1. When [1-14C]oleoyl-CoA was incubated with a pea-leaf homogenate oleate was both incorporated into microsomal 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine and released as the unesterified fatty acid. The proportion of oleate incorporated into this phospholipid was dependent on the relative amounts of thiol ester and microsomal preparation present in reactions. 2. At the concentrations of microsomal preparation and [14C]oleoyl-CoA used to study oleate desaturation the metabolism of the thiol ester was essentially complete after 5 min incubation, but the loss of label from 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine oleate and the concomitant increase in radioactivity in the linoleate of this phospholipid proceeded at approximately linear rates over a 60 min period. The kinetics of labelling of unesterified linoleate was consistent with the view that this labelled fatty acid was derived from 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine. 3. Oleate desaturation required oxygen and with unwashed microsomal fractions was stimulated either by NADPH or by the 105 000g supernatant. Washed microsomal preparations did not catalyse desaturation, but actively was restored by the addition of NADPH, 105 000G supernatant or Sephadex-treated supernatant. NADPH could be replaced by NADH or NADP+, but not by NAD+. 4. Microsomal fractions from mature and immature maize lamina and expanding spinach leaves also rapidly incorporated oleate from ([14C]oleoyl-CoA into 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine, but desaturation of 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine oleate was detected only with microsomal preparations from immature maize lamina. 5. It is proposed that leaf microsomal preparations posses an oleate desaturase for which 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine oleate is either the substrate or an immediate precursor of the substrate.
