Genetic Evidence That Phosphatidylserine Synthase II Catalyzes the Conversion of Phosphatidylethanolamine to Phosphatidylserine in Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells

Phosphatidylserine (PS) in mammalian cells is synthesized through the exchange of free L-serine with the base moiety of phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). The serine base exchange in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells is catalyzed by at least two enzymes, PS synthase (PSS) I and…
