title: [Effective diameter of pores in rat liver mitochondria inner membrane and selectivity of transport of monovalent cations with a submicromolar concentration of Ca2+ ions or A23187 and EDTA].
abstract: Studies of swelling of rat liver mitochondria in isoosmotic solutions of nonelectrolytes in the presence of respiration inhibitors revealed that submicromolar concentrations of Ca2+ increase the diameter of pores in the inner mitochondrial membrane--from 5.5-6.0 A (10(-8) M Ca2+) up to 7.5 A (3 x 10(-7) M Ca2+) and 8.0-8.5 A (6 x 10(-7) M Ca2+); these increases are prevented by cyclosporin A. The inner mitochondrial membrane with an effective pore diameter of 7.5 A is readily permeable for potassium but not for sodium ions, although with an increase in the effective pore diameter up to 8.0-8.5 A the selectivity of the K(+)-Na+ channel decreases. A conclusion is drawn that in the presence of submicromolar concentrations of Ca2+ the conductivity of the cyclosporin-sensitive pore for monovalent cations increases in the following order: K > Na > Li.
