ADP-ribosyl transferase and NAD glycohydrolase activities have been estimated in mitochondria in mitoplasts as well as in other submitochondrial fractions. A high activity of these two enzymes was present in mitoplasts as compared to the outer membrane preparation or intermembrane compartment. Inhibitor studies provide strong evidence for the involvement of ADP-ribosyl transferase in the process of ADP-ribosylation of mitochondrial proteins. When NAD glycohydrolase was blocked by nicotinamide or 3-aminobenzamide, the incorporation of ADP-ribose into mitochondrial proteins still occurs. ADP-ribosyl transferase activity could also be detected when NAD glycohydrolase was separated by hydroxylapatite chromatography. The protein-linked ADP-ribose moiety appears to be an oligomer in mitochondria. 相似文献

The rate at which isolated rat liver mitochondria synthesized citrulline with NH4C1 as nitrogen source was markedly dependent on the protein content of the diet. 2. Citrulline synthesis was not rate-limited by substrate concentration, substrate transport or ornithine transcarbamoylase activity under the conditions used. 3. The intramitochondrial content of an activator of carbamoyl phosphate synthase, assumed to be N-acetyl-glutamate, varied markedly with dietary protein content. The variation in the concentration of this activator was sufficient to account for the observed variation in the rates of citrulline synthesis if this synthesis were rate-limited by the activity of carbamoyl phosphate synthase. 4. The rates of urea formation from NH4Cl as nitrogen source in isolated liver cells showed variations in response to diet that closely paralleled the variations in the rates of citrulline synthesis observed in isolated mitochondria. 5. These results are consistent with the postulate that when NH4Cl plus ornithine are present in an excess, the rate of urea synthesis is regulated at the level of carbamoyl phosphate synthase activity. 相似文献

ATP hydrolysis catalysed by the H+-ATPase of intact mitochondria can be induced by addition of ATP in the presence of valinomycin and KCl. This leads to an increase in intramitochondrial Pi and therefore allows investigation of potential Pi efflux pathways in intact mitochondria. Combining this approach with the direct measurement of both internal and external Pi, we have attempted to determine whether Pi efflux occurs via an atractyloside-sensitive transporter, by the classical operation of the Pi/H+ and Pi/dicarboxylate carriers, and/or by other mechanisms. Initial experiments re-examined the evidence that led to the current view that one efflux pathway for Pi is an atractyloside-sensitive ATP/ADP,0.5Pi transporter. No evidence was found in support of this efflux pathway. Rather, atractyloside-sensitivity of the low rate of Pi efflux observed in previous studies (oligomycin present) was accounted for by ATP entry on the well known ATP/ADP transport system followed by hydrolysis of ATP and subsequent Pi efflux. Thus, under these conditions, where ATP hydrolysis is not completely inhibited, Pi efflux becomes atractyloside sensitive most likely because this inhibitor blocks ATP entry, not because it directly inhibits Pi efflux. Substantial efflux of Pi from rat liver mitochondria is observed on generation of high levels of matrix Pi by ATP hydrolysis induced by valinomycin and K+ (oligomycin absent). A portion of this efflux can be inhibited by thiol-specific reagents at concentrations that normally inhibit the Pi/H+ and Pi/dicarboxylate carriers. However, a significant fraction of efflux continues even in the presence of p-chloromercuribenzoate, N-ethylmaleimide plus n-butylmalonate or mersalyl. The mersalyl-insensitive Pi efflux, which is also insensitive to carboxyatractyloside, is a saturable process, thus suggesting carrier mediation. During this efflux the mitochondrial inner membrane retains considerable impermeability to other low-molecular-weight anions (i.e., malate, 2-oxoglutarate). In conclusion, results presented here rule out an atractyloside-sensitive ATP/ADP,0.5Pi transport system as a mechanism for Pi efflux in rat liver mitochondria. Rather Pi efflux appears to occur on the classical Pi/H+ transport system as well as via a mersalyl-insensitive saturable process. The inhibitor-insensitive Pi efflux may occur on a portion of the Pi/H+ carrier molecules that exist in a state different from that normally catalysing Pi influx. Alternatively, a separate Pi efflux carrier may exist. 相似文献

Phosphate efflux from uncoupled rat liver mitochondria was completely inhibited when mersalyl plus butylmalonate and ATP were added to a sucrose suspending medium. Despite the total retention of phosphate a calcium efflux was observed even in presence of ruthenium red. Under the above conditions no phosphate is transported in association with the ADP/ATP carrier. While mersalyl completely blocked the phosphate release induced by ruthenium red or EGTA from coupled mitochondria it only partially inhibited the CA2+-efflux. The inhibition of Ca2+ efflux was almost completely abolished in the presence of acetate. The existence of a co-transport of Ca2+ associated with phosphate is discussed. 相似文献

In the cirrhotic rat liver induced by carbon tetrachloride and phenobarbitone, the concentrations of mitochondrial Coenzyme Q were measured in comparison with other respiratory components. The concentration of cytochrome a(+a3) and Coenzyme Q significantly increased in the cirrhotic liver, without any changes in the ratio of Coenzyme Q to cytochrome a(+a3). It is suggested that such increase of Coenzyme Q plays an important role as one of the adaptive responses to compensate for the prolonged metabolic overload on the mitochondrial respiratory assembly. Also, from the findings that the concentrations of cytochrome a(+a3) in the mitochondria of cirrhotic liver increase concomitant with the severity of cirrhosis, it is suggested that the rise of Coenzyme Q levels may be one of the indicators for the decreased functional reserve capacity in liver cirrhosis. 相似文献

The electron microscopic appearance of rat liver mitochondria fixed in glutaraldehyde is altered if certain colloids (serum albumin, dextran or Ficoll) are present in the medium at about 3%. To compare behaviour in control and albumin-supplemented media, the rate of stimulated respiration was measured with various substrates. It was found that the rate of respiration was reduced with succinate or pyruvate and was almost abolished with oxoglutarate, while malate oxidation (in presence of glutamate) was unaffected. The rate of oxoglutarate oxidation could be restored by causing mitochondrial swelling. It is suggested that the effects are due to the presence of endogenous colloids in the particles whose effects on water activity have to be balanced by external colloid. In the absence of external colloid, swelling of the internal colloid-containing compartments may give rise to an enhanced permeability of the membrane so that reactions occurin vitro which do not take place rapidly if at allin vivo. 相似文献

We studied action of inorganic phosphate (P(i)) on toxic effects of Tl+ in isolated rat liver mitochondria. This is a convenient model to study the toxicity of heavy metals. P(i) markedly retarded contraction of energized mitochondria swollen in the TlNO3 medium and even stronger stimulated swelling and state 4 of succinate-energized mitochondria in the TlNO3 medium. A valinomycin-induced decrease of K+-diffusion potential was also accelerated by Tl+ in the presence of P(i). The mitochondrial permeability transition pore in the medium containing Ca2+, TlNO3, and nitrates of univalent cations was distinctly stimulated by P(i). However, P(i) did not affect both the Tl+-stimulated swelling of nonenergized mitochondria in the TlNO3 medium and swelling of energized mitochondria in the Tl acetate medium. Respiration stimulated by 2,4-dinitrophenol and monoamine oxidase activity of energized mitochondria were not affected by Tl+ regardless of the presence of P(i). We suggested that stimulation by P(i) of toxic action of Tl+ in mitochondria and cells could be due to even greater enhancement of uncoupling of mitochondria as shown by an additional increase of swelling and state 4, and in the greater probability of opening of MPTP in the presence of P(i) and Ca2+. 相似文献

The effects of tetrachlorobiphenyls on the electron transfer reaction of isolated rat liver mitochondria 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A comparative study was made of the effects of several symmetrical tetrachlorobiphenyls (TCBs) on the electron transfer from succinate to oxygen of rat liver mitochondria, and some differences in effects caused by the different chlorine positions of the biphenyl ring were clarified. TCBs used in this study included 2,3,2',3'-, 2,4,2',4'-, 2,5,2',5'-, 2,6,2',6'-, and 3,4,3',4'-TCBs. The inhibitory actions of 2,3,2',3'-, 2,4,2',4'-, and 2,5,2',5'-TCBs on succinate oxidase were potent, while those caused by 2,6,2',6'- and 3,4,3',4'-TCBs were significantly weak. The inhibition sites of 2,3,2',3'-, 2,4,2',4'-, and 2,5,2',5'-TCBs in succinate oxidase were succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome b-c segment of the electron transport chain. In the cytochrome b-c segment, these TCBs acted on myxothiazol-sensitive site rather than antimycin-sensitive site. Cytochrome c oxidase was hardly affected by TCBs. These results indicate that 2,3,2',3'-, 2,4,2',4'-, and 2,5,2',5'-TCBs severely depress the electron transfer with succinate as the substrate, which secondarily reduces the synthesis of ATP. The relationship between the activity and chemical structure of TCBs is also discussed. 相似文献

Rat liver mitochondria are not fully functional at birth. The relationship between this deficiency and the affinity for phosphate, in oxidative phosphorylation or in phosphate transport, have been studied.The phosphate concentration necessary to observe maximal rate of succinate oxidation in the presence of ADP was higher for newborn than for adult rat liver mitochondria. After preincubation of newborn rat liver mitochondria with ATP, the rate of succinate oxidation in the presence of ADP increased with phosphate concentration similarly for newborn and adult rat liver mitochondria. The maximal rate of phosphate-acetate exchange, which is an indirect measure of the rate of phosphate transport across the mitochondrial membrane, was not significantly different for adult and newborn rat liver mitochondria. On the contrary the apparent affinity for phosphate was about ten-fold lower for newborn than for adult mitochondria. 相似文献
