We enriched liver microsomes in lipid classes and molecular species disrupting membranes with octyl glucoside and reassembling them by detergent removal.

Abstract

We enriched liver microsomes in lipid classes and molecular species disrupting membranes with octyl glucoside and reassembling them by detergent removal. Phosphatidylethanolamine incorporated into membranes better than phosphatidylserine or phosphatidylcholine. In addition, the degree of incorporation depended on the unsaturation of fatty acyl-chains. The enrichment of the membranes with phosphatidylserine or phosphatidylcholine inhibited serine base-exchange, whereas the addition of phosphatidylethanolamine usually stimulated it. The effect of exogenous lipids also depended on molecular species; egg yolk phosphatidylcholine and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine inhibited base-exchange whereas the effect of palmitoyl-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine depended on the incorporated amount. The degree of unsaturation also modulated the effect of phosphatidylethanolamine.
