title: Synthesis of phosphatidyl-dCMP in human lymphocytes and its enhancement by chlorpromazine.
abstract: When phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes are labelled with [3H]deoxycytidine (dCyd), a compound soluble in organic solvents is formed. Several analytical procedures such as thin-layer chromatography and alkaline hydrolysis of the product obtained after labeling of stimulated lymphocytes with [14C]glycerol and [3H]dCyd, suggest that the product synthesized is phosphatidyl-dCMP. This compound is synthesized in much smaller amounts than when permeabilized lymphocytes and [3H]dCTP as a precursor are used. The synthesis of phosphatidyl-dCMP is highly enhanced by chlorpromazine, phosphatidic acid and arachidonic acid, whereas addition of inositol diminishes the amount of detected phosphatidyl-dCMP. It is suggested that this compound would be a precursor of phosphatidylinositol.
