We have previously reported that synthesis of phospholipids increases 4-fold at the onset of chemotactic migration during development of Dictyostelium discoideum and that the newly synthesized phospholipids are preferentially incorporated into the plasma membrane (De Silva, N. S. and Siu, C-H. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 8489-8496). To test the hypothesis that the rapid transfer of phospholipids to the plasma membrane is mediated by vesicles, we isolated phospholipid-rich vesicles from cells at 6 h of development. These vesicles had an average size of 0.35 micrometer in diameter. They banded at a density of 1.097 g/cm3 and they had a phospholipid: protein (w/w) ratio of 2.25. The predominant classes of phospholipids in these vesicles were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine. In pulse-labeling studies using [3H]glycerol, these low density vesicles had the highest phospholipid-specific activity, which was about 3 times higher than that of 6-h plasma membranes. Almost 80% of the incorporated radioactivity was found to be associated with phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine. When cells were chased with cold precursor after pulse labeling, the specific activity of these vesicles dropped by almost 20-fold in 90 min, while plasma membranes showed a 2.5-fold increase in 60 min. Addition of colchicine to 7-h cells inhibited the translocation of newly synthesized phospholipids to the plasma membrane. The low density vesicles were found in much reduced amounts in preaggregation stage cells or the aggregateless mutant WL3. These results indicate that transfer of newly synthesized phospholipids from their site of synthesis to the plasma membrane probably occurs through a special class of phospholipid-rich vesicles.
