Abstract
A method using liquid chromatography - atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation mass spectrometry was evaluated for determining the molecular species composition of phospholipids (phosphatidylcholines from soybean, egg yolk and bovine liver) after conversion to diacylglycerol nicotinate derivatives. The structures could be deduced from pseudo-molecular ions ([MH-123](+)) and three pairs of monoacyl containing fragment ions. All molecular species in mixed peaks were readily identified and many minor components, earlier not encountered in the samples under investigation, were identified. Acyl chain regioisomers were readily distinguished by the ratio of the [MH-RCHCO](+) ions. Molecular species differing only in the position of the double bonds in one polyunsaturated acyl chain were separated on the basis of retention times. A half quantitative estimation of the molecular species composition of complex samples was achieved by a combination of UV detection and, for mixed peaks, the areas of [MH-123](+) ions.

Abstract
The effect of soybean oil (SO) and fish oil (FO) on the relative molecular species distribution of phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylserine (PS) in Atlantic salmon head kidney was studied using normal-phase liquid chromatography coupled with negative ion electrospray tandem mass spectrometry. The conformation of identity of the phospholipid species was based on retention time, the mass of the [M-H]- ([M-15]- for PC) molecular ions and the carboxylate anion fragments in the product ion spectrum. The intensity ratio of sn-1/sn-2 fragment ions increased with increasing number of double bonds in the sn-2 acyl chain but was not affected by increasing number of double bonds in the sn-1 acyl chain of the species examined. The relative distribution of the molecular species was determined by multiple reaction monitoring of the carboxylate anion fragment from the sn-1 position. A total of 68 different phospholipid species were determined in the head kidney and the largest amount was found in PE (22 species). Depending on the diet, the main species identified in the different phospholipid classes were; PC 16:0/18:1, PE 16:0/22:6, PI 18:0/20:4 and PS 16:0/22:6. The SO diet significantly increased the 18:2, 20:3 and most 20:4 containing species and significantly reduced the 14:0 and most 20:5 and 22:6 fatty acid containing species. The increase of the 20:4 and the decrease of the 20:5 and 22:6 containing species were dependent on the fatty acid combination of the species.

Abstract
A method utilizing electrospray ionization coupled with tandem mass spectrometry was developed as a facile and rapid method to identify and quantify lipid remodeling in vivo. Electrospray/tandem mass spectrometric analyses were performed on lipids isolated from liver tissue and resident peritoneal cells from essential fatty acid sufficient and deficient mice. Essential fatty acid deficiency was chosen as the paradigm to evaluate the methodology because it epitomizes the most extreme dietary means of altering fatty acid composition of virtually all cellular lipid species. Qualitative and quantitative changes were measured in the phospholipid and cholesterol ester species directly in the chloroform/methanol lipid extract without any prior chromatographic separation. Lipid remodeling in liver and peritoneal cells from essential fatty acid deficient mice was qualitatively similar in cholesterol ester, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamine. The monoenoic fatty acids palmitoleic acid (16:1 n-7) and oleic acid (18:1 n-9) were increased markedly, whereas all n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were nearly depleted in phospholipid and cholesterol ester species. The n-9 polyunsaturated fatty acid surrogate, Mead acid (20:3 n-9), substituted for arachidonic acid (20:4 n-6) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 n-3) in phospholipid, but not in cholesterol ester, species. Another notable difference was that adrenic acid (22:4 n-6) and docosapentaenoic acid (22:5 n-6), both metabolites of arachidonic acid, accumulated in phospholipid and cholesterol ester species of peritoneal cells, but not in liver cells, of essential fatty acid sufficient mice. The overall body of data presented illustrates the implementation of electrospray/tandem mass spectrometry as a method for facile and direct quantification of changes in lipid species during lipid metabolic studies.

Abstract
The enzyme acyl coenzyme A:1-acyllysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (acyl-CoA:lysoPC acyltransferase) can be isolated in newly formed phosphatidylcholine (PC) vesicles by solubilization of rat liver microsomes with the two substrates lysoPC and acyl-CoA. In this study, we sought to optimized the conditions for the formation of PC vesicles and analyzed the lipid composition and enzyme activity of the newly formed vesicles. Analysis of PC vesicles formed by incubation of the microsomal preparation with 1-(C16:0)lysoPC and C18:1CoA, C18:2CoA, or C20:4CoA showed that the optimal protein:lysoPC ratio was 1:5 (by weight) and the optimal lysoPC:acyl-CoA ratio was 1:1 (molar amounts). PC formation increased with incubation time; after 20 h of incubation at 37 degrees C, approximately 75% of the lysoPC was converted to PC in the incubation mixture. The phospholipid molecular species composition of the vesicles reflected almost exclusively the substrates used; the vesicles contained approximately 33% of the total acyl-CoA:lysoPC acyltransferase activity from the microsomes and demonstrated a single protein band with a molecular mass of 21 kDa by gel electrophoresis. The procedure selected for the enzyme specific for lysoPC acylation, as enzyme activity toward lysophosphatidylethanolamine (lysoPE), lysophosphatidylserine (lysoPS), and lysophosphatidylinositol (lysoPI), was very low. In addition, the utilization of different acyl-CoA substrates for acylation of lysoPC was different from that in microsomes. These results show that an enzyme specific for the formation of PC from lysoPC can be isolated in PC vesicles with a designed phospholipid molecular species composition and that the lipid environment plays an important role in the regulation of the enzyme's affinity for its substrates.

Abstract
We have studied the mechanism by which calcium-loading of human erythrocytes stimulates phospholipid turnover and generates diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid. Using quantitative measurement of individual phospholipid classes, we have demonstrated that the amount of phosphatidic acid generated during calcium-loading of intact red cells exceeds the amount of diacylglycerol formed by phospholipase-C-mediated hydrolysis of the polyphosphoinositol lipids and that addition of the diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor, R59022, only partly inhibited this increase. Thus, in contrast to current explanations, the phosphatidic acid generated following calcium-loading of erythrocytes cannot be solely explained by the action of a polyphosphoinositol-lipid-specific phospholipase C with subsequent phosphorylation of diacylglycerol to phosphatidic acid. Our data demonstrate that calcium-loading of intact erythrocytes, but not of red cell ghost membranes, causes a small but significant decrease in the relative amount of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho). In order to identify the mechanisms responsible for calcium-mediated hydrolysis of PtdCho, we encapsulated Ptd[Me-14C]Cho-containing rat liver microsomes into erythrocytes and studied the generation of [Me-14C]choline and phospho[Me-14C]choline. We found that choline was the only detectable 14C-labeled product. Furthermore, incubation of erythrocytes with calcium under hypotonic conditions and in the presence of [14C]PtdCho vesicles and ethanol resulted in the formation of [14C]phosphatidylethanol. Together, these results suggest that the loss of PtdCho during calcium-loading of human erythrocytes is caused by a previously unrecognized PtdCho-hydrolyzing phospholipase D, resulting in direct generation of phosphatidic acid. Analysis of the molecular species composition of PtdCho, phosphatidic acid, and diradylglycerol, confirm the simultaneous actions of PtdCho-hydrolyzing and polyphosphoinositol-lipid-hydrolyzing phospholipases in calcium-loaded human erythrocytes.

Abstract
We present a quantitative description of the molecular species composition of the major phospholipid classes in bloodstream and procyclic forms of Trypanosoma brucei. Phospholipid classes were resolved by 2-dimensional thin-layer chromatography. Diradylglycerols were released from individual phospholipid classes by phospholipases C, converted into benzoate derivatives and separated into diacyl, alkylacyl and alk-1-enylacyl subclasses. Individual molecular species were quantitated and identified by HPLC and the assignments were confirmed by mass spectrometry. Comparison of the diacyl species of PC, PE and PI in bloodstream trypanosomes showed major differences in the relative amounts of individual molecular species between the different classes but not striking changes in the degree of saturation or overall chain length. In contrast, in procyclic trypanosomes the relative amounts of diacyl molecular species with polyunsaturated fatty acyl chains decreased in the order of PC > PE >> PI. Also, the alkylacyl and alk-1-enylacyl subclasses of PC and PE in bloodstream trypanosomes comprised a single molecular species, 18:0 18:2. Such exclusivity was not observed in procyclic trypanosomes among the same phospholipid subclasses, although 18:0 18:2 was the predominant species. Almost all the PI of bloodstream forms contained one 18:0 acyl species, which is consistent with the composition of the PI used for glycosylphosphatidylinositol synthesis.

Abstract
Glycosyl-inositolphospholipid (glycosyl-PtdIns) anchors of proteins in mammalian cells which have been analyzed so far are exclusively of the alkylacyl type. However, little is known about the putative precursor of glycosyl-PtdIns, the alkylacyl derivative of glycerophosphoinositol (GroPIns), in these cells since it is generally believed that cellular GroPIns consists of diacyl-type molecular species only. In this report, we describe the isolation and identification of alkylacyl GroPIns molecular species in both human and bovine erythrocytes, and compare it with the molecular species compositions of the glycosyl-PtdIns anchors of human and bovine erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase. Diradyl GroPIns was isolated from lipid extracts of ghost membranes and treated with phospholipase C. Diradylglycerols of the glycosyl-PtdIns anchors of affinity-purified human and bovine erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase were generated by sequential treatment with glycoprotein phospholipase D and acidic phosphatase and by PtdIns-specific phospholipase C, respectively. Diradylglycerols were subsequently converted into benzoate derivatives and separated into diacyl, alkylacyl, and alkenylacylglycerol subclasses. The molecular species compositions were quantitated and determined by combined HPLC/mass spectrometry. We found that human and bovine erythrocyte membrane diradyl GroPIns consist of 1.5-4.8% alkylacyl GroPIns. Molecular species analysis showed a heterogeneous species composition for both human and bovine erythrocyte alkylacyl GroPIns. Their compositions are distinctly different from those of human and bovine erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase glycosyl-PtdIns anchors. The number of alkylacyl GroPIns molecules/cell is roughly equal with the number of glycosyl-PtdIns-anchored proteins in human erythrocytes.
