Interrelationships between the catalytic behavior of glucose-6-phosphatase and the structure of rat-liver microsomal membranes were investigated. 2. Rabbit anti-microsomal serum completely inhibited glucose-6-phosphate hydrolysis in detergent-modified microsomes but showed no inhibitory effect on the enzyme activity of intact or mechanically disrupted vesicles. 2. Controlled proteolysis of intact microsomes using carboxypeptidase A and/or aminopeptidase M largely denatured enzymes situated on the outer surface of the microsomal vesicles such as monodehydroascorbate reductase and cytochrome c reductase. However, it did not affect the glucose-6-phosphatase activity at all, which remained in a latent state within the membrane. 3. Temperature studies on glucose-6-phosphatase have revealed that only the enzyme activity of intact microsomes exhibited a nonlinear Arrhenius plot, whereas detergent-modified microsomes showed a linear temperature response. 4. Treatment of microsomes with phospholipase C and toluene-2,4-diisocyanate resulted in an apparent loss of about 65% and 85% of the original glucose-6-phosphatase activity and was closely correlated with hydrolysis and chemical modification of phosphatidylethanolamine, respectively. These apparent inactivations could be reversed by addition of Triton X-114 alone without any phospholipid supplementation. These observations indicate that glucose-6-phosphatase is buried within the microsomal membrane, not exposed on either side. They also suggest that phospholipids are involved in the glucose-6-phosphate transport mechanism.

A combination of two enzymes, phospholipase D (PL D) and C (PL C), was investigated for the production of two lysophospholipids, 1-lauroyl-rac-glycerophosphate (1-LGP) and 1-lauroyl-dihydroxyacetonephosphate (1-LDHAP). The high transphosphatidylation ability of phospholipase D from Streptomyces sp. allowed the formation of 1-lauroyl-phosphatidylglycerol (1-LPG) and 1-lauroyl-phosphatidyldihydroxyacetone (1-LPDHA) from phosphatidylcholine (PC) and 1-monolauroyl-rac-glycerol (1-MLG) and 1-lauroyl-dihydroxyacetone (1-MDHA), respectively. A two-phase system, diethyl ether/water, was chosen for the convenience of the recovery of the water insoluble products. A similar two-phase system was used for hydrolysis of the complex phospholipids by phospholipase C form Bacillus cereus, which released both lysophospholipids. Only trace amounts of phosphatidic acid (PA) were detected showing that the enzyme is highly selective for the release of the diacylglycerol and 1-lauroyl-rac-glycerophosphate and 1-lauroyl-dihydroxyacetonephosphate.
