The structural similarity between arsenobetaine and glycine betaine suggested that arsenic may substitute for nitrogen in pathways of phospholipid biosynthesis and was the basis for a proposed biogenetic pathway for arsenobetaine (174). The proposed pathway begins with arsenic present as either arsenoethanolamine or arsenocholine. However, the origin of these two compounds is not discussed, and there has been no experimental evidence to support the hypothesis. 

This interconnected network of membrane vesicles is divided into two distinct parts. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), which is studded with ribosomes, is the site of membrane and secretory protein biosynthesis and their post-translational modification. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is involved in phospholipid biosynthesis and in the detoxification of toxic compounds.

As shown in Table I, there is substantial in vitro evidence that GTP stimulates anabolic processes in cell-free systems ranging from nucleic acid and protein synthesis through nucleic acid function, protein glyco-sylation, assembly, phospholipid biosynthesis, and even cell wall biosynthesis. As summarized in Table I, GTP influences on 12 different anabolic processes have been characterized in cell-free systems. In each case, GTP stimulates the anabolic process involved. 

A large number of cellular processes and biosythetic pathways of eukaryotic cells are compartmentalized and restricted to specific membranes. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are two cases in point. In prokaryotic cells, many of the same functions are performed by a single membrane. The transport of metabolites and ions, oxidative phosphorylation, photosynthesis, phospholipid biosynthesis, and the synthesis of cell-wall constituents are a few examples of processes carried out by enzyme systems localized in the bacterial plasma membrane (Chapters...
