Kinetic and regulatory aspects of the function of the alternative oxidase in plant respiration

Abstract

The kinetic modelling of the respiratory network in plant mitochondria is discussed, with emphasis on the importance of the choice of boundary conditions, and of modelling of both quinol-oxidising and quinone-reducing pathways. This allows quantitative understanding of the interplay between the different pathways, and of the functioning of the plant respiratory network in terms of the kinetic properties of its component parts. The effects of activation of especially succinate dehydrogenase and the cyanide-insensitive alternative oxidase are discussed. Phenomena, such as respiratory control ratios depending on the substrate, shortcomings of the Bahr and Bonner model for electron distribution between the oxidases and reversed respiratory control, are explained. The relation to metabolic control analysis of the respiratory network is discussed in terms of top-down analysis.
