Abstract
It has been shown that the ATP-dependent incorporation of [14C]serine into phosphatidylserine in rat liver mitochondrial and microsomal fractions is prevented by EGTA. On the other hand, at low (microM) Ca2+ concentrations, serine incorporation is strongly stimulated by ATP and Mg2+. This stimulatory effect is reduced by calcium ionophore A23187. It is therefore suggested that the ATP-dependent process is that of serine base-exchange reaction, stimulated by endogenous Ca2+ accumulated inside the microsomal vesicles by Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase. The mitochondrial activity can be accounted for by contamination by the endoplasmic reticulum.Entities:
