H+/site, charge/site, and ATP/site ratios in mitochondrial electron transport.
H(+)/site, charge/site, and ATP/site ratios have been determined at coupling sites I, II, and III. Three e(-) donors have been used for coupling site III: ferrocyanide, ascorbate + tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD), and succinate + TMPD. The H(+)/site ratios are 4.0 with ferrocyanide and 6.0 with succinate + TMPD (at pH <7.0); the charge/site ratios are 6.0 with ferrocyanide and with succin...
متن کاملMitochondrial electron transport enzymes in normal and leukemic human leukocytes.
T HE DISCOVERY OF CHANGES in the metabolism of malignant cells, as demonstrated by enzymologic technics, will lead, hopefully, to the better understanding of the nature of the neoplastic process, which is the ultimate necessity for satisfactory therapy. In 1963, Silber, Huennekens, and Gabrio1 reported the presence of increased amounts of two pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase enzymes in huma...
متن کاملMitochondrial electron transport inhibition and viability of intraerythrocytic Plasmodium falciparum.
Although mitochondrial electron transport is a validated target of the antimalarial drug atovaquone, the molecular details underlying parasite demise are unclear. We have shown that a critical function of mitochondrial electron transport in blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum is to support pyrimidine biosynthesis. Here, we explore the effects of atovaquone, alone and in combination with proguanil...
متن کاملElectrostatic screening stimulates rate-limiting steps in mitochondrial electron transport.
The effect of electrostatic screening of fixed negative charges on uncoupled mitochondrial electron transport was investigated with substrates with different charge and different sites of donation of electrons to the electron-transport chain of Jerusalem-artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) mitochondria. Duroquinol (neutral substrate) was oxidized with a pH optimum of 7.6-7.8. The addition of ca...
متن کاملChanges in mitochondrial electron transport chain activity during insect metamorphosis.
The midgut of the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) is a highly aerobic tissue that is destroyed by programmed cell death during larval-pupal metamorphosis. The death of the epithelium begins after commitment to pupation, and the oxygen consumption of isolated midgut mitochondria decreases soon after commitment. To assess the role of the electron transport chain in this decline in mitochondrial ...
