Ion Transport Induced by Polycations and its Relationship to Loose Coupling of Corn Mitochondria 1

RESUMO
Treatment of corn mitochondria (Zea mays L., WF9 (Tms) × M14) with polycations (protamine, pancreatic ribonuclease, or polylysine) releases acceptorless respiration if phosphate is present. Concurrently, there is extensive active swelling which is reversed when respiration is uncoupled or stopped. Mersalyl, the phosphate transport inhibitor, blocks both the release of respiration and the active swelling. Diversion of energy into phosphate transport lowers respiratory control and ADP: O ratios. This response is termed “loose coupling” in distinction to “uncoupling” in which energy is made unavailable for either transport or ATP formation. Corn mitochondria as used here are endogenously loose coupled to some extent, and show state 4 respiration linked to active transport.
