Electrostatic 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 کاملResolution and reconstitution of the mitochondrial electron transport system. I. Reconstitution of the succinate-ubiquinone reductase.
1. A procedure is described for separating from preparations of NADH-ubiquinone reductase (Complex I), an NADH dehydrogenase which retains full activity with ferricyanide as acceptor, but which is devoid of rotenone-sensitive NADH-ubiquinone reductase activity. About 50 to 90% of the original NADH-ubiquinone reductase activity is restored by recombination with purified phospholipids in the pres...
متن کاملRegulatory science innovation: a rate-limiting step in translation.
An essential part of the translation process, regulatory science is underfunded, undervalued, and in need of innovation. T e Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF) has a history of jumpstarting scientif c f elds with targeted funding. In keeping with this tradition, BWF announces an initiative to support regulatory science. T e goal of the new program is to fund academic research on innovative approache...
متن کاملConformational changes represent the rate-limiting step in the transport cycle of maize sucrose transporter1.
Proton-driven Suc transporters allow phloem cells of higher plants to accumulate Suc to more than 1 M, which is up to ~1000-fold higher than in the surrounding extracellular space. The carrier protein can accomplish this task only because proton and Suc transport are tightly coupled. This study provides insights into this coupling by resolving the first step in the transport cycle of the Suc tr...
متن کاملDocking, not fusion, as the rate-limiting step in a SNARE-driven vesicle fusion assay.
In vitro vesicle fusion assays that monitor lipid mixing between t-SNARE and v-SNARE vesicles in bulk solution exhibit remarkably slow fusion on the nonphysiological timescale of tens of minutes to several hours. Here, single-vesicle, fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based assays cleanly separate docking and fusion steps for individual vesicle pairs containing full-length SNAREs. Docking ...
