Article Abstract

The exchange between external [14C] malonate and internal malate or phosphate was reconstituted in liposomes prepared by incorporation of a Triton-extract of mitochondrial rat-liver inner membranes. The conditions of transport were investigated and the kinetic parameters of malonate-malate and malonate-phosphate exchanges were determined. The exchange was sensitive to butylmalonate and to organomercurials. Sulfate and phosphate decreased the rate of malonate-malate exchange and phosphate inhibition was found to be competitive. This report demonstrates the possibility to reconstitute a functional dicarboxylate transport and to use the system for further purification and for studies at the molecular level.

Proteomics of bovine mitochondrial RNA-binding proteins: HES1/KNP-I is a new mitochondrial resident protein.

J Proteome Res

Department of Metabolism and Department of Structural Biology and Biochemistry, Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute, Toronto M5G 1X8, Ontario, Canada.

Proteomic analysis of bovine mitochondrial proteins with affinity to polyAdenylate or polyUridylate was performed in an effort to identify novel RNA-binding mitochondrial proteins. We have used 2D gel electrophoresis and MALDI-QqTOF mass spectrometry to identify a total of 64 proteins, of which 51 have defined mitochondrial function including 6 known RNA-binding proteins. HES1/KNP-I from the polyA-binding fraction of mitochondrial Triton extract showed exclusive mitochondrial localization when expressed in GFP-tagged form.

Synaptic vesicles were isolated from adult bovine cortical gray matter by differential centrifugation and membrane filtration of a hypoosmotically lysed crude mitochondrial fraction. Vesicle preparations were analyzed for purity by electron microscopy and enzyme assays. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of SDS-solubilized and 2-mercaptoethanol-reduced vesicle membrane proteins revealed 4 major proteins with molecular weights ranging from 17,000 to 60,000, and about 10 minor proteins with molecular weights up to 170,000.

1. The oligomycin-sensitive ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles of the glycerol-grown "petite-negative" yeast: Schizosaccharomyces pombe is markedly stimulated by incubation at 40 degrees C and by trypsin activations are treatment. Both increased in Triton-X 100 extracts of the submitochondrial particles.
