Lipid metabolism in microsomal fraction from photosynthetic tissue. Effects of catalase and hydrogen peroxide on oleate desaturation

D J Murphy et al. Biochem J. .

Abstract

On incubation of microsomal fraction from pea (Pisum sativum L.) leaves with ammonium [1-14C]oleate or [1-14C]oleoyl-CoA in the presence of ATP, CoA, Mg2+ and NADH, the major reactions observed were those catalysed by oleoyl-CoA synthetase, oleoyl-CoA thioesterase, oleoyl-CoA:phosphatidylcholine acyltransferase and oleoyl phosphatidylcholine desaturase. The reaction catalysed by oleoyl phosphatidylcholine desaturase was specifically inhibited by H2O2, and this inhibitory effect was overcome by catalase (EC 1.11.1.6).
