Uncoupling protein, H+ transport and regulation.
The biochemical functions of uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are discussed with the view of UCP1 as a paradigm. In contrast with UCP1, the heterologous expression of UCP3 in yeast is found to result primarily in extra-mitochondrial deposits and thus is unsuitable for studying UCP3 function. On expression in Escherichia coli inclusion bodies, UCPs extracted and incorporated into vesicles showed no H(...
متن کاملThe mechanism of proton transport mediated by mitochondrial uncoupling proteins.
The effort to understand the mechanism of uncoupling by UCP has devolved into two models - the fatty acid protonophore model and the proton buffering model. Evidence for each hypothesis is summarized and evaluated. We also evaluate the obligatory requirement for fatty acids in UCP1-mediated uncoupling and the question of fatty acid affinity for UCP1. The structural bases of UCP transport functi...
متن کاملHydroperoxy fatty acid cycling mediated by mitochondrial uncoupling protein UCP2.
Functional activation of mitochondrial uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) is proposed to decrease reactive oxygen species production. Skulachev and Goglia (Skulachev, V. P., and Goglia, F. (2003) FASEB J. 17, 1585-1591) hypothesized that hydroperoxy fatty acid anions are translocated by UCPs but cannot flip-flop across the membrane. We found that the second aspect is otherwise; the addition of synthes...
متن کاملProtein-protein coupling/uncoupling enables dopamine D2 receptor regulation of AMPA receptor-mediated excitotoxicity.
here is considerable evidence that dopamine D2 receptors can modulate AMPA receptor-mediated neurotoxicity. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this process remains essentially unclear. Here we report that D2 receptors inhibit AMPA-mediated neurotoxicity through two pathways: the activation of phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI-3K) and downregulation of AMPA receptor plasma membrane expressi...
