Coupling-control efficiency

Description

Coupling control capacities, CCC, are flux control capacities, FCC, at a constant ETS-competent substrate state. In mitochondrial preparations, there are three well-defined coupling states of respiration, L, P, E (LEAK, OXPHOS, ETS). In intact cells, state P cannot be induced, but a ROUTINE state of respiration, R, can be measured.

1. If the metabolic control variable, X, is an uncoupler, the reference state Z is E. Then two background states, Y, of coupling control are possible: The uncoupler may act on the L or P state in mt-preparations, and on the L or R state in intact cells. The corresponding coupling control capacities are:

2. If the metablic control variable is stimulation by ADP, D, or release of an inhibitor of phosphorylation of ADP to ATP (DT-phosphorylation; e.g. -Omy), the reference state Z is P in mt-preparations at saturating [[[ADP]]], or R in intact cells at physiologically controlled steady states of [ADP] and ATP-turnover. The background state Y is L, and the corresponding coupling control capacities are:
