  • Title: [Possible role of adenine nucleotide transport in regulating the respiration of rat liver mitochondria].
    Author: Konstantinov IuM, Liakhovich VV, Panov AV.
    Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1976 Feb; 81(2):166-8. PubMed ID: 1276407.
    Abstract:
    Studies with liver mitochondria from rats which starved for 48 hours showed the rate of ADP-stimulated respiration to be 20% lower than in the presence of an uncoupler. This effect was eliminated by preincubation of mitochondria with carnitine. Mitochondria from fed rats were characterized by a considerable decrease of states 3 and 4 respiration. In this case carnitine produced no effect. Preincubation of mitochondria from the liver of fed rats with alpha-ketoglutarate resulted in a substantial increase of the states 3 and 4 respiratory rates. There proved to exist at least two types of regulation of adenine nucleotide transport through the inner mitochondrial membrane depending on the metabolic state of the organism, i.e. by inhibition of adenine-nucleotide translocase by cytoplasmic acyl-CoAs and by control of intramitochondrial adenine nucleotide pool.
