Inhibition of electron transport at the cytochrome b(6)f complex protects photosystem II from photoinhibition.
Photoinhibition of photosystem II (PS II) activity was studied in thylakoid membranes illuminated in the presence of the inhibitor of the cytochrome b(6)f complex 2'iodo-6-isopropyl-3-methyl-2',4, 4'-trinitrodiphenylether (DNP-INT). DNP-INT was found to decrease photoinhibition. In the absence of DNP-INT, anaerobosis, superoxide dismutase and catalase protected against photoinhibition. No effec...
متن کاملInhibition of Mitochondrial Complex II by the Anticancer Agent Lonidamine*
The antitumor agent lonidamine (LND; 1-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-1H-indazole-3-carboxylic acid) is known to interfere with energy-yielding processes in cancer cells. However, the effect of LND on central energy metabolism has never been fully characterized. In this study, we report that a significant amount of succinate is accumulated in LND-treated cells. LND inhibits the formation of fumarate and ...
متن کاملInhibition of complex I of the electron transport chain causes O2-. -mediated mitochondrial outgrowth.
Recent evidence indicates that oxidative stress is central to the pathogenesis of a wide variety of degenerative diseases, aging, and cancer. Oxidative stress occurs when the delicate balance between production and detoxification of reactive oxygen species is disturbed. Mammalian cells respond to this condition in several ways, among which is a change in mitochondrial morphology. In the present...
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 کاملTumor cell death induced by the inhibition of mitochondrial electron transport: the effect of 3-hydroxybakuchiol.
Changes in mitochondrial ATP synthesis can affect the function of tumor cells due to the dependence of the first step of glycolysis on mitochondrial ATP. The oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system is responsible for the synthesis of approximately 90% of the ATP in normal cells and up to 50% in most glycolytic cancers; therefore, inhibition of the electron transport chain (ETC) emerges as an ...
