Phosphate-induced Stimulation of Acceptorless Respiration in Corn Mitochondria 1

RESUMO

By use of the organic mercurial mersalyl to block phosphate transport, it has been shown that only a small fraction of the respiratory increase of corn mitochondria in response to additions of inorganic phosphate is due to energy expended in phosphate accumulation. Most of the respiratory release occurs from accelerated turnover of the coupling mechanism with internal phosphate in an oligomycin-sensitive reaction. Addition of ADP to mersalyl-blocked mitochondria depletes internal phosphate in ATP formation and respiration declines. Arsenate produces the same responses as phosphate but is more effective in respiratory release.
