The phospholipid acyl-chain dependence of the membrane-bound lysosomal beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase has been examined on control membranes from rat brain primary cell cultures and on membrane modified by culturing the cells in media supplemented with polyunsaturated fatty acids. The relationship between beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase activity and the membrane phospholipid acyl-chain composition has been evaluated. An increase in the unsaturation level of phosphatidyl ethanolamines and phosphatidylcholines, the most abundant phospholipids in this membrane fraction, is related to the rate of the enzymic reaction. The Arrhenius plot of the enzyme activity in modified membranes shows break-temperatures, starting from approximately 15 degrees C. The apparent activation energy below and above the break-temperature is not correlated with phospholipid acyl-chain unsaturation.

Diverse acyl-CoA species and acyltransferase isoenzymes are components of a complex system that synthesizes glycerophospholipids and triacylglycerols. Saccharomyces cerevisiae has four main acyl-CoA species, two main glycerol-3-phosphate 1- O-acyltransferases (Gat1p, Gat2p), and two main 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferases (Lpt1p, Slc1p). The in vivo contribution of these isoenzymes to phospholipid heterogeneity was determined using haploids with compound mutations: gat1Δlpt1Δ, gat2Δlpt1Δ, gat1Δslc1Δ, and gat2Δslc1Δ. All mutations mildly reduced [3H]palmitic acid incorporation into phospholipids relative to triacylglycerol. Electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry identified few differences from wild type in gat1Δlpt1Δ, dramatic differences in gat2Δslc1Δ, and intermediate changes in gat2Δlpt1Δ and gat1Δslc1Δ. Yeast expressing Gat1p and Lpt1p had phospholipids enriched with acyl chains that were unsaturated, 18 carbons long, and paired for length. These alterations prevented growth at 18.5°C and in 10% ethanol. Therefore, Gat2p and Slc1p dictate phospholipid acyl chain composition in rich media at 30°C. Slc1p selectively pairs acyl chains of different lengths.
