13. Autogenous regulation of ethanolamine utilization by a transcriptional activator of the eut operon in Salmonella typhimurium.
The genes required for use of ethanolamine as a carbon and nitrogen source are encoded by a single operon (eut) whose expression is induced by the simultaneous presence of both ethanolamine and cobalamin (vitamin B12). The action of B12 as an inducer of this operon reflects the fact that this cofactor is required by the degradative enzyme ethanolamine lyase

14. Carcinoembryonic antigen is anchored to membranes by covalent attachment to a glycosylphosphatidylinositol moiety: identification of the ethanolamine linkage site.
The COOH-terminal amino acid of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is shown to covalently link with ethanolamine, evidence consistent with the anchorage of CEA to the plasma membrane through a phosphatidylinositol-glycan tail. Purified CEA was digested with trypsin, and the resulting peptides were isolated by reverse-phase HPLC. Tryptic hexapeptide T12, terminat

15. Ethanolamine utilization in Salmonella typhimurium.
Ethanolamine can serve as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen for Salmonella typhimurium if vitamin B12 is present to serve as a cofactor. The pathway for ethanolamine utilization has been investigated in order to understand its regulation and determine whether the pathway is important to the selective forces that have maintained the ability to synthesize

16. Reassociation of Purified Lipopolysaccharide and Phospholipid of the Bacterial Cell Envelope: Electron Microscopic and Monolayer Studies
Phosphatidyl ethanolamine and lipopolysaccharide were extracted and purified from the cell envelope fractions of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. The two components were studied separately and after recombination, by use of electron microscopy and monolayer techniques, and by measuring their ability to participate in the enzyme-catalyzed uridine

17. Ethanolamine utilization in Salmonella typhimurium: nucleotide sequence, protein expression, and mutational analysis of the cchA cchB eutE eutJ eutG eutH gene cluster.
A fragment of the Salmonella typhimurium ethanolamine utilization operon was cloned and characterized. The 6.3-kb nucleotide sequence encoded six complete open reading frames, termed cchA, cchB, eutE, eutJ, eutG, and eutH. In addition, the nucleotide sequences of two incomplete open reading frames, termed eutX and eutI, were also determined. Comparison of th

18. Phosphatidylethanolamine is the donor of the terminal phosphoethanolamine group in trypanosome glycosylphosphatidylinositols.
A variety of eukaryotic cell surface proteins, including the variant surface glycoproteins of African trypanosomes, rely on a covalently attached lipid, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI), for membrane attachment. GPI anchors are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum by stepwise glycosylation of phosphatidylinositol (via UDP-GlcNAc and dolichol-P-mannose)

19. Yeast mutants auxotrophic for choline or ethanolamine.
Three mutants of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae which require exogenous ethanolamine or choline were isolated. The mutants map to a single locus (cho1) on chromosome V. The lipid composition suggests that cho1 mutants do not synthesize phosphatidylserine under any growth conditions. If phosphatidylethanolamine or phosphatidylcholine, which are usually de

20. Phosphatidylserine translocation to the mitochondrion is an ATP-dependent process in permeabilized animal cells.
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells were pulse labeled with [3H]serine, and the synthesis of phosphatidyl[3H]ethanolamine from phosphatidyl[3H]serine during the subsequent chase was used as a measure of lipid translocation to the mitochondria. When the CHO-K1 cells were pulse labeled and subsequently permeabilized with 50 micrograms of saponin per ml, there

21. Radiotracer Evidence Implicating Phosphoryl and Phosphatidyl Bases as Intermediates in Betaine Synthesis by Water-Stressed Barley Leaves 12
In barley, glycine betaine is a metabolic end product accumulated by wilted leaves; betaine accumulation involves acceleration of de novo synthesis from serine, via ethanolamine, N-methylethanolamines, choline, and betaine aldehyde (Hanson, Scott 1980 Plant Physiol 66: 342-348). Because in animals and microorganisms the N-methylation of ethanolamine involves

22. The 17-Gene Ethanolamine (eut) Operon of Salmonella typhimurium Encodes Five Homologues of Carboxysome Shell Proteins
The eut operon of Salmonella typhimurium encodes proteins involved in the cobalamin-dependent degradation of ethanolamine. Previous genetic analysis revealed six eut genes that are needed for aerobic use of ethanolamine; one (eutR), encodes a positive regulator which mediates induction of the operon by vitamin B12 plus ethanolamine. The DNA sequence of the e

23. Use of radioactive ethanolamine incorporation into phospholipids to assess in vitro antimalarial activity by the semiautomated microdilution technique.
Phospholipid biosynthetic activity is intense in the erythrocytic stage of Plasmodium falciparum because of the parasite's own enzymatic machinery. The incorporation of various labeled phospholipid precursors in comparison with the incorporation of nucleic acid and protein precursors was tested to evaluate P. falciparum growth in vitro. These precursors, nam

24. Modification of adenylate cyclase activity in LM cells by manipulation of the membrane phospholipid composition in vivo.
Adenylate cyclase [atp pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing): EC 4.6.4.4] activities were examined in mouse LM cell (fibroblast) membranes that were supplemented with ethanolamine and/or fatty acids. The supplements were incorporated into the plasma membrane phospholipids in significant amounts. Fatty acid supplementations had distinct effects as compared to polar
