pubmed:abstractText
The outer mitochondrial membrane pore at a voltage above 20 to 30 mV can adopt a state of low conductance which may restrict free permeability of mitochondrial substrates. In order to obtain insight into the physiological meaning of this property we took advantage of the fact that the low conductance pore state could be induced by a polyanion in lipid bilayer membranes as well as in intact mitochondria. Upon reconstitution in artificial bilayers the pore in this substate became exclusively cation selective when the polarity of the applied voltage was negative on the cis-side. This behaviour of the pore would explain why induction of the low conductance pore state in intact mitochondria led to a complete inhibition of mitochondrial intermembranous kinases, such as creatine kinase and adenylate kinase, but not of peripheral kinases, for example hexokinase, when utilizing external ATP. The possibility that the inner membrane potential might be transduced to the outer membrane in the contact sites, suggests the existence of cation selective pores in these sites. This aspect may be important in the regulation of peripheral kinases like creatine kinase, nucleoside diphosphate kinase and adenylate kinase which are located behind the outer mitochondrial membrane.
