Evidence for the presence of DNA primase in mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

abstract：:Human platelets have been shown to contain a Ca++- and CoA-independent transacylase enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of arachidonic acid from phosphatidylcholine (PC) to lysoplasmenylethanolamine. It has been suggested that this route may represent a major source for released arachidonic acid in stimulated platelets...
