The biosynthesis of radioactively labelled phosphatidylglycerol via phosphatidylglycerophosphate in outer and inner mitochondrial membranes isolated from guinea pig liver was found to depend absolutely on CDP-diglycerides, which could not be biosynthesized in these membranes. The requirement for CDP-diglycerides in the biosynthesis of labelled phosphatidylglycerol could be fulfilled by the transfer of biosynthesized [3H]CDP-diglycerides from the microsomal membranes to the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes.
