Stimulation of Phosphatidylethanolamine Exchange by Castor Bean Cytosol Proteins 1

PMCID: PMC440326  PMID: 16661189

Abstract

Cytosol proteins prepared from castor bean endosperm (4-day-old) seedlings stimulate the exchange of [3H]phosphatidylethanolamine between liposomes and mitochondria. The acceleration of the exchange depends on the quantity of cytosol proteins, the time of incubation, and the respective amounts of liposomes and mitochondria. On a per seedling basis, the active proteins are essentially located in the endosperm, whereas the roots and the cotyledons are less rich in these proteins.
