Abstract

Incubation of rat adipose-tissue microsomal fractions with iodoacetate caused an inactivation of glycerol phosphate acyltransferase that could be prevented by the presence of palmitoyl-CoA. A microsomal protein of subunit Mr 54 000 was found to react with radioactively labelled iodoacetate in the absence, but not in the presence, of palmitoyl-CoA. It is suggested that this protein is a component of glycerol phosphate acyltransferase. Incubation of rat adipose-tissue microsomal fractions with the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, ATP and Mg2+ caused an inactivation of glycerol phosphate acyltransferase whose magnitude depended on the conditions used for assay of the acyltransferase. Rat adipose tissue microsomal proteins were phosphorylated by using protein kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP. One of the phosphorylated proteins was very similar, but not identical, in mobility to the Mr-54 000 protein labelled by iodoacetate. In contrast with a previous report [Sooranna & Saggerson (1976) FEBS Lett. 64, 36-39], no changes could be detected in the activity of glycerol phosphate acyltransferase in adipocytes treated with adrenaline. Adipocytes were labelled with [32P]Pi and treated with adrenaline, but no 32P was incorporated into the Mr-54000 protein labelled by iodoacetate. The results suggest that the activity of adipose-tissue microsomal glycerol phosphate acyltransferase is not directly controlled by phosphorylation.
