The influence of mitochondrial creatine kinase on subcellular high energy systems has been investigated using isolated rat heart mitochondria, mitoplasts and intact heart and skeletal muscle tissue.In isolated mitochondria, the creatine kinase is functionally coupled to oxidative phosphorylation at active respiratory chain, so that it catalyses the formation of creatine phosphate against its thermodynamic equilibrium. Therefore the mass action ratio is shifted from the equilibrium ratio to lower values. At inhibited respiration, it is close to the equilibrium value, irrespective of the mechanism of the inhibition. The same results were obtained for mitoplasts under conditions where the mitochondrial creatine kinase is still associated with the inner membrane.In intact tissue increasing amounts of creatine phosphate are found in the mitochondrial compartment when respiration and/or muscle work are increased. It is suggested that at high rates of oxidative phosphorylation creatine phosphate is accumulated in the intermembrane space due to the high activity of mitochondrial creatine kinase and the restricted permeability of reactants into the extramitochondrial space. A certain amount of this creatine phosphate leaks into the mitochondrial matrix.This leak is confirmed in isolated rat heart mitochondria where creatine phosphate is taken up when it is generated by the mitochondrial creatine kinase reaction. At inhibited creatine kinase, external creatine phosphate is not taken up. Likewise, mitoplasts only take up creatine phosphate when creatine kinase is still associated with the inner membrane. Both findings indicate that uptake is dependent on the functional active creatine kinase coupled to oxidative phosphorylation.Creatine phosphate uptake into mitochondria is inhibited with carboxyatractyloside. This suggests a possible role of the mitochondrial adenine nucleotide translocase in creatine phosphate uptake.Taken together, our findings are in agreement with the proposal that creatine kinase operates in the intermembrane space as a functional unit with the adenine nucleotide translocase in the inner membrane for optimal transfer of energy from the electron transport chain to extramitochondrial ATP-consuming reactions. 相似文献

Mitochondrial creatine kinase was purified from rat hearts and used to produce antibodies in chicken and rabbits. Antibodies were purified to a high degree of homogeneity by an affinity chromatography method. Chicken antibodies against mitochondrial creatine kinase inhibited this enzyme in rat-heart mitochondrial inner membrane and matrix preparation, and simultaneously blocked oxidative phosphorylation. Under these conditions respiratory chain activities remained unchanged, but adenine nucleotide translocase was inhibited. Removal of mitochondrial creatine kinase from the membrane by pretreatment with 0.15 M KCl and 20 mM ADP completely abolished the effect of antibodies against mitochondrial creatine kinase on oxidative phosphorylation. Noninhibitory antibodies from rabbit with high affinity to rat mitochondrial creatine kinase inhibited neither creatine kinase activity nor oxidative phosphorylation. These data show close and specific spatial arrangement of mitochondrial creatine kinase and adenine nucleotide translocase in mitochondria. It is supposed that there is a fixed orientation of these proteins in the cardiolipin domain in the membrane and that their interaction may occur by a frequent collision due to their lateral movement. 相似文献

A membrane fraction of intermediate density between inner and outer membrane was isolated by density gradient centrifugation from osmotically disrupted mitochondria of rat liver, brain, and kidney. The fraction was hexokinase rich and could therefore be further purified using specific antibodies against hexokinase and immunogold labelling techniques. In agreement with recent findings the gradient fraction which cosedimented with hexokinase contained the boundary membrane contact sites because it was composed of outer and inner membrane components and beside hexokinase, was enriched also by activity of creatine kinase and nucleoside diphosphate kinase. In contrast the activity of adenylate kinase appeared to be concentrated beyond the contact sites in the outer membrane fraction. By employing surface proteolysis analysis and specific blockers of the outer membrane pore we observed that the location of the kinases relative to the membrane components in the contact fraction resembled that of intact mitochondria. This specific organization of some peripheral kinases in the contact sites suggested an important role of the voltage dependence of the outer membrane pore, in that the pore may become limiting in anion exchange because of influence of the inner membrane potential on the closely attached outer membrane. Such control of anion exchange would lead to a dynamic compartmentation at the mitochondrial surface by the formation of contact sites, which may explain the preferential utilization of cytosolic creatine by the mitochondrial creatine kinase, as postulated in the phosphocreatine shuttle. 相似文献

Creatine (Cr) plays a key role in cellular energy metabolism and is found at high concentrations in metabolically active cells such as skeletal muscle and neurons. These, and a variety of other cells, take up Cr from the extra cellular fluid by a high affinity Na(+)/Cl(-)-dependent creatine transporter (CrT). Mutations in the crt gene, found in several patients, lead to severe retardation of speech and mental development, accompanied by the absence of Cr in the brain. In order to characterize CrT protein(s) on a biochemical level, antibodies were raised against synthetic peptides derived from the N- and C-terminal cDNA sequences of the putative CrT-1 protein. In total homogenates of various tissues, both antibodies, directed against these different epitopes, recognize the same two major polypetides on Western blots with apparent Mr of 70 and 55 kDa. The C-terminal CrT antibody (alpha-CrTCOOH) immunologically reacts with proteins located at the inner membrane of mitochondria as determined by immuno-electron microscopy, as well as by subfractionation of mitochondria. Cr-uptake experiments with isolated mitochondria showed these organelles were able to transport Cr via a sulfhydryl-reagent-sensitive transporter that could be blocked by anti-CrT antibodies when the outer mitochondrial membrane was permeabilized. We concluded that mitochondria are able to specifically take-up Cr from the cytosol, via a low-affinity CrT, and that the above polypeptides would likely represent mitochondrial CrT(s). However, by mass spectrometry techniques, the immunologically reactive proteins, detected by our anti-CrT antibodies, were identified as E2 components of the alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase multi enzyme complexes, namely pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase (BC-KADH) and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (alpha-KGDH). The E2 components of PDH are membrane associated, whilst it would be expected that a mitochondrial CrT would be a transmembrane protein. Results of phase partitioning by Triton X-114, as well as washing of mitochondrial membranes at basic pH, support that these immunologically cross-reactive proteins are, as expected for E2 components, membrane associated rather than transmembrane. On the other hand, the fact that mitochondrial Cr uptake into intact mitoplast could be blocked by our alpha-CrTCOOH antibodies, indicate that our antisera contain antibodies reactive to proteins involved in mitochondrial transport of Cr. The presence of specific antibodies against CrT is supported by results from plasma membrane vesicles isolated from human and rat skeletal muscle, where both 55 and 70 kDa polypeptides disappeared and a single polypeptide with an apparent electrophoretic mobility of approximately 60 kDa was enriched. This latter is most likely representing the genuine plasma membrane CrT. Due to the fact that all anti-CrT antibodies that were independently prepared by several laboratories seem to cross-react with non-CrT polypeptides, specifically with E2 components of mitochondrial dehydrogenases, further research is required to characterise on a biochemical/biophysical level the CrT polypeptides, e.g. to determine whether the approximately 60 kDa polypeptide is indeed a bona-fide CrT and to identify the mitochondrial transporter that is able to facilitate Cr-uptake into these organelles. Therefore, the anti-CrT antibodies available so far should only be used with these precautions in mind. This holds especially true for quantitation of CrT polypeptides by Western blots, e.g. when trying to answer whether CrT's are up- or down-regulated by certain experimental interventions or under pathological conditions. In conclusion, we still hold to the scheme that besides the high-affinity and high-efficiency plasmalemma CrT there exists an additional low affinity high Km Cr uptake mechanism in mitochondria. However, the exact biochemical nature of this mitochondrial creatine transport, still remains elusive. Finally, similar to the creatine kinase (CK) isoenzymes, which are specifically located at different cellular compartments, also the substrates of CK are compartmentalized in cytosolic and mitochondrial pools. This is in line with 14C-Cr-isotope tracer studies and a number of [31P]-NMR magnetization transfer studies, as well as with recent [1H]-NMR spectroscopy data. 相似文献

Mitochondrial boundary membrane contact sites in brain: points of hexokinase and creatine kinase location, and control of Ca2+ transport 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The location of hexokinase at the surface of brain mitochondria was investigated by electron microscopy using immuno-gold labelling techniques. The enzyme was located where the two mitochondrial limiting membranes were opposed and contact sites were possible. Disruption of the outer membrane by digitonin did not remove bound hexokinase and creatine kinase from brain mitochondria, although the activity of outer membrane markers and adenylate kinase decreased, suggesting a preferential location of both enzymes in the contact sites. In agreement with that, a membrane fraction was isolated from osmotically lysed rat brain mitochondria in which hexokinase and creatine kinase were concentrated. The density of this kinase-rich fraction was specifically increased by immuno-gold labelling of hexokinase, allowing a further purification by density gradient centrifugation. The fraction was composed of inner and outer limiting membrane components as shown by the specific marker enzymes, succinate dehydrogenase and NADH-cytochrome-c-oxidase (rotenone insensitive). As reported earlier for the enriched contact site fraction of liver mitochondria the fraction from brain mitochondria contained a high activity of glutathione transferase and a low cholesterol concentration. Moreover, the contacts showed a higher Ca2+ binding capacity in comparison to outer and inner membrane fractions. This finding may have regulatory implications because glucose phosphorylation via hexokinase activated the active Ca2+ uptake system and inhibited the passive efflux, resulting in an increase of intramitochondrial Ca2+. 相似文献

Dystrophic chicken breast muscle mitochondria contain significantly less mitochondrial creatine kinase than normal breast muscle mitochondria. Breast muscle mitochondria from normal 16- to 40-day-old chickens contain approximately 80 units of mitochondrial creatine kinase per unit of succinate:INT (p-iodonitrotetrazolium violet) reductase, a mitochondrial marker, while dystrophic chicken breast muscle mitochondria contain 36-44 units. Normal chicken heart muscle mitochondria contain about 10% of the mitochondrial creatine kinase per unit of succinate:INT reductase as normal breast muscle mitochondria. The levels in heart muscle mitochondria from dystrophic chickens are not affected significantly. Evidence is presented which shows that the reduced level of mitochondrial creatine kinase in dystrophic breast muscle mitochondria is responsible for an altered creatine linked respiration. First, both normal and dystrophic breast muscle mitochondria respire with the same state 3 and state 4 respiration. Second, the post-ADP state 4 rate of respiration of normal breast muscle mitochondria in the presence of 20 mM creatine continues at the state 3 rate. However, the state 4 rate of dystrophic breast muscle mitochondria and mitochondria from other muscle types with a low level of mitochondrial creatine kinase, such as heart muscle and 5-day-old chicken breast muscle, is slower than the state 3 rate. Third, dystrophic breast mitochondria synthesize ATP at the same rate as normal breast muscle mitochondria but rates of creatine phosphate synthesis in 20-50 mM Pi are reduced significantly. Finally, increasing concentrations of Pi displace mitochondrial creatine kinase from mitoplasts of normal and dystrophic breast muscle mitochondria with the same apparent KD, indicating that the outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane and the mitochondrial creatine kinase from dystrophic muscle are not altered. 相似文献

Despite the pivotal role of creatine (Cr) and phosphocreatine (PCr) in muscle metabolism, relatively little is known about sarcolemmal creatine transport, creatine transporter (CRT) isoforms, and subcellular localization of the CRT proteins. To be able to quantify creatine transport across the sarcolemma, we have developed a new in vitro assay using rat sarcolemmal giant vesicles. The rat giant sarcolemmal vesicle assay reveals the presence of a specific high-affinity and saturable transport system for Cr in the sarcolemma (Michaelis-Menten constant 52.4 +/- 9.4 microM and maximal velocity value 17.3 +/- 3.1 pmol x min(-1) x mg vesicle protein(-1)), which cotransports Cr into skeletal muscle together with Na(+) and Cl(-) ions. The regulation of Cr transport in giant vesicles by substrates, analogs, and inhibitors, as well as by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and insulin, was studied. Two antibodies raised against COOH- and NH(2)-terminal synthetic peptides of CRT sequences both recognize two major polypeptides on Western blots with apparent molecular masses of 70 and 55 kDa, respectively. The highest CRT expression occurs in heart, brain, and kidney, and although creatine kinase is absent in liver cells, CRT is also found in this tissue. Surprisingly, immunofluorescence staining of cultured adult rat heart cardiomyocytes with specific anti-CRT antibodies, as well as cell fractionation and cell surface biotinylation studies, revealed that only a minor CRT species with an intermediate molecular mass of approximately 58 kDa is present in the sarcolemma, whereas the previously identified major CRT-related protein species of 70 and 55 kDa are specifically located in mitochondria. Our studies indicate that mitochondria may represent a major compartment of CRT localization, thus providing a new aspect to the current debate about the existence and whereabouts of intracellular Cr and PCr compartments that have been inferred from [(14)C]PCr/Cr measurements in vivo as well as from recent in vivo NMR studies. 相似文献

Treatment of rat heart mitochondria with phosphate or mersalyl releases a number of proteins, including the mitochondrial creatine kinase (mt-CK). Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the released proteins showed that phosphate is more selective than mersalyl in releasing mt-CK. The rebinding of mt-CK to mitochondria was selectively inhibited by adriamycin, which complexes membrane-bound cardiolipin. mt-CK activity and binding experiments have shown that intact mitochondria are able to bind approximately twice the amount of mt-CK they originally contain. Liver mitochondria bound heart mitochondria mt-CK to the same extent as creatine kinase-depleted heart mitochondria. mt-CK was bound by liposomes but only if they contained cardiolipin. The binding of mt-CK to cardiolipin-containing liposomes was inhibited by adriamycin. Phosphatidylcholine liposomes reconstituted with the purified ADP/ATP translocator failed to bind mt-CK. 相似文献

Thyroid hormone effect on gene expression of the adenine nucleotide translocase in different rat tissues 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
W H?ppner U B Rasmussen G Abuerreish H Wohlrab H J Seitz 《Molecular endocrinology (Baltimore, Md.)》1988,2(11):1127-1131
The ADP/ATP transport across the mitochondrial membrane is achieved by the adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT), an integral inner mitochondrial membrane protein. As deduced from experiments in rat liver in vivo and in isolated rat liver mitochondria this ADP/ATP transport is accelerated by thyroid hormone application, thus explaining, at least to a considerable extent, the thyroid hormone mediated increase in mitochondrial metabolic activity. The present study investigates the effect of T3 on rat liver, heart, and kidney ANT gene expression. As shown by Northern blot analysis, a cDNA for beef heart ANT-mRNA showed cross-hybridization with the ANT-mRNA from rat heart, liver, and kidney. Hypo- and hyperthyroid rats showed no differences in size nor in amounts of heart, liver, and kidney ANT-mRNA. Measurement of heart ANT-protein level revealed no major differences among the various thyroid states. Thus, the long-term action of thyroid hormones on increasing the carrier-mediated ADP/ATP translocation cannot be ascribed to an effect of T3 on ANT gene expression. The mechanism by which T3 activates this transporter system remains to be identified but some possibilities are suggested. 相似文献

Phosphate extraction of heart mitochondria results in the release of creatine kinase. Under appropriate conditions phosphate-extracted mitochondria are able to rebind the creatine kinase, either from crude extracts or as the purified enzyme. Heart mitochondria are able to bind up to sevenfold more creatine kinase than they originally contained. The association is specific since the cytoplasmic isozyme from heart (MM) does not bind, and does not interfere with the binding of the mitochondrial isozyme even when MM is present in large excess. It is interesting that although liver mitochondria do not contain the mitochondrial isozyme of creatine kinase they are able to bind approximately the same amount of the enzyme as the heart mitochondria. 相似文献

Blood-to-retina transport of creatine via creatine transporter (CRT) at the rat inner blood-retinal barrier 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms of blood-to-retina creatine transport across the blood-retinal barrier (BRB) in vivo and in vitro, and to identify the responsible transporter(s). The creatine transport across the BRB in vivo and creatine uptake in an in vitro model of the inner BRB (TR-iBRB2 cells) were examined using [(14)C]creatine. Identification and localization of the creatine transporter (CRT) were carried out by RT-PCR, western blot, and immunoperoxidase electron microscopic analyses. An in vivo intravenous administration study suggested that [(14)C]creatine is transported from the blood to the retina against the creatine concentration gradient that exists between the retina and blood. [(14)C]Creatine uptake by TR-iBRB2 cells was saturable, Na(+)- and Cl(-)-dependent and inhibited by CRT inhibitors, suggesting that CRT is involved in creatine transport at the inner BRB. RT-PCR and western blot analyses demonstrated that CRT is expressed in rat retina and TR-iBRB2 cells. Moreover, using an immunoperoxidase electron microscopic analysis, CRT immunoreactivity was found at both the luminal and abluminal membranes of the rat retinal capillary endothelial cells. In conclusion, CRT is expressed at the inner BRB and plays a role in blood-to-retina creatine transport across the inner BRB. 相似文献

A bound form of creatine kinase associated with brain particulate was characterized by isoelectric focusing, antigenicity and chromatography and compared to muscle (MM), brain (BB), and heart mitochondrial isoenzymes. On partial purification and isoelectric focusing, the solubilized enzyme has a pl of 7.3, similar to the pl of muscle creatine kinase MM, pl 6.8, but different from brain creatine kinase BB, which precipitates on isoelectric focusing in sucrose or glycerol stabilized media at its calculated pl of 5.6. Gel filtration chromatography of deoxycholate solubilized particulate creatine kinase on Sephadex Gl50 reveals an estimated molecular weight of approximately 80,000 daltons. The brain particulate enzyme is antigenically distinct from both muscle and rat heart mitochondrial creatine kinase isoenzymes but has antigenic similarity with soluble cytoplasmic brain BB. The situation may be analogous to that found with rat heart mitochondria and rat heart cytoplasmic isoenzymes which we have shown to exhibit antigenic similarity even though differences in electrophoretic and amino acid composition have been demonstrated; however, the confident determination that the particulate enzyme is a separate isoenzyme will have to await amino acid analysis. 相似文献

The subcellular distribution of ATP, ADP, creatine phosphate and creatine was studied in normoxic control, isoprenaline-stimulated and potassium-arrested guinea-pig hearts as well as during ischemia and after reperfusion. The mitochondrial creatine phosphate/creatine ratio was closely correlated to the oxidative activity of the hearts. This was interpreted as an indication of a close coupling of mitochondrial creatine kinase to oxidative phosphorylation. To further investigate the functional coupling of mitochondrial creatine kinase to oxidative phosphorylation, rat or guinea-pig heart mitochondria were isolated and the mass action ratio of creatine kinase determined at active or inhibited oxidative phosphorylation or in the presence of high phosphate, conditions which are known to change the functional state of the mitochondrial enzyme. At active oxidative phosphorylation the mass action ratio was one-third of the equilibrium value whereas at inhibited oxidative phosphorylation (N2, oligomycin, carboxyatractyloside) or in the presence of high phosphate, the mass action ratio reached equilibrium values. These findings show that oxidative phosphorylation is essential for the regulation of the functional state of mitochondrial creatine kinase. The functional coupling of the mitochondrial creatine kinase and oxidative phosphorylation indicated from the correlation of mitochondrial creatine phosphate/creatine ratios with the oxidative activity of the heart in situ as well as from the deviation of the mass action ratio of the mitochondrial enzyme from creatine kinase equilibrium at active oxidative phosphorylation in isolated mitochondria is in accordance with the proposed operation of a creatine shuttle in heart tissue. 相似文献

The transport properties of mitochondria are such that net potassium flux across the inner membrane determines mitochondrial volume. It has been known that K+ uptake is mediated by diffusive leak driven by the high electrical membrane potential maintained by redox-driven, electrogenic proton ejection and that regulated K+ efflux is mediated by an 82-kDa inner membrane K+/H+ antiporter. There is also long-standing suggestive evidence for the existence of an inner membrane protein designed to catalyze electrophoretic K+ uptake into mitochondria. We report reconstitution of a highly purified inner membrane protein fraction from rat liver and beef heart mitochondria that catalyzes electrophoretic K+ flux in liposomes and channel activity in planar lipid bilayers. The unit conductance of the channel at saturating [K+] is about 30 pS. Reconstituted K+ flux is inhibited with high affinity by ATP and ADP in the presence of divalent cations and by glibenclamide in the absence of divalent cations. The mitochondrial ATP-dependent K+ channel is selective for K+, with a Km of 32 mM, and does not transport Na+. K+ transport depends on voltage in a manner consistent with a channel activity that is not voltage-regulated. Thus, the mitochondrial ATP-dependent K+ channel exhibits properties that are remarkably similar to those of the ATP-dependent K+ channels of plasma membranes. 相似文献

The concept that creatine phosphokinase is bound to the outer surface of the heart mitochondrial inner membrane originated from observations that the enzyme is retained by water-swollen heart mitochondria and by digitonintreated heart mitochondria suspended in isotonic sucrose. The present study establishes that digitonin-treated mitochondria release creatine phosphokinase in isotonic KCl, and other investigators have reported an identical response for the water-swollen organelles. These observations suggest that mitochondrial creatine phosphokinase is not bound to the outer surface of the inner membrane at a site adjacent to the adenine nucleotide translocase under physiologic conditions. 相似文献

Control of choline oxidation in rat kidney mitochondria 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Niaobh O'Donoghue 《BBA》2009,1787(9):1135-1087
Choline is a quaternary amino cationic organic alcohol that is oxidized to betaine in liver and kidney mitochondria. Betaine acts as an intracellular organic osmolyte in the medulla of the kidney. Evidence is provided that kidney mitochondria have a choline transporter in their inner membrane. The transporter has a Km of 173 ± 64 μM and a Vmax of 0.4 ± 0.1 nmol/min/mg mitochondrial protein (at 10 °C). Uptake of choline is not coupled to betaine efflux. Transporter activity demonstrates a dependence on membrane potential and choline transport is inhibited by hemicholinium-3. Steady-state oxygen consumption due to choline oxidation in kidney mitochondria was measurable at 37 °C (125 ± 6 pmolO2/min/mg mitochondrial protein), in the absence of other mitochondrial electron transport chain substrates and the choline transporter was shown to be the major site of control (96 ± 4%) over choline oxidation flux in isolated kidney mitochondria. We conclude that the choline transporter in rat kidney mitochondria is the major site of control over the production of the organic osmolyte, betaine. 相似文献

To define more clearly the interactions between mitochondrial creatine kinase and the adenine nucleotide translocase, the outer membrane of rat heart mitochondria was removed by digitonin, producing an inner membrane-matrix (mitoplast) preparation. This mitoplast fracton was well-coupled and contained a high specific activity of mitochondrial creatine kinase. Outer membrane permeabilization was documented by the loss of adenylate kinase, a soluble intermembrane enzyme, and by direct antibody inhibition of mitochondrial creatine kinase activity. With this preparation, we documented four important aspects of functional coupling. Kinetic studies showed that oxidative phosphorylation decreased the value of the ternary enzyme-substrate complex dissociation constant for MgATP from 140 to 16 microM. Two approaches were used to document the adenine nucleotide translocase specificity for ADP generated by mitochondrial creatine kinase. Exogenous pyruvate kinase (20 IU/ml) could not readily phosphorylate ADP produced by creatine kinase, since added pyruvate kinase did not markedly inhibit creatine + ATP-stimulated respiration. Additionally, when ADP was produced by mitochondrial creatine kinase, the inhibition of the translocase required 2 nmol of atractyloside/mg of mitoplast protein, while only 1 nmol/mg was necessary when exogenous ADP was added. Finally, the mass action ratio of the mitochondrial creatine kinase reaction exceeded the apparent equilibrium constant when ATP was supplied to the creatine kinase reaction by oxidative phosphorylation. Overall, these results are consistent with much data from intact rat heart mitochondria, and suggest that the outer membrane plays a minor role in the compartmentation of adenine nucleotides. Furthermore, since the removal of the outer membrane does not alter the unique coupling between oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial creatine kinase, we suggest that this cooperation is the result of protein-protein proximity at the inner membrane surface. 相似文献

The effect of protein labeling agents on coenzyme A (CoA) transport into isolated rat heart mitochondria was studied. CoA transport was substantially inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents (mersalyl, pCMB) as well as by the tyrosine-selective reagent N-acetylimidazole. The effect of pCMB was reversed by DTT. Moreover, CoA uptake was completely abolished by agents selective for lysine and amino terminal residues (pyridoxal 5-phosphate, dansyl chloride). In contrast arginine-selective reagents (2, 3-butanedione, phenylglyoxal) caused considerably less inhibiton of CoA uptake. Moreover, partial inhibition of transport was observed with the stilbene disulfonic acid derivatives DIDS and SITS. Finally, measurement of the effects of the labeling agents on the mitochondrial membrane potential indicated that the inhibition of CoA transport into mitochondria is not a secondary effect that arises from an alteration in the electric potential gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. These results provide the first information on the types of amino acid residues that may be essential to the CoA transport mechanism and provide additional support for the existence of a CoA transport protein within the mitochondrial inner membrane. Furthermore, the identification of effective inhibitors of the CoA transport system will greatly facilitate the functional reconstitution of this transporter in a proteoliposomal system following its solubilization and purification. 相似文献

The formation of creatine phosphate by isolated rabbit heart mitochondria in the presence of creatine, α-ketoglutarate, ATP, and inorganic phosphate was studied. Creatine phosphate formation was inhibited by oligomycin. This was most probably due to increased concentration of ADP favoring the reverse reaction (formation of creatine and ATP from phosphocreatine and ADP). The inhibitory effect of oligomycin disappeared in the presence of phosphoenolpyruvate and pyruvate kinase. The results do not indicate any direct coupling between mitochondrial creatine phosphokinase and ATP-ADP translocase as has been suggested for rat heart mitochondria. 相似文献

A large part of the hexokinase activity of the rat brain 20,000g supernatant became mitochondrial bound when incubated with rat heart mitochondria which had been pretreated with glucose-6-phosphate. This binding was dependent on small-molecular compounds (as yet unidentified) of the brain supernatant. Divalent cations, spermine, and pentalysine strongly stimulated the binding of brain supernatant hexokinase to heart mitochondria. Inorganic phosphate, alpha-glycerophosphate, and fructose-1,6-diphosphate showed some stimulatory effect. No effect was observed with insulin or glucose. Mitochondria isolated from hearts of fasted rats had less specific hexokinase activity than mitochondria from fasted and then carbohydrate refed rats. This dietary treatment had no significant effect on the total heart hexokinase activity. Oligomycin did not inhibit the formation of creatine phosphate or glucose-6-phosphate by isolated rabbit heart mitochondria incubated in the presence of phosphoenolpyruvate and pyruvate kinase. However, the presence of creatine inhibited the formation of glucose-6-phosphate when the ATP/ADP ratio was low, indicating that creatine kinase has a greater access to ATP/ADP translocation than has hexokinase. 相似文献
