(1)Cytidine diphosphate diacylglycerol, uridine diphosphate diacylglycerol, adenosine diphosphate diacylglycerol and guanosine diphosphate diacylglycerol were synthesized chemically and their purity assessed. The acticity of these compounds in acidic phospholipid synthesis was examined in rat liver mitochondria and microsomes. (2) Phosphatidylglycerol synthesis in rat liver mitochondria exhibited considerable activity with CDP diacylglycerol (v 7.0 nmol mg-1 h-1). UDPdiacylglycerol (v 5.4) and ADP diacylglyc erol (v 4.2). GDP diacylglycerol activity was detectable but very low. (3) Diphophatidylglycerol formation in mitochondria and phosphatidylinositolsythesis in microsomes exhibited considerable more specificity for CDP diacylglycerol. However, at high concentrations, measurable diphosphaticylglycerol and phophatidylinositol synthesis was observed with the other liponucleotides. (4) Although considerable phosphatidylglycerol formation was observed with UDPdiacaylglycerol and ADP diacylglycerol, it is unlikelky that these compounds are of physiologic importance, at least in rat liver, since CTP:phophatidic acid cytidyltransferase in microsomes and mitochondria was shown to be specific for cytidine triphosphate. The lack of specificity of phosphatiidylglycerol synthesis for CDP diacylglycerol is currently unexplained but may be of some importance in other tissues or in other organisms. |
