Abstract

The microsomal phosphatidate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.4) in maturing seeds of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) was specific and selective for unsaturated phosphatidates. The relative order of specificity for phosphatidate molecular species was 1,2-dilinoleoyl = 1,2-dioleoyl > 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl > 1,2-dilauroyl = 1,2-dimyristoyl > 1,2-dipalmitoyl. The order of selectivity was similar to that of the specificity. The broad selectivity for unsaturated phosphatidate species (1,2-di-unsaturated-acyl and 1-saturated-acyl-2-unsaturatedacyl) led us to conclude that the phosphatidate-phosphatase reaction does not, or only very little, affect the fatty-acid composition of the diacylglycerol product and in turn the fatty-acid composition of triacylglycerol in safflower oil. As compared with the safflower microsomal enzyme, the chloroplast phosphatidate phosphatase of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaves showed a broader specificity. This agreed with the selectivity profile indicated by labelling patterns of phosphatidate and diacylglycerol synthesized from [(14)C]acetate in spinach chloroplasts (S.E. Gardiner et al. 1984, Biochem. J. 224, 637-643).
