The nonspecific inner membrane pore of liver mitochondria: modulation of cyclosporin sensitivity by ADP at carboxyatractyloside-sensitive and insensitive sites.
Cyclosporin A prevents the opening of a nonspecific pore in the inner membrane of liver mitochondria when added prior to Ca2+. In the presence of 10 microM Ca2+ cyclosporin is unable to close the pore and restore the original permeability unless ADP is also added. ADP acts at a high-affinity site (Km 5 microM), corresponding to the adenine nucleotide transporter. This effect of ADP is prevented and reversed by carboxyatractyloside. In the presence of carboxyatractyloside, cyclosporin added with higher concentrations of ADP (Km 70 microM) also can close the pore. This suggests that a lower-affinity ADP-binding component as well as cyclophilin and the adenine nucleotide transporter can modulate the sensitivity of the pore to cyclosporin.
