Calcium transport and translocation of adenine nucleotides in mitochondria from Morris hepatoma 3924A. 1979

M L Eboli, and K Malmström, and T Galeotti, and L López-Alarcón, and E Carafoli

The interaction of Ca2+ with Morris hepatoma 3924A mitochondria and its effect on the adenine nucleotide translocation have been studied. The characteristics of the Ca2+ transport process in mitochondria from Morris hepatoma are not significantly different from those of normal liver mitochondria. The Km for Ca2+ is 2 to 3 microM, and the rate versus concentration curve exhibits hyperbolic kinetics. A lower activity of the adenine nucleotide translocation was found, probably due to the high endogenous Ca2+ content of Morris hepatoma mitochondria (123 +/- 15 nmol Ca2+ per mg protein). No further inhibition of the translocase activity was observed after isolated mitochondria had accumulated extra amounts of Ca2+. The total amount of adenine nucleotides in tumor mitochondria is one-half those present in control liver, and a significantly lower percentage of the pool is present as adenosine 5'-monophosphate.

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.

D008930 Mitochondria, Liver Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

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.
