This study examines the functional implications of postnatal changes in the expression of the mitochondrial transporter protein, 2-oxoglutarate-malate carrier (OMC). Online (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance ((13)C NMR) measurements of isotope kinetics in hearts from neonate (3-4 days) and adult rabbits provided tricarboxylic acid cycle flux rates and flux rates through OMC. Neonate and adult hearts oxidizing 2.5 mM [2,4-(13)C(2)]butyrate were subjected to either normal or high cytosolic redox state (2.5 mM lactate) conditions to evaluate the recruitment of malate-aspartate activity and the resulting OMC flux. During development from neonate (3-4 days) to adult, mitochondrial protein density in the heart increased from 19 +/- 3% to 31 +/- 2%, whereas OMC expression decreased by 65% per mitochondrial protein content (P < 0.05). Correspondingly, OMC flux was lower in adults hearts than in neonates by 73% (neonate = 7. 4 +/- 0.4, adult = 2.0 +/- 0.1 micromol/min per 100 mg mitochondrial protein; P < 0.05). Despite clear changes in OMC content and flux, the responsiveness of the malate-aspartate shuttle to increased cytosolic NADH was similar in both adults and neonates with an approximate threefold increase in OMC flux (in densitometric units/100 mg mitochondrial protein: neonate = 25.8 +/- 2.5, adult = 6.0 +/- 0.2; P < 0.05). The (13)C NMR data demonstrate that OMC activity is a principal component of the rate of labeling of glutamate.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
