Biogenesis of mitchondria. Phospholipid synthesis in vitro by yeast mitochondrial and microsomal fractions.
The ability in vitro of yeast mitochondrial and microsomal fractions to synthesize lipid de novo was measured. The major phospholipids synthesized from sn-[2-(3)H]glycerol 3-phosphate by the two microsomal fractions were phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidic acid. The mitochondrial fraction, which had a higher specific activity for total glycerolipid synthesis, synthesized phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid, together with smaller amounts of neutral lipids and diphosphatidylglycerol. Phosphatidylcholine synthesis from both S-adenosyl[Me-(14)C]methionine and CDP-[Me-(14)C]choline appeared to be localized in the microsomal fraction.
