Regulated and unregulated mitochondrial permeability transition pores: a new paradigm of pore structure and function?

He, Lihua, Lemasters, John J·2002·FEBS Letters

Abstract

Cyclosporin A (CsA) inhibits the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), but not always. To characterize the CsA‐sensitive and ‐insensitive MPT, rat liver mitochondria were exposed to low and high doses of various MPT inducers. Mitochondrial swelling, cyclophilin D membrane binding and permeability transition (PT) pore diameter were measured. The results indicate two conductance modes for the PT pore: one activated by Ca 2+ and inhibited by CsA and Mg 2+ and the other unregulated. We propose a new model of pore formation and gating in which PT pores form by aggregation of misfolded integral membrane proteins damaged by oxidant and other stresses. Chaperone‐like proteins initially block conductance through these misfolded protein clusters; however, increased Ca 2+ opens these regulated PT pores, an effect blocked by CsA. When protein clusters exceed chaperones available to block conductance, unregulated pore opening occurs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
