The effect of 2-Hydroxyethylhydrazine (cas 109-84-2) on the phosphatidylethanolamine methylation pathway in yeast was studied. 2-Hydroxyethylhydrazine inhibited the growth of cells. The concentration required for 50% inhibition was 66 μM. The growth rate decreased by 2-hydroxyethylhydrazine was restored by the addition of a low concentration of choline. Incorporation of radioactivity from l-[3-14C)serine, l-[methyl-14C]methionine and S-adenosyl-l-[methyl-14C]methionine into phosphatidylcholine was markedly reduced by 2-hydroxyethylhydrazine. The restoration of growth by choline was not due to the reversal of the inhibition, but to the formation of phosphatidylcholine via the CDPcholine pathway. Thus, the site of action of 2-hydroxyethylhydrazine in vivo was the phosphatidylethanolamine methylation pathway. Experiments with methylation mutants indicated that all three steps of methylation were sensitive to 2-hydroxyethylhydrazine. 2-Hydroxy-ethylhydrazine was shown to inhibit the methyltransferase after it had become chemically or metabolically transformed in cells. 2-Hydroxyethylhydrazine-resistant mutants were obtained and were found to have a defect in choline transport activity. Genetic data indicated that the uptake of 2-hydroxyethylhydrazin into cells is mediated by the choline transport system.
