Cell-free extracts from Lemna and suspension cultured carrot (Daucus carota L.) catalyze S-adenosylmethionine-dependent N-methylations of phosphoethanolamine, phosphomethylethanolamine, and phosphodimethylethanolamine; extracts of suspension cultured soybean (Glycine max). of phosphoethanolamine only. Material pelleted from each tissue between 15,000 and 100,000g catalyzes S-adenosylmethionine-dependent N-methylations of phosphatidylmethylethanolamine and phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, but not phosphatidylethanolamine. Extracts from each tissue catalyze CTP-dependent cytidylytranfers to each of the three methylated phosphoethanolamine derivatives, forming the corresponding CDP derivatives. Some of the properties of the activities investigated are reported. On the basis of in vivo labeling experiments, we have proposed (AH Datko, SH Mudd 1988 Plant Physiol 88: 854-861) differing pathways for phosphatidylcholine synthesis in which, after a common committing step, N-methylation of phosphoethanolamine, subsequent methylations occur in Lemna almost exclusively at the phospho-base level; in soybean, at the phosphatidyl-base level; and in carrot, at both levels. Thus, among the activities investigated, at least those required for the operation of the proposed pathways have been positively demonstrated. The extent to which the present results explain the differences between these pathways is discussed, and a speculation offered as to how these differences may have arisen phylogenetically.
