Yeast mitochondria have generally been believed not to undergo the permeability transition (PT) by the accumulation of Ca(2+) within the mitochondrial matrix, unlike mammalian mitochondria. However, the reason why the yeast PT is not induced by Ca(2+) has remained obscure. In this study, we examined in detail the effects of Ca(2+) on yeast mitochondria under various conditions. As a result, we discovered that the PT could be induced even in yeast mitochondria by externally added Ca(2+) under optimized experimental conditions. The 2 essential parameters for proper observation of the PT-inducing effects of Ca(2+) were the concentrations of the respiratory substrate and that of inorganic phosphate (Pi) in the incubation medium. The yeast mitochondrial PT induced by Ca(2+) was found to be insensitive to cyclosporin A and suppressed in the presence of a high concentration of Pi. Furthermore, when the PT was induced in yeast mitochondria by Ca(2+), the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria was also observed.
与哺乳动物线粒体不同,一般认为酵母线粒体不会因线粒体基质内Ca(2+)的积累而发生通透性转换(PT)。然而,酵母PT不受Ca(2+)诱导的原因仍不清楚。在本研究中,我们详细研究了在各种条件下Ca(2+)对酵母线粒体的影响。结果发现,在优化的实验条件下,通过外部添加Ca(2+),即使在酵母线粒体中也能诱导PT。正确观察Ca(2+)诱导PT效应的两个关键参数是呼吸底物的浓度和孵育培养基中无机磷酸盐(Pi)的浓度。发现由Ca(2+)诱导的酵母线粒体PT对环孢菌素A不敏感,并且在高浓度Pi存在下受到抑制。此外,当Ca(2+)在酵母线粒体中诱导PT时,还观察到细胞色素c从线粒体中释放。
