The creatine/phosphocreatine circuit provides an efficient energy buffering and transport system in a variety of cells with high and fluctuating energy requirements. It connects sites of energy production (mitochondria, glycolysis) with sites of energy consumption (various cellular ATPases). The cellular creatine/phosphocreatine pool is linked to the ATP/ADP pool by the action of different isoforms of creatine kinase located at distinct subcellular compartments. Octameric mitochondrial creatine kinase (MtCK), together with porin and adenine nucleotide translocase, forms a microcompartment at contact sites between inner and outer mitochondrial membranes and facilitates the production and export into the cytosol of phosphocreatine. MtCK is probably in direct protein-protein contact with outer membrane porin, whereas interaction with inner membrane adenine nucleotide translocase is rather mediated by acidic phopholipids (like cardiolipin) present in significant amounts in the inner membrane. Octamer-dimer transitions of MtCK as well as different creatine kinase substrates have a profound influence on controlling mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). Inactivation by reactive oxygen species of MtCK and destabilization of its octameric structure are factors that contribute to impairment of energy homeostasis and facilitated opening of the MPT pore, which eventually lead to tissue damage during periods of ischemia/reperfusion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D010539 Permeability Property of membranes and other structures to permit passage of light, heat, gases, liquids, metabolites, and mineral ions. Permeabilities
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D003402 Creatine Kinase A transferase that catalyzes formation of PHOSPHOCREATINE from ATP + CREATINE. The reaction stores ATP energy as phosphocreatine. Three cytoplasmic ISOENZYMES have been identified in human tissues: the MM type from SKELETAL MUSCLE, the MB type from myocardial tissue and the BB type from nervous tissue as well as a mitochondrial isoenzyme. Macro-creatine kinase refers to creatine kinase complexed with other serum proteins.

D000226 Mitochondrial ADP, ATP Translocases A class of nucleotide translocases found abundantly in mitochondria that function as integral components of the inner mitochondrial membrane. They facilitate the exchange of ADP and ATP between the cytosol and the mitochondria, thereby linking the subcellular compartments of ATP production to those of ATP utilization.

D018272 Porins Porins are protein molecules that were originally found in the outer membrane of GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA and that form multi-meric channels for the passive DIFFUSION of WATER; IONS; or other small molecules. Porins are present in bacterial CELL WALLS, as well as in plant, fungal, mammalian and other vertebrate CELL MEMBRANES and MITOCHONDRIAL MEMBRANES.
