Composition and amount of 45Ca2+-binding proteins in the inner membrane fraction of rat liver and Zajdela hepatoma mitochondria were determined. In the inner membrane of liver mitochondria, three major 45Ca2+-binding polypeptides: a protein of approximately 130 kDa (carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase), a glycoprotein of 43-44 kDa (previously considered as the calcium uniporter), and 29-30 kDa protein were found. These components were absent (130 kDa component) or relatively reduced (43-44 kDa and 29-30 kDa components) in the inner membrane of hepatoma mitochondria. Previously unknown low molecular mass polypeptides, having very high Ca2+-binding ability, were found in the inner membrane of hepatoma mitochondria. One of them might be the natural Ca2+-binding inhibitor of H+-ATPase.

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.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides

D006528 Carcinoma, Hepatocellular A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.
