Through kinetic analysis, the relationships between the glucose-6-phosphatase system and constituent phospholipids were studied in rat liver microsomes. When phosphoglycerides such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine on the microsomal membrane were hydrolyzed by phospholipase C of C. perfringens, the activities of glucose-6-P phosphohydrolase and glucose-6-P:glucose phosphotransferase both decreased with or without subsequent exposure to taurocholate. In these cases, the Michaelis constants (Km) for glucose-6-P were increased, concomitant with the decrease in the maximal velocities (Vmax) for glucose-6-P hydrolysis. On exposure to taurocholate, the apparent Km for glucose of phosphotransferase was decreased. When phosphatidylinositol was hydrolyzed by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C of B. thuringiensis, the activities of phosphohydrolase and phosphotransferase were both decreased on exposure to taurocholate. In this case, the value of Vmax of phosphohydrolase was decreased and that of Km for glucose-6-P was slightly decreased, while the apparent Km for glucose of phosphotransferase was increased. Without exposure to detergent, the activities of phosphohydrolase and phosphotransferase both decreased at glucose-6-P concentrations higher than 10 mM. However, at a concentration lower than 1 mM, the activity of phosphohydrolase became higher than that of the control, and Vmax and Km for glucose-6-P were decreased. A similar tendency was also observed in microsomes where membranous phosphatidylinositol was hydrolyzed, when they were treated with DIDS (an anion-transport inhibitor). From these results, it is concluded that the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase is greatly influenced by changes of the phospholipids on the microsomal membrane, and the activity of glucose-6-P translocase is stimulated by the breakdown of phosphatidylinositol.
