Specific inhibition of the cyanide-insensitive respiratory pathway in plant mitochondria by hydroxamic acids.
Hydroxamic acids, R-CONHOH, are inhibitors specific to the respiratory pathway through the alternate, cyanide-insensitive terminal oxidase of plant mitochondria. The nature of the R group in these compounds affects the concentration at which the hydroxamic acids are effective, but it appears that all hydroxamic acids inhibit if high enough concentrations are used. The benzhydroxamic acids are e...
متن کاملInhibition by adenine derivatives of the cyanide-insensitive electron transport pathway of plant mitochondria.
The effect of benzylaminopurine was studied on cyanide-resistant mitochondria isolated from aged slices of potato tuber (Solanum tuberosum L. var. Bintje). Benzylaminopurine specifically acted on the cyanide-resistant alternative pathway. In the case of succinate oxidation, it mimicked the action of salicylhydroxamic acid and restored a good oxidative phosphorylation. Kinetic analyses showed th...
متن کاملDisulfiram inhibition of the alternative respiratory pathway in plant mitochondria.
Disulfiram (tetraethylthiuram disulfide) was found to be a potent and selective inhibitor of the alternative respiratory path of plant mitochondria. The onset of inhibition by disulfiram takes several minutes and the inhibition is not readily reversed by washing, nor by metal ions. By contrast, thiols such as dithiothreitol not only reverse, but also prevent, disulfiram inhibition. Inhibition b...
متن کاملMalate Oxidation in Plant Mitochondria via Malic Enzyme and the Cyanide-insensitive Electron Transport Pathway.
MALATE OXIDATION IN PLANT MITOCHONDRIA PROCEEDS THROUGH THE ACTIVITIES OF TWO ENZYMES: a malate dehydrogenase and a NAD(+)-dependent malic enzyme. In cauliflower, mitochondria malate oxidation via malate dehydrogenase is rotenone- and cyanide-sensitive. Addition of exogenous NAD(+) stimulates the oxidation of malate via malic enzyme and generates an electron flux that is both rotenone- and cyan...
متن کاملCyanide - insensitive Respiration in Plant Mitochondrial
Pathways of electron transport have been studied in mitochondria isolated from hypocotyls of etiolated mung bean seedlings and skunk cabbage spadices that show cyanide-resistant respiratory activity. The residual flux through cytochrome c oxidase is shown to be small in comparison with the flux through an unidentified alternative oxidase that is known to have a high affinity for oxygen. This al...
