RESUMO
The enzymatic incorporation of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate into lipid by extracts of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) cotyledons showed an absolute requirement for ATP (saturation 2 mM). The incorporation was stimulated 4-fold by 0.2 mM oleate. Ethyldiaminetetraacetate stimulated the incorporation at concentrations below 1 mM and inhibited at higher concentrations. Mg2+ did not affect the reaction. Triton X-100 and Cutscum inhibited the reaction, while a third detergent, Span 80, was stimulatory. p-Mercuribenzoate was inhibitory. The enzymatic reaction has a pH optimum in the range of 8.8 to 9.6. The Michaelis constant was 112 μM for sn-glycerol 3-phosphate. The major amount of product was phosphatidic acid, the remainder was diacylglycerol, monoacylglycerol, and an unknown phospholipid.
