The translocation of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase between the cytosol and the microsomal membranes was investigated by using a cell-free system from rat liver. Linoleate, α-linolenate, arachidonate and eicosapentenoate promoted the translocation to membranes with a similar potency to that of oleate. The phosphohydrolase that associated with the membranes in the presence of [14C]oleate or 1mM-spermine coincided on Percoll gradients with the peak of rotenone-insensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase, and in the former case with a peak of 14C. Microsomal membranes were enriched with the phosphohydrolase activity by incubation with [14C]oleate or spermine and then incubated with albumin. The phosphohydrolase activity was displaced from the membranes by albumin, and this paralleled the removal of [14C]oleate from the membranes when this acid was present. Chlorpromazine also displaced phosphatidate phosphohydrolase from the membranes, but it did not displace [14C]oleate. The effects of spermine in promoting the association of the phosphohydrolase with the membranes was inhibited by ATP, GTP, CTP, AMP and phosphate. ATP at the same concentration did not antagonize the translocating effect of oleate. From these results and previous work, it was concluded that the binding of long-chain fatty acids and their CoA esters to the endoplasmic reticulum acts as a signal for more phosphatidate phosphohydrolase to associate with these membranes and thereby to enhance the synthesis of glycerolipids, especially triacylglycerol. The translocation of the phosphohydrolase probably depends on the increased negative charge on the membranes, which could also be donated by the accumulation of phosphatidate. Chlorpromazine could oppose the translocation by donating a positive charge to the membranes.

The temperature dependence and specificity of transfer of membrane constituents from donor transitional endoplasmic reticulum to the cis Golgi apparatus were investigated using a cell-free system from rat liver. The radiolabelled transitional endoplasmic reticulum donors were prepared from slices of rat liver prelabelled with [14C]leucine. The acceptor Golgi apparatus elements were unlabelled and immobilized on nitrocellulose. When Golgi apparatus stacks were separated by preparative free-flow electrophoresis into subfractions enriched in cisternae derived from the cis, medial and trans portions of the stack respectively, efficient specific transfer was observed only to cis elements. Trans elements were devoid of specific acceptor capacity. Similarly, when transfer was determined as a function of temperature, a transition was observed in transfer activity between 12 degrees C and 18 degrees C similar to that seen in vivo for formation of the so-called 16 degrees C cis Golgi-located membrane compartment. Transfer at temperatures below 16 degrees C and transfer to trans Golgi apparatus compartments at temperatures either above or below 16 degrees C was similar and unspecific. The unspecific transfer at low temperature was pH independent, whereas specific transfer was greatest at the physiological pH of 7, and was reduced to 10% and 18% of that occurring at pH 8 and pH 5.5 respectively. These findings show that the cell-free system derived from rat liver exhibits a high degree of fidelity to transfer in vivo, an efficiency approaching that observed in vivo, and a nearly absolute acceptor specificity for cis Golgi apparatus. The acceptor-, temperature- and pH-specificity of the cell-free transfer, as well as the saturation kinetics exhibited with respect to acceptor Golgi apparatus, support the concept of transition-vesicle-specific docking sites of finite number associated with cis Golgi apparatus cisternae.

The subcellular distribution and characteristics of trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA synthetase were studied in rat liver and were compared with those of palmitoyl-CoA synthetase and choloyl-CoA synthetase. Trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA synthetase and choloyl-CoA synthetase were localized almost completely in the endoplasmic reticulum. A quantitatively insignificant part of trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA synthetase was perhaps present in mitochondria. Peroxisomes, which convert trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA into choloyl-CoA, were devoid of trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA synthetase. As already known, palmitoyl-CoA synthetase was distributed among mitochondria, peroxisomes and endoplasmic reticulum. Substrate- and cofactor- (ATP, CoASH) dependence of the three synthesis activities were also studied. Cholic acid and trihydroxycoprostanic acid did not inhibit palmitoyl-CoA synthetase; palmitate inhibited the other synthetases non-competitively. Likewise, cholic acid inhibited trihydroxycoprostanic acid activation non-competitively and vice versa. The pH curves of the synthetases did not coincide. Triton X-100 affected the activity of each of the synthetases differently. Trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA synthetase was less sensitive towards inhibition by pyrophosphate than choloyl-CoA synthetase. The synthetases could not be solubilized from microsomal membranes by treatment with 1 M-NaCl, but could be solubilized with Triton X-100 or Triton X-100 plus NaCl. The detergent-solubilized trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA synthetase could be separated from the solubilized choloyl-CoA synthetase and palmitoyl-CoA synthetase by affinity chromatograpy on Sepharose to which trihydroxycoprostanic acid was bound. Choloyl-CoA synthetase and trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA synthetase could not be detected in homogenates from kidney or intestinal mucosa. The results indicate that long-chain fatty acids, cholic acid and trihydroxycoprostanic acid are activated by three separate enzymes.

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.
