Thermogenic skunk cabbage has been reported to have two types of uncoupling protein (UCP), a typical 6-transmembrane (TM) SrUCPA and an atypical 5-TM SrUCPB. To verify further the role of SrUCPs in thermogenic skunk cabbage, we examined the molecular identity of SrUCPs in more detail. Both mRNA and genomic analyses supported the presence of SrUCPA, but not SrUCPB. Furthermore, SrUCP protein pur...

The evidence for the operation of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in the metabolism of plant mitochondria has been based mostly on studies of oxidative activity. The oxidation of diand tricarboxylic acids of the cycle was demonstrated in a variety of tissues, such as etiolated seedlings of mung bean (22), pea (10, 31), Avena (32), and Black Valentine bean (4), lupin cotyledons (7), castor-bean end...
