  • Title: Specific and reversible activation and inactivation of the mitochondrial phosphate carrier by cardiolipin and nonionic detergents, respectively.
    Author: Mende P, Hüther FJ, Kadenbach B.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1983 Jul 25; 158(2):331-4. PubMed ID: 6873287.
    Abstract:
    The phosphate carrier of pig heart mitochondria was solubilized with Triton X-100 and purified by chromatography on hydroxylapatite. Incubation of the phosphate carrier fraction with cardiolipin stimulated the reconstituted [32P]phosphate exchange activity in liposomes, whereas increased Triton X-100 concentrations inhibited it. The effects of cardiolipin and Triton X-100 are reversible. The activation by cardiolipin is highly specific and could not be obtained with any other applied phospholipid.
