Ubiquinone is not required for proton conductance by uncoupling protein 1 in yeast mitochondria.
Q (coenzyme Q or ubiquinone) is reported to be a cofactor obligatory for proton transport by UCPs (uncoupling proteins) in liposomes [Echtay, Winkler and Klingenberg (2000) Nature (London) 408, 609-613] and for increasing the binding of the activator retinoic acid to UCP1 [Tomás, Ledesma and Rial (2002) FEBS Lett. 526, 63-65]. In the present study, yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) mutant stra...
متن کاملMitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 expression in thymocytes.
Using an antibody specific and selective to mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) peptide, this study confirms the observation that UCP 1 is present in thymocytes isolated from UCP 1 wild-type, but not UCP 1 knock-out mice. UCP 1 is also shown to be present in thymocytes isolated from rat. It was also demonstrated that an antibody raised to the full-length UCP 1 protein appears to be non-sp...
متن کاملHere and there, but not everywhere: repeated loss of uncoupling protein 1 in amniotes.
Endothermy is an evolutionary innovation in eutherian mammals and birds. In eutherian mammals, UCP1 is a key protein in adaptive nonshivering thermogenesis (NST). Although ucp1 arose early in the vertebrate lineage, the loss of ucp1 was previously documented in several reptile species (including birds). Here we determine that ucp1 was lost at the base of the reptile lineage, as we fail to find ...
متن کاملNot all mitochondrial carrier proteins support permeability transition pore formation: no involvement of uncoupling protein 1
The mPTP (mitochondrial permeability transition pore) is a non-specific channel that is formed in the mitochondrial inner membrane in response to several stimuli, including elevated levels of matrix calcium. The pore is proposed to be composed of the ANT (adenine nucleotide translocase), voltage-dependent anion channel and cyclophilin D. Knockout studies, however, have demonstrated that ANT is ...
متن کاملCysteine residues are not essential for uncoupling protein function.
The uncoupling protein (UCP) of brown adipose tissue is a regulated proton carrier which allows uncoupling of mitochondrial respiration from ATP synthesis and, therefore, dissipation of metabolic energy as heat. In this article we demonstrate that, when UCP is expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it retains all its functional properties: proton and chloride transport, high-affinity binding of...
