    Abstract:
    The effect of 1-cyclohexyl-3-(2-morpholinoethyl)carbodiimide (CMC) on the reactions catalyzed by the glucose-6-phosphatase system of rat liver microsomes was studied. Modification of the intact microsomes by CMC leads to the inhibition of the glucose-6-phosphatase, pyrophosphate:glucose and carbamoyl-phosphate : glucose phosphotransferase activities of the system. The activities are restored by the disruption of the microsomal permeability barrier. The mannose-6-phosphate, pyrophosphate, and carbamoyl-phosphate phosphohydrolase activities of the intact as well as the disrupted microsomes were not affected by CMC. It follows from the results obtained that CMC inactivates the microsomal glucose-6-phosphate translocase, the inactivation is a result of the modification of a single sulfhydryl or amino group of the translocase; pyrophosphate, carbamoyl phosphate and inorganic phosphate are transported across the microsomal membrane without participation of the glucose-6-phosphate translocase; pyrophosphate and carbamoyl phosphate may act as the phosphate donors in the glucose phosphorylation reactions in vivo.
