Abstract:Single-ion channel activities were measured after reconstitution of potato tuber mitochondrial inner membranes into planar lipid bilayers. In addition to the recently described large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated potassium channel activity (Koszela-Piotrowska et al., 2009), the following mitochondrial ion conductance pathways were recorded: (i) an ATP-regulated potassium channel (mitoK(ATP) channel) activity with a conductance of 164+/-8pS, (ii) a large-conductance Ca(2+)-insensitive iberiotoxin-sensitive potassium channel activity with a conductance of 312 pS+/-23, and (iii) a chloride 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS)-inhibited channel activity with a conductance of 117 pS+/-4. In isolated non-phosphorylating potato tuber mitochondria, individual and combined potassium channel activities caused significant (up to 14mV) but not collapsing K(+)-influx-induced membrane potential depolarisation. Under phosphorylating conditions, the coupling parameters were unchanged in the presence of high K(+) level, indicating that plant K(+) channels function as energy-dissipating systems that are not able to divert energy from oxidative phosphorylation. A potato tuber K(+) channel that is ATP-, 5-hydroxydecanonic acid-, glybenclamide-inhibited and diazoxide-stimulated caused low cation flux, modestly decreasing membrane potential (up to a few mV) and increasing respiration in non-phosphorylating mitochondria. Immunological analysis with antibodies raised against the mammalian plasma membrane ATP-regulated K(+) channel identified a pore-forming subunit of the Kir-like family in potato tuber mitochondrial inner membrane. These results suggest that a mitoK(ATP) channel similar to that of mammalian mitochondria is present in potato tuber mitochondria.
