Macrophage microsomes catalyzed the transfer of arachidonic acid (20:4) from 1,2-diacyl-glycerophosphocholine (GPC) to 1-alkyl-GPC (lyso platelet-activating factor). This enzyme reaction did not require the presence of cofactors such as Co A. Free arachidonic acid or linoleic acid-labeled phospholipids failed to act as the acyl donor. These results suggest that the reaction is a CoA-independent direct transfer of arachidonic acid. This arachidonoyl transacylation system may play a very important role in the metabolism of lyso platelet-activating factor and also in the elimination or release of arachidonic acid from diacyl-GPC.
