Abstract
Phosphatidylethanolamine:ceramide-ethanolamine-phosphotransferase catalyzes the synthesis of ceramide-phosphoethanolamine, a sphingomyelin analogue. Its localization was studied in rat liver and brain microsomes. After testing the integrity and the sidedness of microsomal vesicles, trypsin treatment of intact or deoxycholate-disrupted microsomes made it possible to conclude that both the transferase and the ceramide-phosphoethanolamine are located in the cisternal leaflet of the membrane bilayer. Using trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid as a probe, no trace of newly synthesized ceramide-phosphoethanolamine was detectable on the cytoplasmic side of the microsomes.Entities:
