PG - 425-30 AB - Effect of guanosine 5'-triphosphate(GTP) on the S-adenosyl-L-methionine-mediated methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine was examined using rat liver plasma membranes. Methyltransferase I, which catalyzes methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidyl-N-mono-methylethanolamine was inhibited by GTP, whereas methyltransferase II, which transfers methyl groups from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to produce phosphatidyl-N,N-dimethylethanolamine or phosphatidyl-choline was stimulated by GTP. d,l-isoproterenol stimulated methyl-transferase II activity slightly. This stimulation was greatly augmented by GTP. d,l-isoproterenol inhibited methyltransferase I and this inhibition was enhanced by GTP. The results indicate that GTP has a regulatory role in the methylation of phospholipids in the plasma membrane through inactivation of methyltransferase I and activation of methyltransferase II by binding to these enzymes.
