The transbilayer fatty acid distribution of diacylglycerophosphoethanolamine and the translocation of newly synthesized phosphatidylethanolamine molecules labelled with different fatty acids has been investigated in chick brain microsomes using trinitrobenzensulfonic acid. The determination of the fatty acid composition of diacylglycerophosphoethanolamine in both the outer and the inner leaflet of the microsomal vesicles revealed a similar distribution indicating that both leaflets share the same molecular species. The in vitro incorporation of radioactive fatty acids (16:0, 18:1 and 20:4(n-6] into ethanolamine phospholipids, known to be catalyzed by the lyosphosphatidylethanolamine acyl transferase, showed that the radioactive diacylglycerophosphoethanolamine molecules appeared first in the outer leaflet and were thereafter transferred to the inner leaflet. The apparent rate of translocation of the newly synthesized ethanolamine phospholipid molecules was the highest for those labelled with 16:0 and the lowest for those labelled with 20:4(n-6). The results indicate that the active site of the acyl-CoA:lysophosphatidylethanolamine acyltransferases is located on the outer leaflet of the microsomal vesicles and that the different newly synthesized molecular species of diacylglycerophosphoethanolamine may be translocated from the outer to the inner leaflet at different rates.
