Inhibitory effect of sterigmatocystin and 5,6-dimethoxysterigmatocystin on ATP synthesis in mitochondria. 1984

K Kawai, and T Nakamaru, and Y Nozawa, and Y Maebayashi, and M Yamazaki, and S Natori

The inhibitory effects of sterigmatocystin, O-methylsterigmatocystin, and 5,6-dimethoxysterigmatocystin on the ATP synthesis system in mitochondria were compared with that of aflatoxin B1, which disturbs the respiratory chain in mitochondria. Sterigmatocystin and 5,6-dimethoxysterigmatocystin were found to uncouple the oxidative phosphorylation process without causing depression of state 3 respiration. O-Methylsterigmatocystin did not exhibit uncoupling activity at the limited concentrations tested (due to its low solubility in an aqueous system). These compounds, as well as aflatoxin B1, elicited neither pseudo-energized nor energized swelling of mitochondria and did not inhibit Ca2+-induced swelling of mitochondria.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.
