat thymus cells after separate and combined incubation with the labeled precursor. The most efficient incorporation of 2-$^{14}$C-acetate into lipids (cholesterol, free fatty acids, and phospholipids) was observed in a reaction mixture containing cytosol. When the reaction mixture contained only nuclei, incorporation of the radioactive precursor into lipids also took place, but specific radioactivity of the lipids was essentially lower than in the cytosol. In both cases, 2-$^{14}$C-acetate incorporated into phosphatidylethanolamine, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, and cardiolipin. Phosphatidylcholine, the most abundant membrane phospholipid, demonstrated the lowest radioactivity, which was significantly lower than that of phosphatidylethanolamine. Incorporation of newly synthesized free fatty acids in nuclear phospholipids was inhibited, if nuclei were incubated with cytosol. As a result, radioactive free fatty acids were accumulated in nuclei, while in cytosol they were efficiently incorporated into phospholipids. The levels of phospholipids and cholesterol remained constant regardless of incubation protocol, while the overall yield of free fatty acids decreased after combined incubation of nuclear and cytosolic fractions or after incubation of cytosol without nuclei. Putative mechanisms underlying the appearance of radioactive lipids in isolated nuclei of thymus cells are discussed. |

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.
