Coupling-control ratio

Description

Coupling-control ratios, CCR, are flux control ratios, FCR, at a constant mitochondrial pathway-control state. In mitochondrial preparations, there are three well-defined coupling states of respiration, L, P, E (LEAK, OXPHOS, Electron transfer pathway). In living cells, the OXPHOS state cannot be induced, but a ROUTINE state of respiration, R, can be measured. The reference state, J_ref, is defined by taking J_ref as the maximum flux, i.e. flux in the ET state, E, such that the lower and upper limits of the CCR are defined as 0.0 and 1.0. Then there are two mitochondrial CCR, L/E and P/E, and two CCR for living cells, L/E and R/E.

Coupling-control ratios related to free capacities

• L/P coupling control ratio, L/P

Free OXPHOS capacity, ≈P = P-L

OXPHOS-coupling efficiency, j_≈P = ≈P/P = 1-L/P

• L/R coupling control ratio, L/R

Free ROUTINE activity, ≈R = R-L

ROUTINE coupling efficiency, j_≈R = ≈R/R = 1-L/R

• LEAK-control ratio, L/E

Free ET capacity, ≈E = E-L

ET-coupling efficiency, j_≈E = ≈E/E = 1-L/E

• netOXPHOS-control ratio, ≈P/E=(P-L)/E

Free OXPHOS capacity, ≈P = P-L

• NetROUTINE control ratio, ≈R/E=(R-L)/E

Free ROUTINE activity, ≈R = R-L

Coupling-control ratios related to excess capacities

• OXPHOS-control ratio, P/E

Excess E-P capacity, ExP = E-P

Excess E-P capacity factor, j_ExP = ExP/E = 1-P/E

• ROUTINE-control ratio, R/E

Excess E-R capacity, ExR = E-R

Excess E-R capacity factor, j_ExR = ExR/E = 1-R/E
