Abstract
Experiments were carried out to determine whether or not CDP-diacylglycerol:myo-inositol 3-phosphatidyltransferase (IT) activity (EC 2.7.8.11) could be detected in purified plasma-membrane fractions from WRK-1 rat mammary tumour cells. These cells have previously been shown to have a very active phosphoinositide cycle. Sucrose-density-gradient-purified plasma membranes contained no IT activity that could not be accounted for by endoplasmic-reticulum contamination. However, we also determined that the relative amount of IT activity in endoplasmic reticulum and plasma-membrane fractions could be altered by changing the concentration of detergent in the assay system.Entities:
