Abstract: | The energy requirements for mitochondrial protein synthesis were investigated in isolated rat liver mitochondria. Controlled changes in coupling efficiency were obtained by titration with FCCP in the presence of various substrates. No relationship was observed between the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation and the inhibition of protein synthesis. With succinate-ADP as the substrate the ADP:O ratio was decreased by 70–80% with no effect on protein synthesis. In contrast, with acetate-ADP as substrate, a 10–20% reduction in the ADP:O ratio gave complete inhibition of protein synthesis. The data suggest that the rate of ATP production is more important for maintenance of protein synthesis than the efficiency of coupling . Thus, certain substrates can support maximal rates of protein synthesis even in relatively poorly coupled mitochondria. Analysis of mitochondrial translation products formed in the presence of increasing FCCP concentrations also showed that decreased efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation had no influence on the nature of the products. |
