Abstract: | Phosphatidyl glycerol is present in lamellar bodies and in the material obtained by alveolar wash representing 12.3 and 11.5%, respectively, of the total phospholipid phosphorus. Lung microsomes catalyze the formation of phosphatidyl glycerol from the known precursors, L-glycerol 3-phosphate and CDP-diglyceride. The rate of [14C]L-glycerol 3-phosphate incorporation into phosphatidyl glycerol was 30% higher in microsomes as compared to mitochondria. The addition of mercuric chloride inhibited the synthesis of phosphatidyl glycerol, and stimulated the incorporation into another as yet incompletely identified lipid. After pulse labeling of microsomal phosphatidyl glycerol , further incubation of microsomes with lamellar bodies or alveolar wash resulted in nearly quantitative appearance of label in surfactant. |
