Abstract
Mitochondria isolated from bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) hypocotyl homogenates incorporate radioactive glycine, glutamic acid, and aspartic acid into the mitochondrial protein. This incorporation is greatly increased in the presence of adenylate and Krebs cycle intermediates, and inhibited by cyanide, dinitrophenol, or anaerobiosis. The need for adenylate and a Krebs cycle intermediate can be replaced by adenosinetriphos-phate (ATP). This ATP stimulated incorporation is insensitive to cyanide. It is concluded that the ATP produced during respiration may participate actively in the turnover of amino acids in mitochondrial protein.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
