Newly made phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine are preferentially translocated between rat liver mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum

JE Vance
Lipid and Lipoprotein Group, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.

The translocation of: (i) phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) from its site of synthesis on microsomal membranes to its site decarboxylation in mitochondrial membranes and (ii) phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) from the mitochondria to its site of methylation to phosphatidylcholine on microsomal membranes has been reconstituted in cell-free systems consisting of rat liver mitochondria and microsomes. Two types of systems have been reconstituted. In one, the translocation of newly made PtdSer or PtdEtn was examined by incubation of microsomes and mitochondria with [3-3H]serine. In the other, membranes were prelabeled with radioactive PtdSer or PtdEtn, and the transfer of these two lipids between mitochondria and microsomes was monitored. For the transfer of both PtdSer from microsomes to mitochondria and PtdEtn from mitochondria to microsomes, newly made phospholipids were translocated much more readily than pre-existing phospholipids. The data suggest that with respect to their translocation between these two organelles, the pools of newly synthesized PtdSer and PtdEtn were distinct from the pools of "older" phospholipids pre-existing in the membranes. Transfer of neither phospholipid in vitro depended on the presence of cytosolic proteins (i.e. soluble phospholipid transfer proteins) or on the hydrolysis of ATP, although there was some stimulation of PtdSer transfer by ATP and several other nucleoside mono-, di-, and triphosphates. The data are consistent with a collision-based mechanism in which the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria come into contact with one another, thereby effecting the transfer of phospholipids. The proposal that there is contact between the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria is supported by the recent isolation of a membrane fraction having many, but not all, of the properties of the endoplasmic reticulum, but which was isolated in association with mitochondria (Vance, J. E. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 7248-7256).
