Anion uniport in plant mitochondria is mediated by a Mg(2+)-insensitive inner membrane anion channel.
It has long been established that the inner membrane of plant mitochondria is permeable to Cl-. Evidence has also accumulated which suggests that a number of other anions such as Pi and dicarboxylates can also be transported electrophoretically. In this paper, we present evidence that anion uniport in plant mitochondria is mediated via a pH-regulated channel related to the so-called inner membr...
متن کاملTransport Pathways—Proton Motive Force Interrelationship in Durum Wheat Mitochondria
In durum wheat mitochondria (DWM) the ATP-inhibited plant mitochondrial potassium channel (PmitoK(ATP)) and the plant uncoupling protein (PUCP) are able to strongly reduce the proton motive force (pmf) to control mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species; under these conditions, mitochondrial carriers lack the driving force for transport and should be inactive. However, unexpectedly, ...
متن کاملThe voltage-dependent anion channel, a major component of the tRNA import machinery in plant mitochondria.
In plants, as in most eukaryotic cells, import of nuclear-encoded cytosolic tRNAs is an essential process for mitochondrial biogenesis. Despite its broad occurrence, the mechanisms governing RNA transport into mitochondria are far less understood than protein import. This article demonstrates by Northwestern and gel-shift experiments that the plant mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel ...
متن کاملPlant Mitochondrial Inner Membrane Protein Insertion
During the biogenesis of the mitochondrial inner membrane, most nuclear-encoded inner membrane proteins are laterally released into the membrane by the TIM23 and the TIM22 machinery during their import into mitochondria. A subset of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial inner membrane proteins and all the mitochondrial-encoded inner membrane proteins use the Oxa machinery-which is evolutionarily conser...
متن کاملTriorganotins inhibit the mitochondrial inner membrane anion channel.
The inner membrane of liver and heart mitochondria possesses an anion uniport pathway, known as the inner membrane anion channel (IMAC). IMAC is inhibited by matrix Mg2+, matrix H+, N,N'-dicyclohexycarbodiimide, mercurials and amphiphilic amines such as propranolol. Most of these agents react with a number of different mitochondrial proteins and, therefore, more selective inhibitors have been s...
