TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: L-Lactate metabolism in potato tuber mitochondria

We investigated the metabolism ofl-lactate in mitochondria isolated from potato tubers grown and saved after harvest in the absence of any chemical agents. Immunologic analysis by western blot using goat polyclonal anti-lactate dehydrogenase showed the existence of a mitochondrial lactate dehydrogenase, the activity of which could be measured photometrically only in mitochondria solubilized with Triton X-100. | ỊFEBS Journal L-Lactate metabolism in potato tuber mitochondria Gianluca Paventi Roberto Pizzuto Gabriella Chieppa and Salvatore Passarella Dipartimento di Scienze per la Salute Universita delMolise Campobasso Italy Keywords L-lactate L-lactate dehydrogenase mitochondrial transport plant mitochondria shuttle Correspondence S.

Immunologic analysis by western blot using goat polyclonal antilactate dehydrogenase showed the existence of a mitochondrial lactate dehydrogenase the activity of which could be measured photometrically only in mitochondria solubilized with Triton X-100. The addition of L-lac-tate to potato tuber mitochondria caused a a minor reduction of intra-mitochondrial pyridine nucleotides whose measured rate of change increased in the presence of the inhibitor of the alternative oxidase salicyl hydroxamic acid b oxygen consumption not stimulated by ADP but inhibited by salicyl hydroxamic acid and c activation of the alternative oxidase as polarographically monitored in a manner prevented by oxamate an L-lactate dehydrogenase inhibitor. Potato tuber mitochondria were shown to swell in isosmotic solutions of ammonium L-lactate in a stereospecific manner thus showing that L-lactate enters mitochondria by a proton-compensated process. Externally added L-lactate caused the appearance of pyruvate outside mitochondria thus contributing to the oxidation of extramitochondrial NADH. The rate of pyruvate efflux showed a sigmoidal dependence on L-lactate concentration and was inhibited by phenylsuccinate. Hence potato tuber .
