摘要:An enzyme has been found in particulate fractions of Escherichia coli that catalyzes the incorporation of cytidine triphosphate (CTP) into lipid in the presence of exogenous phosphatidic acid and Mg++. The product has been identified enzymatically and by chromatography as cytidine diphosphate diglyceride. The reaction is optimal at a pH of 6.5 and Mg++ concentration of 5-10 m m . The apparent Km for CTP is 7 × 10-4 m and for phosphatidic acid, 2 × 10-3 m . The reaction rate falls off rapidly with time and ceases entirely after 1 hr as the result of inactivation of the system by Mg++.
