Uncoupling proteins: Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) occur ![]() Respiratory control and is the consequence of the tight coupling of theseĬ. This dependency ofĬellular respiration on the ability to phosphorylate ADP to ATP is known as Pumping any more protons against the steep gradients. Presence of this drug, electron transport stops because of the difficulty of Because the pH and electrical gradients cannot be dissipated in the Reentry of protons into the matrix, thereby preventing phosphorylation of ADP Letter “o”) domain of ATP synthase, closing the proton channel and preventing Oligomycin: This drug binds to the F o (hence the I and, consequently, an increase in NADH-producing pathways of metabolism, suchī. [Note: Increased oxidation of NADH at Complex Electron transport and proton pumping by the ETC increase Hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi in energy-requiring reactions increases theĪvailability of substrates for ATP synthase and, thus, increases proton flow Increasing (orĭecreasing) one process has the same effect on the other. Is coupled to electron transport through the proton gradient. Coupling in oxidative phosphorylation: In normal mitochondria, ATP synthesis [Note: The rotation of the ring of c subunits in the F o domain results in conformational changes in the β subunits of the F 1 domain that allow phosphorylation of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Isolated enzyme can catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi.]įigure 6.14 ATP synthase (F 1F o-ATPase). [Note: ATP synthase is also called F 1/Fo-ATPase because the Of the inner mitochondrial membrane, they reenter the matrix by passing throughĪ proton channel in the F o domain, driving rotation of the c ring ofį o and, at the same time, dissipating the pH and electrical gradients.į o rotation causes conformational changes in the β subunits of the F 1ĭomain that allow them to bind ADP + Pi, phosphorylate ADP to ATP, and releaseĪTP. Hypothesis proposes that after protons have been pumped to the cytosolic side Protrudes into the mitochondrial matrix (see Figure 6.13). ItĬontains a domain (F o) that spans the inner mitochondrial membrane,Īnd an extramembranous domain (F 1) that appears as a sphere that See Figure 6.14) synthesizes ATP using the energy of the proton gradient.

TheĮnergy generated by this proton gradient is sufficient to drive ATP synthesis. Of the membrane is at a lower pH than the inside) as shown in Figure 6.13.

Hypothesis (also known as the Mitchell hypothesis) explains how the free energy However, theįlow of electrons does not directly result in ATP synthesis.
