Fumarate is a terminal electron acceptor in the mammalian electron transport chain
Open accessAbstract
For electrons to continuously enter and flow through the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), they must ultimately land on a terminal electron acceptor (TEA), which is known to be oxygen in mammals. Paradoxically, we find that complex I and dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) can still deposit electrons into the ETC when oxygen reduction is impeded. Cells lacking oxygen reduction accumulate ubiquinol, driving the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) complex in reverse to enable electron deposition onto fumarate. Upon inhibition of oxygen reduction, fumarate reduction sustains DHODH and complex I activities. Mouse tissues display varying capacities to use fumarate as a TEA, most of which net reverse the SDH complex under hypoxia. Thus, we delineate a circuit of electron flow in the mammalian ETC that maintains mitochondrial functions under oxygen limitation.

In the citing paper
“For example, ETC inhibition, which prevents cells from using molecular oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor, can force the SDH complex to operate in reverse, reducing fumarate to produce succinate (129).”
From Regulation and function of the mammalian tricarboxylic acid cycle (2023) · cites this paper as [129]
In the citing paper
“By siphoning electrons onto fumarate, reverse SDH activity allows the ETC to continue to accept electrons from other oxidation reactions, such as that catalyzed by dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, which is critical for nucleotide biosynthesis (129).”

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.
