Rat brain microsomal membranes were solubilized with octyl glucoside and reassembled by removing the detergent. The composition of reconstituted membranes was modified by adding exogenous lipid to the detergent-membrane mixtures. The base-exchange reactions were sensitive to these procedures. The inhibiting or activating capacity of added lipid was related to the charge of polar head groups; indeed, the addition of phosphatidylserine always resulted in inhibition and that of phosphatidylcholine very often in activation. The addition of phospholipid possessing unsaturated acyl chains inhibited less (or activated more) serine and choline base-exchange than the addition of saturated species. It is concluded that phosphatidylserine and polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine have opposite effects on base-exchange.

D008563 Membrane Lipids Lipids, predominantly phospholipids, cholesterol and small amounts of glycolipids found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. These lipids may be arranged in bilayers in the membranes with integral proteins between the layers and peripheral proteins attached to the outside. Membrane lipids are required for active transport, several enzymatic activities and membrane formation.

D008861 Microsomes Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction.
