    Abstract:
    Separate diastereomers of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3- thiophosphoethanolamine ( DPPsE ) were prepared in 97% diastereomeric purity and characterized by 31P, 13C, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The isomers hydrolyzed by phospholipases A2 and C specifically were designated as isomer B (31P NMR delta 59.13 in CDCl3 + Et3N ) and isomer A (59.29 ppm), respectively, analogous to the isomers B and A of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3- thiophosphocholine ( DPPsC ) [ Bruzik , K., Jiang , R.-T., & Tsai, M.-D. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 2478-2486]. Phospholipase D from cabbage was shown to be specific to isomer A of DPPsC in transphosphatidylation . The product DPPsE was shown to be isomer A. The absolute configuration of chiral DPPsE at phosphorus was elucidated by bromine-mediated desulfurization in H2 18O to give chiral 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-[18O]phosphoethanolamine ( [18O]DPPE) followed by 31 P NMR analysis [ Bruzik , K., & Tsai, M.-D. (1984) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 106, 747-754]. The absolute configuration of chiral DPPsC was elucidated by desulfurization in H2 18O mediated by bromine or cyanogen bromide to give chiral 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-[18O]phosphocholine ( [18O]DPPC), which was then converted to [18O]DPPE by phospholipase D with retention of configuration [ Bruzik , K., & Tsai, M.-D. (1984) Biochemistry (preceding paper in this issue)]. The results indicate that isomer A of both DPPsE and DPPsC is SP whereas isomer B is RP.
