The present work examined whether the ATP/ADP carrier, other than the plant uncoupling mitochondrial protein, participates in free fatty acid-mediated uncoupling of potato tuber mitochondria. The basal respiration rate of succinate-energized mitochondria was stimulated by a low concentration of palmitate (20 microM). This uncoupling was reversed by 10 microM carboxyatractyloside and by the subsequent addition of 0.1% bovine serum albumin. The decrease in membrane potential caused by palmitate was suppressed by carboxyatractyloside (1 microM) and, to a lesser degree, by bongkrekate (20 microM). GTP could also reversed this decrease via a carboxyatractyloside-independent mechanism. These results indicate that the ATP/ADP carrier, along with the plant uncoupling mitochondrial protein, participates in the protonophoric action of palmitate in potato tuber mitochondria.
本研究探讨了除植物解偶联线粒体蛋白外,ATP/ADP载体是否参与游离脂肪酸介导的马铃薯块茎线粒体解偶联过程。低浓度棕榈酸(20微摩尔)刺激了琥珀酸供能的线粒体的基础呼吸速率。10微摩尔羧基苍术苷以及随后添加0.1%牛血清白蛋白可逆转这种解偶联。棕榈酸引起的膜电位降低被1微摩尔羧基苍术苷抑制,20微摩尔膨润酸在较小程度上也有抑制作用。GTP也可通过一种不依赖羧基苍术苷的机制逆转这种降低。这些结果表明,ATP/ADP载体与植物解偶联线粒体蛋白一起,参与了棕榈酸在马铃薯块茎线粒体中的质子载体作用。
