Abstract
1. 1. When added exogenously, both CDP- and dCDP-diglyceride supported diphosphatidylglycerol synthesis from phosphatidyl[1'-14C] glycerol in intact mitochondria. The maximum rate observed for CDP-diglyceride was about 2-fold greater than for dCDP-diglyceride. At optimal concentrations of CDP-diglyceride a 30-fold stimulation of diphosphatidylglycerol synthesis was observed.
2. 2. [14C] Glycerol was not formed
