Diphosphatidyl[1',2',3'-14C]glycerol (cardiolipin) is converted to bis(monoacylglyceryl)phosphate when incubated in vitro with rat lysosomes at pH 4.4. The stereochemical configuration of the product is unknown. This reaction probably takes place via lysophosphatidylglycerol, one of the major products of diphosphatidylglycerol hydrolysis by lysosomes. Phosphatidyl[1',2',3'- 14C]glycerol was introduced into mitochondrial membranes by incubating mitochondria with [U-14C]sn-glycerol-3-phosphate and cytidine diphosphate diacylglycerol. Membrane-bound phosphatidyl[1',2',3'- 14C]glycerol is also converted to bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate when incubated with lysosomes in a reaction that is dependent on the concentration of lysosomal protein and on incubation time. These results support our previous proposal (Poorthuis, B. J. H. M., and K. Y. Hostetler, 1976. J. Biol. Chem. 251: 4596-4602) that bis(monoacylglyceryl)phosphate formation may require the interaction of lysosomes with other membranes that contain the substrates for the reaction. The stereochemistry of bis(monoacylglyceryl)phosphate biosynthesis is discussed.
