Presentation Transcript


  1. ATP synthesis : The F1F0-ATPase

  2. Hypotheses on the mechanism of ATP synthesis in mitochondria: “Substrate level phosphorylation” -- coupling of ATP synthesis to an enzymatic reaction (as in glycolysis--requires a high-energy phosphate bond) Stress membrane conformation -- evidence: differences in membrane structure in mitochondria when provided substrate (pyruvate) or not “Chemiosmotic hypothesis” (Peter Mitchell): H+ passage across membrane powers ATP synthesis

  3. ATP synthesis depends on a peripheral membrane protein Inner mitochondrial (inside-out) vesicles capable of ATP synthesis--note the headpiece of the “F0F1 ATPase” (ATP synthase) Removal of the headpieces gives vesicles that can’t make ATP Adding purified headpieces re- stores the ability to make ATP

  4. AO AO AO AO AO AO AO Add ATP AO+ AO+ AO+ H+ AO+ AO+ ATP ADP + Pi

  5. Light H+ Bacteriorhodopsin H+ H+ H+ Add ADP H+ H+ H+ H+ ADP + Pi ATP H+

  6. Uncouplers — compounds that permeabilize the mitochondrial inner membrane to H+ inhibit ATP synthesis (and allow rapid oxidation of NADH and substrates like pyruvate) cytosol FCCP intermembrane space FCCP FCCP-H+ matrix H+ H+ H+ H+ H+ H+ (FCCP: carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone)

  7. Note the rotor (base) and stator (head) and rotation F1 F0 Hypothesis: ADP + Pi ATP + H2O occurs on head; H+ flow turns rotor; rotor/rotation stimulates ATP release

  13. Electron input at Complex II FAD: expect 1.5 ATP/NADH

  14. Malate-aspartate shuttle (animals and plants) How much ATP/NADH?
