title: [The role of lipids in the regulation of ATP and PPi synthesis in mitochondria].
abstract: It was demonstrated previously that mitochondria of higher and lower eukaryotes can synthesize, in the course of oxidative phosphorylation, not only ATP but also inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi). Two PPases were isolated from bovine heart mitochondria (soluble--PPase I and membrane--PPase II). Coupling PPase II, in contrast to PPase I, contains phosphatidyl choline, but PPase I is lipidized readily in the presence of different phospholipids. Reconstitution experiments of the PPi synthesis system have shown that after lipidization PPase I is able to incorporate into submitochondrial particles (SMP) and becomes a coupling factor for oxidation and PPi synthesis. It seems that phospholipid is indispensible for incorporation into the membrane and the manifestation of the coupling activity of the enzyme. The effect of lipids on the activity of soluble and membrane-bound pyrophosphatase was studied. It is shown that PPase II phospholipid is involved in the regulation of the hydrolase activity of the isolated enzyme. However, hydrolysis of PPi by SMP and its synthesis by mitochondria are affected by cooperative rearrangements of the entire lipid component of the membrane rather than by changes in the phase state of phosphatidyl choline contained in PPase II. An opposite response of ATP and PPi synthesis to changes in viscosity makes it likely that the viscosity of the mitochondrial inner membrane may control the levelling of these two processes in mitochondria.
