1. Nuclear, nuclear-envelope and microsomal preparations were prepared from rat liver, and their purity and morphology monitored by electron microscopy. 2. UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity in microsomal preparations, but not in standard nuclear or nuclear-envelope preparations, displays latency from the criterion of being enhanced ('activated') by a range of detergents or the endogenous activator UDP-N-acetyl-glucosamine. 3. Nuclear preparations resemble activated rather than native microsomal preparations in failing to transfer glucuronic acid from 4-nitrophenyl glucuronide to 2-aminophenol. 4. Electron microscopy indicates that membranes of nuclear preparations and of our standard nuclear-envelope preparations remain, as in vivo, in a cisternal arrangement, whereas those of microsomal preparations are vesiculated. 5. In nuclear-envelope preparations in which vesiculation has been encouraged, the transferase can be activated by detergents. 6. We suggest that latency of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase results from vesiculation of membranes during preparation and that the latency of the microsomal transferase is largely a preparative artefact.

Evidence from rat liver nuclear preparations that latency of microsomal UDP-glucuronosyltransferase is associated with vesiculation
