Abstract

The energy-transducing mechanism of the thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus acidocaldarius DSM 639 has been studied, addressing the question whether chemiosmotic proton gradients serve as an intermediate energy store driving an F0F1-analogous ATP synthase. At pH 3.5, respiring S. acidocaldarius cells developed an electrochemical potential of H+ ions, consisting mainly of a proton gradient and a small inside-negative membrane potential. The steady-state proton motive force of 140 to 160 mV was collapsed by protonophores, while N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) caused a hyperpolarization of the membrane, as expected for a reagent commonly used to inhibit the flux through proton channels of F0F1-type ATP synthases. Cellular ATP content was strongly related to the proton motive force generated by respiration and declined rapidly, either by uncoupling or by action of DCCD, which in turn induced a marked respiratory control effect. This observation strongly supports the operation of chemiosmotic ATP synthesis with H+ as the coupling ion. The inhibition of ATP synthesis by [14C]DCCD was correlated with covalent reactions with membrane proteins. The extraction of labeled membranes with organic solvents specifically yielded ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.
