The effect of modulation of the content of unsaturated free fatty acids on GTP-dependent fusion of stripped rough microsomes from rat liver was determined. Cytidine monophosphate, CDP and CTP were all observed to be able to stimulate free fatty acid accumulation and coincident membrane fusion. GTP was required for membrane fusion in the presence of cytidine nucleotide but was not required for free fatty acid accumulation. In the presence of GTP and cytidine nucleotide, the addition of ATP and CoA led to the synthesis of triacyglycerol and marked inhibition of both free fatty acid accumulation and membrane fusion. Delipidated bovine serum albumin also inhibited both free fatty acid accumulation and membrane fusion. Analysis by gas chromatography indicated that linoleic acid and arachidonic acid were the most actively fluctuating of the accumulated free fatty acids. Comparison by quantitation indicated a high correlation between GTP-dependent membrane fusion and changes in amount of unesterified linoleic acid and arachidonic acid. The results suggest that polyunsaturated free fatty acids may be required for GTP-dependent membrane fusion.
