Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The subcellular and submitochondrial localization of CTP:phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase is altered in the Morris 7777 hepatoma. Mitochondria in this poorly differentiated tumor are the principal sites of CDP-diacylglycerol synthesis, in contrast to normal rat liver where the endoplasmic reticulum is most active. This enzyme activity was increased 17-fold in the outer mitochondrial membrane, and a 22% increase was noted in the inner mitochondrial membrane of the 7777 hepatoma as compared with the corresponding fractions from normal rat liver. Increased mitochondrial CTP:phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase was present in six other Morris hepatomas, but it was not found in fetal rat liver mitochondria, suggesting that rapid growth alone is not responsible for the difference. Evidence is presented which indicates that mitochondrial lipid degradation is similar in normal liver and the 7777 hepatoma, in vitro. The increased activity of CTP: phosphatidate cytidylytransferase is thought to be responsible in part for the moderately increased diphosphatidylglycerol content of 7777 hepatoma mitochondria.
