Enzymatic synthesis and decarboxylation of phosphatidylserine in Tetrahymena pyriformis

Cell-free extracts of the protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis have been found to catalyze the following reactions: Phosphatidylethanolamine+L-Serine⇌Phosphatidylserine+EthanolaminePhosphatidylserine→Phosphatidylethanolamine+CO2Net:L-Serine→Ethanolamine+CO2The biosynthesis of phosphatidylserine in this...
