title: Lysophosphatidylcholine----phosphatidylcholine converting activity of Penicillium notatum phospholipase B.
abstract: Phospholipase B from a fungus Penicillium notatum, which was previously shown to possess phospholipase B activity as well as lysophospholipase activity, was found to have another activity to convert lysophospholipid to phospholipid, to an extent comparable to its phospholipase B activity. The enzyme did not incorporate free fatty acid into phospholipid in the presence of CoA and ATP. The results shown here coincide with data reported on yeast phospholipase B and may imply the functional and structural kinship between two related enzymes.
