title: Effect of treatment of isolated mitochondrial membranes with phosphatidylinositol-cholesterol liposomes on the biosynthesis and composition of polyglycerophosphatides.
abstract: Interaction between mitochondria isolated from rat liver and [14C]phosphatidylinositol-cholesterol (2:1 molar ratio) liposomes was studied by following the level of biosynthesis and the composition of mitochondrial [3H]polyglycerophosphatides. After treatment with liposomes, biosynthesis decreased by about 30 per cent and there was a three-fold increase in biosynthesized [3H]phosphatidylglycerolphosphate. The effect of adding proteoliposomes (consisting of mitochondrial protein and liposomes) to mitochondria that had previously been treated with liposomes was also studied in respect to the composition of [3H]polyglycerophosphatides. The results are discussed in relation to the biological membrane-liposome interaction.
