Chloride-dependent restoration of coupling by oligomycin in rat liver mitochondria.


ABSTRACT: In rat liver mitochondria suspended in KC1 medium, oligomycin interfered with the effect of uncouplers on energy conservation. It antagonized the effect of uncouplers that are weak acids (2,4-dinitrophenol etc.), but enhanced that of the lipid-penetrating cation NN-dimethyl-N'N'-dibenzylammonium. Oligomycin caused none of the above effects when Br- or NO-/3 was substituted for C1- as the major anionic species in the assay medium. The concentration of oligomycin that exerted the above-mentioned effects was lower than that necessary for the inhibition of energy transfer, but was in the range that induced C1- permeation through the cristae membrane. The possible connexion between the effect of oligomycin on C1- permeation and its interference with the action of uncouplers is discussed.
