| Popis: | Cardiolipin derivatives retaining the free hydroxyl on the polar head group were synthesized. With the use of a tetrahydropyranyl ether to protect this hydroxyl, fatty acyl substitutions were made at both of the 2-positions of cardiolipin (CL). The disubstituted derivatives were obtained in high yields. The stimulation of delipidated cytochrome c oxidase activity shows a hyperbolic dependence on the concentration of these CL derivatives. Both activation parameters, the apparent dissociation constant (Kd,app) and the maximum change in molecular activity (delta Actmax), depend on the chain length of the tails, with less dependence on the degree of saturation. Natural CL (92% C18:2, 8% C18:1) and CL disubstituted with oleic acid (47% C18:2, 52% C18:1) were equally effective at stimulating cytochrome c oxidase activity, with an apparent dissociation constant of approximately 1 microM when incubated in 0.3% Triton X-100 and assayed in lauryl maltoside. CL disubstituted with hexanoic acid, however, is a poorer activator, with an apparent dissociation constant of 6.8 microM and a delta Actmax that is 50% of that achieved with natural CL. Dilysocardiolipin, with complete removal of two of the fatty acid tails, shows negligible stimulation of cytochrome c oxidase activity. |
