Cardiolipin is a major mitochondrial membrane glycerophospholipid in the mammalian heart. In this study, the ability of the isolated intact rat heart to remodel cardiolipin and the mitochondrial enzyme activities that reacylate monolysocardiolipin to cardiolipin in vitro were characterized. Adult rat heart cardiolipin was found to contain primarily linoleic and oleic acids. Perfusion of the isolated intact rat heart in the Langendorff mode with various radioactive fatty acids, followed by analysis of radioactivity incorporated into cardiolipin and its immediate precursor phosphatidylglycerol, indicated that unsaturated fatty acids entered into cardiolipin mainly by deacylation followed by reacylation. The in vitro mitochondrial acylation of monolysocardiolipin to cardiolipin was coenzyme A-dependent with a pH optimum in the alkaline range. Significant activity was also present at physiological pH. With oleoyl-coenzyme A as substrate, the apparent Km for oleoyl-coenzyme A and monolysocardiolipin were 12.5 µM and 138.9 µM, respectively. With linoleoyl-coenzyme A as substrate, the apparent Km for linoleoyl-coenzyme A and monolysocardiolipin were 6.7 µM and 59.9 µM, respectively. Pre-incubation at 50°C resulted in different profiles of enzyme inactivation for the two activities. Both activities were affected similarly by phospholipids, triacsin C, and various lipid binding proteins but were affected differently by various detergents and myristoyl-coenzyme A. [3H]cardiolipin was not formed from monolyso[3H]cardiolipin in the absence of acyl-coenzyme A. Monolysocardiolipin acyltransferase activities were observed in mitochondria prepared from various other rat tissues.

In summary, the data suggest that the isolated intact rat heart has the ability to rapidly remodel cardiolipin and that rat heart mitochondria contain coenzyme A-dependent acyltransferase(s) for the acylation of monolysocardiolipin to cardiolipin. A simple and reproducible in vitro assay for the determination of acyl-coenzyme A- dependent monolysocardiolipin acyltransferase activity in mammalian tissues with exogenous monolysocardiolipin substrate is also presented.—Ma, B. J., W. A. Taylor, V. W. Dolinsky, and G. M. Hatch. Acylation of monolysocardiolipin in rat heart. J. Lipid Res. 1999. 40: 1837;–1845.

Supplementary key words: cardiolipin, heart, monolysocardiolipin, acyltransferase
