1. The inhibition of the ADP-stimulated respiration of potato mitochondria by carboxyatractyloside is relieved by high concentration of ADP or by the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP). Atractyloside is a much less potent inhibitor than carboxyatractyloside. The
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
ATP hydrolysis, triggered by the addition of polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether (Lubrol) or lauryldimethylamine oxide (LDAO) to energized plant mitochondria was studied in some details. The membrane disruption was quasi-instantaneous (2-3 s) with both detergents, as shown by the decrease of turbidity
Aspergillus fumigatus is an unusual pathogen in immunocompetent individuals; its incidence has increased in the last decades in patients immunocompromised, like those with chronic granulomatosis disease and AIDS. The aim of this study was to identify differences between the respiratory chain of host
Regulation of succinate dehydrogenase was investigated using tightly coupled potato tuber mitochondria in a novel fashion by simultaneously measuring the oxygen uptake rate and the ubiquinone (Q) reduction level. We found that the activation level of the enzyme is unambiguously reflected by the
