title: Effects of adenine nucleotide translocase inhibitors on dinitrophenol-induced Ca2+ efflux from pig heart mitochondria.
abstract: Bongkrekic acid and atractyloside, inhibitors of adenine nucleotide translocase, do not inhibit Ca2+ uptake and H+ production by pig heart mitochondria. However, bongkrekic acid, but not atractyloside, inhibits dinitrophenol-induced Ca2+ efflux and H+ uptake. Conversely, ruthenium red blocks Ca2+ uptake and H+ production but does not prevent dinitrophenol-induced Ca2+ efflux and H+ uptake by mitochondria. These results suggest that mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake and release exist as two independent pathways. The efflux of Ca2+ from mitochondria is mediated by a bongkrekic acid sensitive component which is apparently not identical to the ruthenium red sensitive Ca2+ uptake carrier.
