title: The influence of adenine nucleotides and oxidizable substrates on triethyltin-mediated chloride uptake by rat liver mitochondria in potassium chloride media.
abstract: In a 100 mM-KCl medium, pH 6.8, containing ATP increasing concentrations of triethyltin cause an uptake of Cl- into mitochondria with a maximum at 1 muM. This can be inhibited by atractylate or oligomycin, but is virtually unaffected by the presence of rotenone. When the medium contains substrate (pyruvate, beta-hydroxybutyrate or succinate), both in the presence and absence of adenine nucleotides, Cl- uptake is greater with a maximum at 1-10 muM-triethyltin. If substrate oxidation is blocked by respiratory-chain inhibitors the Cl- uptake mediated by triethyltin is inhibited except in the media containing ATP, when the characteristics of Cl- uptake similar to that found in the medium containing ATP alone are observed. Under all conditions tested Cl- uptake is decreased by the presence of 2,4-dinitrophenol. It is concluded that energy from either the oxidation of substrate or the hydrolysis of ATP is associated with the generation of sufficient OH- to enable the triethyltin-mediated Cl-/OH- exchange to occur under the metabolic conditions relevant to this action of triethyltin.
