چکیده

The phosphate inhibition of succinate-powered contraction in corn mitochondria can be reversed with calcium. Associated with this reversal is an accumulation of phosphate and calcium. Both ions are essential for accumulation, although strontium will partially substitute for calcium. Arsenate does not substitute for phosphate except in producing the inhibition of contraction.The antibiotics oligomycin and aurovertin do not block the phosphate inhibition of contraction or the calcium-activated phosphate uptake associated with the release of the inhibition. Dinitrophenol uncouples the phosphate uptake but permits full contraction.Calcium promotes inorganic phosphate accumulation in root tissue as well as in mitochondria.The results are discussed from the viewpoint of theories of calcium reaction with high energy intermediates of oxidative phosphorylation. It is concluded that calcium probably reacts with X approximately P in corn mitochondria, rather than with X approximately I as with animal mitochondria.

Inhibition of postoxidative calcium release in corn mitochondria by inorganic phosphate.

Respiration drives the accumulation of a small amount of calcium in corn (Zea mays L.) mitochondria, and this calcium is released when respiration ceases. A postenergized addition of phosphate leads to phosphate uptake and enhaced calcium retention. Oligomycin, KCN, 2,4-dinitrophenol, or mersalyl are without effect on the phosphate-induced calcium retention. Addition of phosphate also inhibits ...

Uncoupling of energy-linked functions of corn mitochondria by linoleic Acid and monomethyldecenylsuccinic Acid.

Linoleic acid and monomethyldecenylsuccinic acid were tested as uncoupling agents for energy linked functions of corn mitochondria. 2,4-dinitrophenol was used as a standard for comparison. Both compounds uncoupled oxidative phosphorylation, released oligomycin-blocked respiration, and accelerated adenosine triphosphatase. Linoleic acid uncoupled calcium-activated phosphate accumulation and the ...

Energy-linked Adenosine Diphosphate Accumulation by Corn Mitochondria: II. Phosphate and Divalent Cation Requirement.

The requirement for phosphate and Mg(2+) in energy-linked [(3)H] ADP accumulation by corn mitochondria has been studied. Arsenate will fully substitute for phosphate; sulfate partially substitutes; acetate, bicarbonate, and pyrophosphate are ineffective. Phosphate is also taken up by the mitochondria, but the ADP/Pi ratio varies widely with experimental treatments. ADP does not exchange with en...

Helminthosporium maydis T Toxin Decreased Calcium Transport into Mitochondria of Susceptible Corn.

The effects of purified Helminthosporium maydis T (HmT) toxin on active Ca(2+) transport into isolated mitochondria and microsomal vesicles were compared for a susceptible (T) and a resistant (N) strain of corn (Zea mays). ATP, malate, NADH, or succinate could drive (45)Ca(2+) transport into mitochondria of corn roots. Ca(2+) uptake was dependent on the proton electrochemical gradient generated...

Oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate by isolated corn mitochondria.

Isolated corn (Zea mays L.) mitochondria were found to oxidize reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate in a KCl reaction medium. This oxidation was dependent on the presence of calcium or phosphate or both. Strontium and manganese substituted for calcium, but magnesium or barium did not. The oxidation of NADPH produced contraction of mitochondria swollen in KCl. Further evidence tha...
