Age-related alterations in membrane lipid and protein interactions: Arrhenius studies of microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase. 1977

L S Grinna

Arrhenius plots of glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) activity in liver microsomes from 6-month-old rats (young) showed discontinuities at 39, 30, 20 and 12 degrees C and change in activation energy at 20 degrees C. The enzyme activity in kidney microsomes of young rats showed essentially the same thermal discontinuities. In liver microsomes of 24-month-old rats (old) the enzyme showed discontinuities at 38, 30, 24 and 16 degrees C but not at 12 degrees C and the activation energy changed at 24 degrees C. In kidney microsomes of old rats discontinuities were seen at 38, 31, 22, 16 and 12 degrees C and the activation energy was constant from 0 to 41 degrees C. These results indicate that the interactions of membrane components are altered with age.

D008563 Membrane Lipids Lipids, predominantly phospholipids, cholesterol and small amounts of glycolipids found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. These lipids may be arranged in bilayers in the membranes with integral proteins between the layers and peripheral proteins attached to the outside. Membrane lipids are required for active transport, several enzymatic activities and membrane formation.

D008861 Microsomes Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction.
