Abstract: | The phospholipid content of mitochondrial membranes from slices of potato tuber (Solanum tuberosum) remains stable during aging. The phospholipid compositions of whole mitochondria and inner membranes do not vary during aging whereas the concentrations of phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidyl-glycerol in outer membranes are slightly amplified. The saturation of outer membrane fatty acids is slightly increased during aging. Gel electrophoresis of mitochondrial membrane proteins show slight variations of one polypeptide in outer membranes and of three polypeptides in inner membranes. These results suggest parallel variations of lipids and proteins in membranes during aging, in marked contrast with the large modifications observed in mitochondrial activities. |
