The biosynthesis of radioactively labelled phosphatidylglycerol via phosphatidylglycerophosphate in outer and inner mitochondrial membranes isolated from guinea pig liver was found to depend absolutely on CDP-diglycerides, which could not be biosynthesized in these membranes. The requirement for CDP-diglycerides in the biosynthesis of labelled phosphatidylglycerol could be fulfilled by the transfer of biosynthesized [3H]CDP-diglycerides from the microsomal membranes to the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes.Key words: submitoehondrial membranes, transfer, CDP-diglycerides, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerophosphate.

When isolated guinea pig liver microsomal membranes were incubated with isomeric (5-, 12-, and 16-doxyl stearoyl) spin-labelled sn-3-[2-3H]phospfaatidic acid in the presence of CTP and Mg2+, formation of corresponding CDP-[2-3H]diglycerides (in an amount representing 16.5–17.4% of the labelled lipids), which were acceptable substrates in the microsomal biosynthesis of sn-3-[2-3H]phosphatidyl-myo-[U-l4C]inositols, took place. When microsomal membranes containing known amounts of labelled CDP-diglycerides were incubated with unlabeled mitochondrial membranes, reisolated mitochondria contained labelled lipids in an amount which could not be accounted for by the microsomal contamination of reisolated mitochondria, determined by the assay of NADPH – cytochrome c reductase activity, establishing therefore the translocation of labelled CDP-diglycerides (and other labelled lipids) from microsomal to mitochondrial membranes in an amount of ~50% of microsomal content. The rate of loss of paramagnetic lipid species in microsomal and in reisolated mitochondrial membranes was found to be quite different. When reisolated mitochondria containing trans-located isomeric spin-labelled CDP-[2-3H]diglycerides were further incubated with sn-3-[U-14C]glycerophosphate, the formation of labelled phosphatidylglycerophosphate and phosphatidylglycerol was detected. These findings established that the translocation of endogenously formed CDP-[2-3H]diglycerides occurred from isolated microsomal membranes to both outer and inner mitochondrial membranes.

Transfer of membrane-bound phosphatidyl-[2′-3H]inositol from microsomal to unlabelled mitochondrial and from mitochondrial to unlabelled microsomal membranes was studied using partially purified cytosol proteins isolated from guinea pig liver cytosol. In the absence and presence of these proteins the amounts of phosphatidylinositol transfer from microsomal to mitochondrial membranes were approximately 21 and 33%, respectively, and the amounts from mitochondrial to microsomal membranes were approximately 31 and 39%, respectively. The release of phosphatidyl-[2′-3H]inositol from microsomal membranes in the absence of mitochondria was dependent on concentration of cytosol proteins. Two mechanisms for movement between membranes are proposed. In cytosol-protein-independent movement of phosphatidyl-[2′-3H]inositol from microsomal to mitochondrial membranes, a direct contact between membranes is required, since phosphatidyl-[2′-3H]inositol was not detected in the reaction medium. In the cytosol-protein-catalyzed transfer, formation of phosphatidyl-[2′-3H]inositol – cytosol protein complex is postulated, since phosphatidyl-[2′-3H]inositol was released into the reaction medium and its movement proceeded from mitochondrial to microsomal membranes in the presence of partially purified cytosol proteins. Thus, contact between the two membranes is probably not necessary for this transfer. Implications for the movement of phospholipids between biological membranes are discussed.

Lipid Translocation

Translocation of membrane-bound labelled lipids from guinea pig liver microsomal to mitochondrial membranes was studied. When microsomal membranes containing known amounts and composition of spin-labelled radioactive lipids were incubated with unlabelled mitochondrial membranes, reisolated mitochondria contained spin- and radioactive-lipids in an amount which could not be accounted for by the microsomal contamination of reisolated mitochondria, establishing therefore the translocation of labelled lipids from microsomal to mitochondrial membranes. The effect of addition of crude 105 000 × g supernatant on the translocation was studied. The translocation of labelled lipids in aged membranes was also described. The rate of loss of paramagnetism in microsomal and reisolated mitochondrial membranes was measured and found to be different, supporting the conclusion that the translocation of labelled lipids between membranes took place. Data from these studies suggested that the translocation of labelled lipids of microsomal membranes to both outer and inner mitochondrial membranes probably occurred. Furthermore, our results suggest that the mechanism by which lipid translocation takes place does not necessarily involve soluble cytosol proteins. In view of experimental data, possible mechanisms for the translocation of lipids between biological membranes were discussed.

Intermembranous translocation of membrane-bound radioactive lipids covalently labelled with 5-, 12-, and 16-doxyl stearic acid was studied. Guinea pig liver microsomal membranes containing known amounts of isomeric spin-labelled radioactive phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylcholine, and diglycerides were incubated with unlabelled mitochondria; reisolated mitochondria contained around 28–31% of microsomal labelled lipids above the microsomal contamination. The effect of adding crude or'pH 5.1' 105 000 × g cytosol supernatant on the amount and composition of translocated labelled lipids was studied. While the translocation of labelled phosphatidylcholine was slightly stimulated by the addition of these cytosol supernatants, no significant increase of the amount of translocated labelled phosphatidic acid and diglycerides was observed by this addition. In view of these results, a probable mechanism for the cytosol protein-independent translocation of lipids between biological membranes is proposed.

The mechanism of cardiolipin (diphosphatidylglycerol) biosynthesis was examined in mitochondria and outer and inner mitochondrial membranes prepared from guinea pig and rat livers to determine whether this formation from phosphatidylglycerol was absolutely dependent on cytidinediphosphodiglyceride, as previously reported for intact mitochondria. Experimental results confirmed that the biosynthesis of cardiolipin, from the membrane-bound radioactive phosphatidylglycerol in intact mitochondria isolated from guinea pig and rat liver, was absolutely dependent on CDP-diglycerides and required the addition of divalent cations. Furthermore, the same mechanism for the biosynthesis of cardiolipin was operational in the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes. This biosynthesis was associated with both the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes prepared from guinea pig liver, but only with the inner mitochondrial membranes prepared from rat liver. The release of radioactive glycerol was also measured, but the amount obtained did not satisfy the stoichiometric requirement for CDP-diglyceride-independent biosynthesis of cardiolipin from 2 mol of phosphatidylglycerol with the liberation of 1 mol of glycerol. Therefore, it was concluded that this mechanism is not involved in the biosynthesis of cardiolipin in mitochondrial and submitochondrial membranes prepared from guinea pig and rat liver.Key words: mitochondria, outer mitochondrial membranes, inner mitochondrial membranes, cardiolipin, biosynthesis.

Translocation of membrane-bound isomeric (5-, 12-, and 16-doxyl) spin-labelled radioactive cytidinediphosphodiglycerides (CDP-diglycerides) from guinea pig liver microsomal membranes to mitochondrial membranes was studied. When microsomal membranes containing known amounts of isomeric spin-labelled radioactive CDP-diglycerides were incubated with unlabelled mitochondrial membranes, reisolated mitochondria contained labelled lipids in an amount which could not be accounted for by microsomal contamination, indicating that translocation of labelled CDP-diglycerides from microsomal to mitochondrial membranes had occurred. The rate of loss of paramagnetism in microsomal and in reisolated mitochondrial membranes was found to be different, supporting the conclusion that the translocation of labelled lipids between membranes took place. When reisolated mitochondria containing translocated isomeric spin-labelled radioactive CDP-diglycerides were further incubated with sn-3-glycerophosphate, the formation of labelled phosphatidylglycerol was detected. Data from these studies established that the translocation of labelled CDP-diglycerides from microsomal membranes to both outer and inner mitochondrial membranes had occurred.This study established that the isolated guinea pig liver mitochondria are capable of biosynthesis of polyglycerophosphatides (phosphatidylglycerolphosphate, phosphatidylglycerol, and diphosphatidylglycerol or cardiolipin) but depend on the microsomal supply of CDP-diglyceride, an obligatory precursor in the formation of polyglycerophosphatides. This liponucleotide can be translocated, as shown here, to outer and inner mitochondrial membranes for further biosynthetic utilization.

Spontaneous (protein independent) transfer of endogenously biosynthesized radioactive lipids (phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylcholine, and diglycerides) from isolated guinea pig liver microsomal to unlabeîled mitochondrial membranes was studied as a function of addition of ATP, duration of incubation, and protein concentration of microsomal and mitochondrial membranes. It was found that transfer of phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylcholine, and diglycerides was not absolutely dependent on addition of ATP, although its presence enhanced the transfer of phosphatidylcholine. The highest amount of transferred biosynthesized phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylcholine, and diglycerides was observed after a relatively short incubation and amounted to around one-third of all biosynthesized microsomal lipids, but decreased with increasing incubation time. With increasing concentrations of proteins of mitochondria, a significant decrease of transfer of radioactive lipids from microsomal membranes was established. The same tendency, although to a lesser degree, was established with increasing concentrations of microsomal proteins.These results, together with previously published experiments from this laboratory, were taken as the evidence for the transfer of membrane-bound biosynthesized phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylcholine, and diglycerides from isolated guinea pig liver microsomal to mitochondrial membranes, by a mechanism which involves a close contact between the membrane–donor and the membrane–acceptor. Mechanisms for lipid transfer in biological membranes and in model membranes (liposomes) were compared and discussed.

Guinea pig liver microsomal and mitochondrial membranes were degraded with phospholipase C and D followed by partial biosynthetic reconstitution. Activities of phosphatidylinositol synthetase in microsomal membranes and NADPH – cytochrome c reductase were almost completely lost after phospholipase C and D treatment; almost complete restoration of the original activity was achieved after biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine in degraded microsomes, but was not reparable after biosynthesis of cytidinediphosphodiglycerides (CDP-diglycerides). The mitochondrial biosynthesis of polyglycerophosphatides was completely retained after degradation of these membranes with phospholipase C, but after similar treatment with phospholipase D, only about one-quarter of the original activity remained, the relative composition of polyglycerophosphatides being significantly different. The activity of NADPH – cytochrome c reductase of microsomes represented about 76% of the originalactivity after phospholipase C treatment, but only ~1% after treatment with phospholipase D. Although this activity could not be restored with CDP-diglyceride synthesis, it was restored to about 75% of the original activity after the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine in these fragments. These and additional experimental findings are discussed in terms of the relation between structural organization of lipids and proteins and enzymatic activities of membrane-bound phospholipid-synthesizing enzymes in microsomal and mitochondrial membranes isolated from guinea pig liver.
