The incubation of hepatocytes with 1-4mM-oleate increased the total activity of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase that was measured in the presence of Mg2+ to about 2-fold. This was accompanied by an increase in the proportion of the enzyme that was isolated with the particulate fractions. Conversely, the addition of up to 4mM-oleate decreased the recovery of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase in the cytosolic fraction from about 70% to 3% when hepatocytes were lysed with digitonin. Most of the increase in the membrane-associated phosphohydrolase activity was isolated after cell fractionation in the microsomal fraction that was enriched with the endoplasmic-reticulum marker arylesterase. It is proposed that the translocation of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase facilitates the increased synthesis of triacylglycerols in the liver when it is presented with an increased supply of fatty acids.
