It was demonstrated that under certain experimental conditions the P/O ratio of oleate-treated mitochondria in hypotonic media at low pH values is sharply decreased irrespective of high ADP/O values. This is probably due to a drastic fall in the ionic permeability of membranes induced by ADP. The effect observed is due to ADP (ATP) interaction with nucleotide translocase, since atractyloside eliminates the effect of ADP on the ionic permeability. It was demonstrated that nucleotide translocase is immediately involved in regulation of the functioning of the oxidative phosphorylation system of mitochondria.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007477	Ions	An atom or group of atoms that have a positive or negative electric charge due to a gain (negative charge) or loss (positive charge) of one or more electrons. Atoms with a positive charge are known as CATIONS; those with a negative charge are ANIONS.
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
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.

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.
