Abstract:

Oxygen uptake in human placental mitochondria was stimulated by ATP addition. ATP-induced respiration was supported by malate, alpha-keto glutarate, and succinate, and inhibited by oligomycin and carboxytractyloside. This phenomenon was not caused by contamination with unspecific phosphatases or alkaline phosphatase, since NaF, L-phenyl alanine, or P1, P5-di-(adenosine-5') pentaphosphate failed to inhibit oxygen uptake induced by ATP. The stimulation of respiration was caused by an ATPase activity tightly bound to mitochondria, which yields ADP that is responsible for the oxygen uptake. The stimulation was not an uncoupling effect because ATP addition produced a transition between state 3 and 4 of respiration, indicating that ATP was not released from mitochondria.
