The role of thiols of the outer and the inner membranes of mitochondria in the regulation of generation of reactive oxygen
species (ROS) has been studied. It was found that N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), which penetrates through the mitochondrial membrane and binds thiols to form thioesters, at concentrations
from 20 to 250 μM activates the production of superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide during the oxidation of the substrates
of complexes I and II of the respiratory chain. 5′,5′-Dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate) (DTNB), which does not penetrate into mitochondria
and binds thiols to form disulfides, weakly activates hydrogen peroxide production during the oxidation of NAD-dependent substrates
and inhibits the ROS production upon succinate oxidation. DTNB is particularly effective in inhibiting the menadione-induced
formation of ROS. The differences in the ROS formation by these reagents are explained by the fact that they influence different
thiol-containing proteins and enzymes. As distinct from NEM, which inhibits complex I of the respiratory chain, DTNB has no
effect on the respiratory chain of mitochondria but can bind the SH-groups of NADH-quinone oxidoreductase, which is localized
in the outer mitochondrial membrane and participates in the redox cycle of menadione. It was also shown that the ability to
inhibit the ADP-stimulated respiration, a feature inherent in both reagents, does not significantly contribute to ROS production. 相似文献

1. The CoA and carnitine esters of 2-bromopalmitate are extremely powerful and specific inhibitors of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. 2. 2-Bromopalmitoyl-CoA, added as such or formed from 2-bromopalmitate, inhibits the carnitine-dependent oxidation of palmitate or palmitoyl-CoA, but not the oxidation of palmitoylcarnitine, by intact liver mitochondria. 3. 2-Bromopalmitoylcarnitine inhibits the oxidation of palmitoylcarnitine as well as that of palmitate or palmitoyl-CoA. It has no effect on succinate oxidation, but inhibits that of pyruvate, 2-oxoglutarate or hexanoate; however, the oxidation of these substrates (but not of palmitate, palmitoyl-CoA or palmitoyl-carnitine) is restored by carnitine. 4. In damaged mitochondria, added 2-bromopalmitoyl-CoA does inhibit palmitoylcarnitine oxidation; pyruvate oxidation is unaffected by the inhibitor alone, but is impaired if palmitoylcarnitine is subsequently added. 5. The findings have been interpreted as follows. 2-Bromopalmitoyl-CoA inactivates (in a carnitine-dependent manner) a pool of carnitine palmitoyltransferase which is accessible to external acyl-CoA. This results in inhibition of palmitate or palmitoyl-CoA oxidation. A second pool of carnitine palmitoyltransferase, inaccessible to added acyl-CoA in intact mitochondria, can generate bromopalmitoyl-CoA within the matrix from external 2-bromopalmitoylcarnitine; this reaction is reversible. Such internal 2-bromopalmitoyl-CoA inactivates long-chain beta-oxidation (as does added 2-bromopalmitoyl-CoA if the mitochondria are damaged) and its formation also sequesters intramitochondrial CoA. Since this CoA is shared by pyruvate and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenases, the oxidation of their substrates is depressed by 2-bromopalmitoylcarnitine, unless free carnitine is available to act as a ;sink' for long-chain acyl groups. 6. These effects are compared with those reported for other inhibitors of fatty acid oxidation. 相似文献

The adsorption of Ca 2+ to the mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated and it was found that, in contrast with animal mitochondria, Ca 2+ is not accumulated through an energydependent process but is more probably adsorbed to mitochondrial membranes. The adsorption
magnitude depends both on the amount of added calcium and on the ionic composition of the medium. It was found by study of
the effect of divalent cations on the respiratory activity of yeast mitochondria that (a) Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ inhibit their oxidation competitively with succinate or citrate, the oxidation of NADH not being affected; (b) stimulation
of oxidation of NADH and inhibition of oxidation of citrate and succinate may be observed with Ca 2+ in the mitochondria of Torulopsis utilis and with Co 2+ in the mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae; (c) Zn 2+ inhibits the oxidation of NADH and of citrate; (d) the rate of oxidation of NADH in the presence of Cd 2+ is several-fold greater than State 3 activity—on the other hand, oxidation of suceinate and citrate is inhibited by cadmium.
In comparison with animal mitochondria, the fate of Ca 2+ as well as the effects of other divalent cations on the respiratory activity of yeast mitochondria are different. 相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of amrinone, a drug known to augment cardiac output and dilate peripheral vascular beds, on diaphragm blood flow. Studies were performed on 12 anesthetized mechanically ventilated dogs in which strips of left costal diaphragm were developed in situ. Strip blood flow was assessed with a drop counter attached to a catheter tied into the phrenic veins' draining strips. Strip tension was measured with an isometric force transducer. Amrinone was administered as an intravenous bolus of 2 mg/kg followed by a continuous infusion of 25 micrograms.kg-1.min-1. Amrinone increased cardiac output and resting diaphragm blood flow [from 1.8 +/- 0.1 to 3.2 +/- 3 (SE) l/min and from 13 +/- 2 to 29 +/- 6 (SE) ml.100 g-1.min-1, respectively, P less than 0.001 for both comparisons]. Amrinone also increased blood flow during periods of rhythmic contraction (tension time indexes of 0.1-0.4, P less than 0.05 for comparisons of flow with and without amrinone at each tension time index) and increased the magnitude of the postcontraction hyperemia (P less than 0.02 for comparisons of hyperemic flow with and without amrinone at tension time indexes of 0.3 and 0.4). Graded occlusion of the inferior vena cava produced reductions in arterial pressure, cardiac output, and diaphragm blood flow both before and after amrinone. Both cardiac output and diaphragm blood flow were greater after amrinone, however, at all levels of blood pressure examined. These findings indicate that amrinone can override diaphragm vasoregulatory systems and augment diaphragm blood flow.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

It has been found that amytal competitively inhibits succinate (+ rotenone) oxidation by intact uncoupled mitochondria. Similar results were obtained in metabolic state 3, the Ki value being 0.45 mM. Amytal did not effect succinate oxidation by broken mitochondria and submitochondrial particles (at a concentration which inhibited succinate oxidation by intact mitochondria). Amytal inhibited the swelling of mitochondria suspended in ammonium succinate or ammonium malate but was without effect on the swelling of mitochondria in ammonium phosphate and potassium phosphate in the presence of valinomycin+carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone.Using [ 14C] succinate and [ 14C] citrate it has been shown that amytal inhibited the succinate/succinate, succinate/P i, succinate/malate, and citrate/citrate and citrate/malate exchanges. Amytal inhibited P i transport across mitochondrial membrane only if preincubated with mitochondria. Other barbiturates: phenobarbital, dial, veronal were found to inhibit [ 14C]succinate/anion (P i, succinate, malonate, malate) exchange reactions in a manner similar to amytal. It is concluded that barbiturates non-specifically inhibit the dicarboxylate carrier system, tricarboxylate carrier and P i translocator. It is postulated that the inhibition of succinate oxidation by barbiturates is caused mainly by the inhibition of succinate and P i translocation across the mitochondrial membrane. 相似文献

The acute effect of the hypolipidemic agent bezafibrate on fatty acid oxidation was studied in rat hepatocytes and mitochondria. Bezafibrate caused a concentration-related inhibition of oleate oxidation in liver cells. In mitochondria bezafibrate inhibited the oxidation of palmitoyl CoA but had no effect on palmitoylcarnitine oxidation, suggesting the site of inhibition was the formation of the carnitine derivative. Bezafibrate and bezafibroyl CoA inhibited the overt carnitine palmitoyltransferase (I) in rat liver mitochondria with comparable potency but with distinct kinetics. The inhibition caused by bezafibrate was not prevented by omission of Mg++-ATP from the assay mixture, indicating activation of bezafibrate to bezafibroyl CoA was not required for inhibition. The data demonstrate that bezafibrate, like several other peroxisome proliferating agents, inhibits mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in rat liver. The inhibition may be relevant to the mechanism of peroxisome proliferation. 相似文献

The effect of mersalyl, an inhibitor of phosphate transport across the inner mitochondrial membrane, was investigated on the uncoupled respiration of pig kidney mitochondria in the presence of glutamine as substrate and on the activity of the phosphate-dependent glutaminase in the intact organelles. In addition, the submitochondrial location of the enzyme was reinvestigated. 1. (1) It was found that mersalyl completely inhibits uncoupled respiration of the mitochondria in the presence of glutamine as substrate, whereas respiration with glutamate was not affected. The same amount of mersalyl which inhibits coupled oxidation of glutamine also inhibits coupled oxidation of glutamate and some other substrates. 2. (2) Mersalyl strongly inhibited the activation of glutaminase in intact mitochondria only in the presence of inhibitors of electron transport or of an uncoupler. The addition of a detergent prevented or fully released the inhibition. The effect of mersalyl was observed even when the mitochondria were pre-incubated with phosphate or incubated in the phosphate-free medium. If mersalyl and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) were added 3 min after pre-incubation with phosphate the same intramitochondrial concentration of the anion as in control experiments was found, whereas the activity of glutaminase was severely inhibited. These findings suggest that the activation of the enzyme by phosphate in intact nonenergized mitochondria occurs only if the activator moves across the inner mitochondrial membrane. 3. (3) Mersalyl (plus CCCP) markedly decreased [14C]glutamine- and [32P]-phosphate-permeable mitochondrial spaces. A close correlation between the decrease of phosphate and glutamine permeable spaces and the inhibition of glutaminase activity was found. 4. (4) If the activation energy of the enzyme was determined with frozen mitochondrial preparations, a discontinuity or break in the Arrhenius plot was observed, whereas the presence of a detergent completely abolished the break. Digitonin or ultrasonic treatment of the mitochondria followed by separation of the membrane and the soluble fraction revealed that glutaminase is a membrane-bound enzyme.
On the basis of these findings it is concluded that there is an association between the transport of phosphate on one side and the transport of glutamine and glutaminase activity on the other. It is possible that the movement of phosphate across the membrane activates the enzyme which facilitates diffusion of glutamine down a concentration gradient. However, the existence of a specific glutamine-phosphate carrier is not ruled out. 相似文献

The effects of 2-mercaptoacetate on the respiration rates induced by different substrates were studied in vitro in isolated liver mitochondria. With palmitoyl-L-carnitine or 2-oxoglutarate as the substrate, the ADP-stimulated respiration (State 3) was dose-dependently inhibited by 2-mercaptoacetate. with glutamate or succinate as the substrate. State-3 respiration was only slightly inhibited by 2-mercaptoacetate. In contrast, the oxidation rate of 3-hydroxybutyrate was competitively inhibited by 2-mercaptoacetate in both isolated mitochondria and submitochondrial particles. In uncoupled mitochondria and in mitochondria in which ATP- and GTP-dependent acyl-CoA biosynthesis was inhibited, the inhibitory effect of 2-mercaptoacetate on palmitoyl-L-carnitine oxidation was abolished; under the same conditions, however, inhibition of 3-hydroxybutyrate oxidation by 2-mercaptoacetate still persisted. These results led to the following conclusions: 2-mercaptoacetate itself enters the mitochondrial matrix, inhibits fatty acid oxidation through a mechanism requiring an energy-dependent activation of 2-mercaptoacetate and itself inhibits 3-hydroxybutyrate oxidation through a competitive inhibition of the membrane-bound 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase. This study also strongly suggests that the compound responsible for the inhibition of fatty acid oxidation is 2-mercaptoacetyl-CoA. 相似文献

(1) The optimum pH for the oxidation of exogenous NADH by mitochondria from both Jerusalem artichoke ( Helianthus tuberosus) tubers and Arum maculatum spadices was 7.0–7.1. NADPH oxidation had a lower optimum pH of 6.6 in Arum and 6.0 in Jerusalem artichoke mitochondria. In both types of mitochondria the rates of NADH and NADPH oxidation were identical below pH 6.0–5.5. (2) It is shown conclusively that neither a phosphatase converting NADPH to NADH nor a nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase was involved in the oxidation of NADPH by these mitochondria. (3) Palmitoyl-CoA, an inhibitor of transhydrogenase activity in mammalian mitochondria, inhibits both NADH and NADPH oxidation by plant mitochondria with a Ki of about 10 μM. (4) It is concluded that the known properties of NAD(P)H oxidation are best explained by assuming the presence of a second dehydrogenase specific for NADPH. At low pH, electron flow from the two dehydrogenases to oxygen shares a common rate-limiting step. 相似文献

1. The synthesis of pent-4-enoyl-l-carnitine, cyclopropanecarbonyl-l-carnitine and cyclobutanecarbonyl-l-carnitine is described. 2. Pent-4-enoate strongly inhibits palmitoyl-l-carnitine oxidation in coupled but not in uncoupled mitochondria. Pent-4-enoyl-l-carnitine strongly inhibits palmitoyl-l-carnitine oxidation in uncoupled mitochondria. Prior intramitochondrial formation of pent-4-enoyl-CoA is therefore necessary for inhibition. 3. There was a small self-limiting pulse of oxidation of pent-4-enoyl-l-carnitine during which the ability to inhibit the oxidation of subsequently added palmitoyl-l-carnitine developed. 4. Pent-4-enoate and pent-4-enoyl-l-carnitine are equally effective inhibitors of the oxidation of all even-chain acylcarnitines of chain length C(4)-C(16). Pent-4-enoyl-l-carnitine also inhibits the oxidation of pyruvate and of 2-oxoglutarate. 5. Pent-4-enoate strongly inhibits the oxidation of palmitate but not that of octanoate. This is presumably due to competition between octanoate and pent-4-enoate for medium-chain acyl-CoA ligase. 6. There was less inhibition of the oxidation of pyruvate by pent-4-enoyl-l-carnitine, and of palmitoyl-l-carnitine by cyclopropanecarbonyl-l-carnitine, after pre-incubation with 10mm-arsenate. This suggests that these inhibitions were caused either by depletion of free CoA or by increase of acyl-CoA concentrations, since arsenate deacylates intramitochondrial acyl-CoA. There was little effect on the inhibition of palmitoyl-l-carnitine oxidation by pent-4-enoyl-l-carnitine. 7. Penta-2,4-dienoate strongly inhibited palmitoyl-l-carnitine oxidation in coupled mitochondria; acrylate only inhibited slightly. 8. Pent-4-enoate (0.1mm) caused a rapid and almost complete decrease in free CoA and a large increase in acid-soluble acyl-CoA when incubated with coupled mitochondria. Cyclopropanecarboxylate caused a similar decrease in CoA, with an equivalent rise in acid-soluble acyl-CoA concentrations. n-Pentanoate caused extensive lowering of CoA and a large increase in acid-soluble acyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA concentrations. Octanoate caused a 50% lowering of CoA and an increase in acid-soluble acyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA concentrations. 9. Cyclopropanecarboxylate and n-pentanoate were less potent inhibitors of palmitate oxidation than was pent-4-enoate. 10. It is concluded that pent-4-enoate causes a specific inhibition of beta-oxidation after the formation intramitochondrially of its metabolites. 相似文献

In an attempt to develop a compound which would specifically inhibit 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase (EC 2.3.1.16) in whole mitochondria, 4-bromo-2-octenoic acid was synthesized and studied. After rat liver mitochondria were preincubated with 4-bromo-2-octenoic acid for 3 min, respiration supported by either palmitoylcarnitine or pyruvate was completely abolished, whereas no inhibition was observed with rat heart mitochondria. Addition of carnitine stimulated respiration supported by pyruvate without relieving inhibition of palmitoylcarnitine-dependent respiration. Hence, this compound seems to be a specific inhibitor of beta-oxidation. When the enzymes of beta-oxidation were assayed in a soluble extract prepared from mitochondria preincubated with 4-bromo-2-octenoic acid, only 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase was found to be inactivated. 4-Bromo-2-octenoic acid is metabolized by mitochondrial beta-oxidation enzymes to 3-keto-4-bromooctanoyl-CoA which effectively and irreversibly inhibits 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase but not acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (EC 2.3.1.9). Even though 3-keto-4-bromooctanoyl-CoA inhibits the latter enzyme reversibly, 4-bromo-2-octenoic acid does not inhibit ketogenesis in rat liver mitochondria with acetylcarnitine as a substrate. It is concluded that 4-bromo-2-octenoic acid specifically inhibits mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation by inactivating 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase in rat liver mitochondria. 相似文献

Abstract— A mitochondrial fraction isolated from the cerebral cortex of immature rats was shown to possess the characteristics of intact, functional mitochondria. Phenylpyruvate, in low concentrations, had an inhibitory effect upon oxygen utilization by this system without uncoupling phosphorylation. The inhibition was specific for the keto acid and to pyruvate as substrate. It was concluded that phenylpyruvate inhibits the oxidation of pyruvate and the implications of this are discussed in relation to phenylpyruvic oligophrenia. 相似文献

the mechanism of the effect of the peptide antibiotic polymixin B on respiration of rat liver mitochondria was studied. It was shown that polymixin B at concentrations of (1,6--2,0) . 10(-3) M inhibits mitochondrial respiration in state 3 and 3u irrespective of the oxidation substrate used and activates oxygen consumption in state 4 at lower concentrations. It is assumed that the antibiotic affects mitochondrial respiration by changing the ionic permeability of the membranes. 相似文献

Phthalonic acid is a powerful inhibitor of alpha-oxoglutarate transport in mitochondria. This conclusion is based on the following observations: 1. Phthalonic acid inhibits the oxidation of alpha-oxoglutarate but has no effect on the oxidation of glutamate or cis-aconitate. 2. With arsenite present, phthalonic acid inhibits the oxidation of glutamate plus malate and of cis-aconitate plus malate. Under these conditions alpha-oxoglutarate accumulates inside the mitochondria. With glutamate plus malate as substrates the inhibition is competitive with malate with a Ki value of 20 muM. 3. Phthalonic acid inhibits the oxidation of intramitochondrial NAD(P)H by alpha-oxoglutarate plus ammonia. The inhibition is competitive with respect to alpha-oxoglutarate with a Ki of 30 muM. 4. Phthalonic acid inhibits the exchange between extramitochondrial alpha-oxoglutarate and intramitochondrial malate. 相似文献

Milrinone (Win 47203) is a dipyridine related to amrinone, which is about 20–50 times as effective as amrinone when assayed on cardiac contractility. In dog heart-lung preparations, milrinone in a concentration of 0.25–0.5 μM produced a near maximal positive inotropic effect on a variety of acute heart failures. This dosage produced a minimal increase in heart rate and reduced the PR interval. Large doses of milrinone did not produce cardiac irregularities and in Nifedipine heart failure with ventricular irregularities, it eliminated these irregularities. Papaverine-induced heart failure was resistant to ouabain, epinephrine and milrinone therapy. In the presence of positive inotropic amounts of papaverine or theophylline, a pentobarbital heart failure was superimposed. This heart failure responded poorly to milrinone, although it responded to both the addition of epinephrine and ouabain. It is thus possible that milrinone, papaverine and theophyline have closely related sites of action. 相似文献

It was found that 0.06 μg antimycin A/mg mitochondrial protein, an amount sufficient to inhibit electron transfer between cytochromes b and c1 completely, fully reversed the oxidation of cytochrome a caused by L-malate in anaerobic mitochondria. The effect of L-malate on cytochrome a was insensitive to oligomycin, but all the uncouplers and detergents tested reversed the oxidation of cytochrome a caused by L-malate in anaerobic mitochondria. It was also found that addition of L-malate to anaerobic mitochondria, like addition of ATP, decreased the fluorescence of 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulphonate, and that subsequent addition of uncouplers reversed this effect. The effect of L-malate on the fluorescence of the dye was insensitive to oligomycin. The present findings suggest that addition of L-malate may cause energization of the mitochondrial inner membranes and that the oxidation of cytochrome a caused by L-malate in anaerobic mitochondria may result from an L-malate-induced, energy-linked reversal of electron transfer in site II. 相似文献

The effect of a polyanion (a copolymer of methacrylate, malaete and styrene in a 1:2:3 proportion with an average molecular weight of 10 000) on respiration, ATPase activity and ADP/ATP exchange activity of rat liver mitochondria and submitochondrial particles has been studied.The polyanion (at 17–150 μg/ml concentration, 100 μg polyanion corresponding to 0.83 μequiv. of carboxylic groups) inhibits the oxidation of succinate and NAD-linked substrates in state 3 in a concentration-dependent manner. The extent of this inhibition can be decreased by elevating the concentration of ADP. State 4 respiration is not affected by the polyanion. It has also a slight inhibitory effect on the oxidation of the above mentioned substrates in the uncoupled state (a maximum inhibition of 37% at 166 μg/ml polyanion concentration), which is unaffected by ADP. The strong inhibition of state 3 respiration can be relieved by 2,4-dinitrophenol to the low level observed in the uncoupled state. Ascorbate+TMPD oxidation is slightly inhibited in state 3, while it is not inhibited at all in the uncoupled state.The polyanion, depending on its concentration, strongly inhibits also the DNP-activated ATPase activity of mitochondria (50% inhibition at 40 μg/ml polyanion concentration).The ATPase activity of sonic submitochondrial particles is also inhibited. However, this inhibition is incomplete (reaching a maximum of 65%) and higher concentrations of the polyanion are required than to inhibit the ATPase activity of intact mitochondria.The polyanion inhibits the ADP/ATP translocator activity of mitochondria, measured by the “back exchange” of [2- 3H]ADP. After a short preincubation of the mitochondria with the polyanion, the concentration dependence of the inhibition by the polyanion corresponds to that of the DNP-activated ATPase activity of intact mitochondria.It is concluded that, in intact mitochondria, the polyanion has at least a dual effect, i.e. it partially inhibits the respiratory chain between cytochrome b and cytochrome c, and strongly oxidative phosphorylation by blocking the ADP/ATP translocator. 相似文献

The effects of kaempferol on the oxidative and phosphorylative properties of plant mitochondria from potato tubers and etiolated mung bean ( Phaseolus aureus Roxb.) hypocotyls were investigated. Kaempferol inhibited the state 3 oxidation rate of malate, NADH, and succinate, but was without effect on the ascorbate-tetramethyl p-phenylenediamine oxidation rate. The inhibition was almost the same whether the mitochondria were in state 3 or in an uncoupled state 3. When 180 micromolar kaempferol was added during state 4, the tight coupling of succinate or NADH oxidation was not released. The results obtained indicate that kaempferol inhibits the mitochondrial electron flow at, or just after, the flavoprotein site. 相似文献

Halidor 1-benzyl-1-(3'-dimethylaminopropoxy)-cycloheptane fumarate, activates succinate oxidation in mitochondria and inhibits reverse electron transport from succinate to NAD+ in submitochondrial partides preparations at doses of 2-10(-5)--10(-3) M. At a dose of 5--7-10(-4) M halidor cause a swelling of mitochondria incubated in 0.1 M NH4NO3. At higher concentrations (10(-3)--10(-2) M) halidor practically completely inhibits NADH and succinate oxidase activity of mitochondria and submitochondrial particles. It is suggested that vasodilating effect of halidor is due to the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, thus causing a deficiency of ATP for contracting function of blood vessel muscles. 相似文献

Progress in understanding the role of NAD(P)H oxidation in plant respiration is restricted by the lack of access to specific inhibitors of each of the unknown number of NAD(P)H dehydrogenases in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Platanetin (3,5,7,8-tetrahydroxy-6-isoprenyl flavone) is known to be an inhibitor of extermal NADH oxidation by plant mitochondria, while 7-iodo-acridone-4-carboxylic acid (IACA) is an inhibitor of an internal, rotenone-insensitive NAD(P)H dehydrogenase isolated from yeast mitochondria. Here we show that platanetin inhibits external NAD(P)H oxidation by intact potato ( Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Bintje) tuber mitochondria, deamino-NADH oxidation by Complex I assayed using inside-out submitochondrial particles from these mitochondria, and rotenone-insensitive NAD(P)H oxidation by these submitochondrial particles. IACA was found to inhibit the oxidation of external NADH and succinate by intact mitochondria with similar efficiency. However, IACA also inhibited NADPH and duroquinol oxidation by intact mitochondria as well as deamino-NADH and NAD(P)H oxidation by inside-out submitochondrial particles. This indicates that IACA has several sites of inhibition in the electron transport chain. The lack of specificity of both platanetin and IACA prevents these inhibitors from being used to shed more light on the identity of the NAD(P)H dehydrogenases in plant mitochondria. 相似文献
