Q-junction

Description

Q-junction

The Q-junction is a junction for convergent electron flow in the electron transfer system (ETS) from type N substrates through Complex I (CI), from succinate (S) through Complex II (CII), from type F substrates and FA oxidation through electron-transferring flavoprotein complex (CETF), from glycoreophosphate (Gp) thorughglycerophosphate dehydrogenase complex (CGpDH), from choline through choline dehydrogenase, from dihydro-orotate through dihydro-orotate dehydrogenase, and other enzyme complexes into the Q-cycle (ubiquinol/ubiquinone), and further downstream to Complex III (CIII) and CIV. The concept of the Q-junction, with the N-junction and F-junction upstream, provides the rationale for defining categories of SUIT protocols.

Convergent NS-linked electron flow at the Q-junction, exerting an additive effect on flux, versus electron gaiting for separation of single N- and S-input pathways (upper panel: Gnaiger 2009; lower panel: Hatefi 1962 J Biol Chem-XLII). Modified Fig. 1.5 in Gnaiger 2014 MitoPathways.
