Q

What is another name for complex two and what enters ETC through it?

A

Succinate-Q reductase and FADH2 enters it connects krebbs to oxphos. DOESN’T pump protons so less ATP from ox of FADH2

Q

What are the three postulates of the chemiosmotic theory?

A
  1. ETC translocates protons across IMS across the complexes
  2. ATP synthase uses proton motive force to drive phosphorylation of ADP
  3. Inner membrane is impermeable to H and OH ions, if cant be disrupted a pmf cant be established and ATP synthesis doesn’t occur
17
Q

What is another name for complex V?

A

ATP Synthase

18
Q

Describe structure of ATP synthase?

A

Ball and Stick structure
Fo subunit is stick embedded in the membrane with a proton channel anad the F1 subunit is a ball that protrudes into matrix side and contains catalytic domains

19
Q

How are the alpha and beta F1 subunits arranged?

A

alternately in a hexameric ring both bind nucleotides but only the beta are catalytically active

20
Q

What allows the proton gradient to be in close proximity to ATP synthase?

A

The Cristae

21
Q

What disrupts proton transport through the channel in ATP synthesis?

A

Oligomycin

22
Q

Are ATP/ADP permeable across mitochondrial membrabe?

A

No they need a carrier, an ATP-ADP translocase family which resides in the outer and inner mito membranes and works with mito carriers

23
Q

How does ATP and ADP flow into and out of matrix?

A

ADP enters matrix only if ATP leaves it. Known as complex 6

24
Q

What are the two shuttle systems for reduced NADH to cross mito. membrane?

A

Malate aspartate shuttle and Glycerophosphate shuttle

25
Where is the malate aspartate shuttle found?
Heart liver and kidneys and it generates NADH in mitochondrial matrix and NADH enters ETC at complex I
26
Where is the glycerophosphate shuttle found?
Skeletal muscle and brain. It generates FADH2 in the inner mitochondrial membrane FADH2 joins ETC at CoQ
27
How do levels of ATP regulate respiration?
Electrons only flow through the ETC when ADP is phosphorylated to ATP.
28
What is regulation by ADP called?
Respiratory control or acceptor control
29
What happens if Oxphos is inhibited?
Decrease in pumping of protons and a decrease in the protein gradient and inhibition of ATP synthesis because there is no PMF
30
In hibernating animals where does the uncoupling of oxphohs from ATP synthesis to generate heat occur?
in brown adipose tissue
31
How does uncoupilng and heat generation occur?
Inner mito membrane contains uncoupling protein UCP1 aka thermogenin which transfers protons from IMS to matrix. Energy converted to heat instead of ATP. UCP 2 and 3 also uncouple oxphos from ATP synthesis.
