Lateral translational diffusion of cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondrial energy-transducing membrane.
The degree of freedom for lateral translational diffusion by cytochrome c oxidase and other integral proteins in the energy-transducing membrane of the mitochondrion was determined by combining the use of an immunoglobulin probe monospecific for the oxidase with thermotropic lipid phase transitions. Lateral mobility of the oxidase was monitored by observing the distribution of the immunoglobuli...
متن کاملNew insight into the mechanism of mitochondrial cytochrome c function
We investigate functional role of the P76GTKMIFA83 fragment of the primary structure of cytochrome c. Based on the data obtained by the analysis of informational structure (ANIS), we propose a model of functioning of cytochrome c. According to this model, conformational rearrangements of the P76GTKMIFA83 loop fragment have a significant effect on conformational mobility of the heme. It is sugge...
متن کاملMitochondrial respiratory chain supercomplexes are destabilized in Barth Syndrome patients.
Mutations in the human TAZ gene are associated with Barth Syndrome, an often fatal X-linked disorder that presents with cardiomyopathy and neutropenia. The TAZ gene encodes Tafazzin, a putative phospholipid acyltranferase that is involved in the remodeling of cardiolipin, a phospholipid unique to the inner mitochondrial membrane. It has been shown that the disruption of the Tafazzin gene in yea...
متن کاملQuestioning the functional relevance of mitochondrial supercomplexes by time-resolved analysis of the respiratory chain.
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of eukaryotic cells as they feed metabolism with its major substrate. Oxidative-phosphorylation relies on the generation, by an electron/proton transfer chain, of an electrochemical transmembrane potential utilized to synthesize ATP. Although these fundamental principles are not a matter of debate, the emerging picture of the respiratory chain diverges from the ...
متن کاملCoenzyme q and the respiratory chain: coenzyme q pool and mitochondrial supercomplexes.
Two alternative models of organization of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (mETC) have been alternatively favored or questioned by the accumulation evidences of different sources, the solid model or the random collision model. Both agree in the number of respiratory complexes (I-IV) that participate in the mETC, but while the random collision model proposes that Complexes I-IV do not ...
