  • Title: [Effects of lipids on the activity of soluble mitochondrial pyrophosphatase and its conversion to the membrane-bound form].

    Abstract:
    The effects of lipids on the activity of soluble and membrane-bound pyrophosphatase from beef heart mitochondria were studied. An addition of total mitochondrial lipid, phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine or cardiolipin resulted in stimulation of the enzymatic activity and an increase in thermal stability of the soluble enzyme. The maximal activating effect was exerted by the total mitochondrial lipid and phosphatidyl choline. The electrophoretic data suggest that phosphatidyl choline is a component of membrane pyrophosphatase. Preincubation of the soluble enzyme with phosphatidyl choline converted the enzyme into a membrane form, which is capable to carry out the energy-dependent synthesis of PPi in submitochondrial particles.
