title: Evidence for a 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex activity in mitochondria of Neurospora crassa and compared localization with the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
abstract: A 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex activity is demonstrated in Neurospora crassa mitochondria. A submitochondrial fractionation by digitonin treatment followed by freeze-thawing enables measurement of a well preserved activity in the mitochondrial matrix. In contrast to other reports, the pyruvate dehydrogenase activity is also found to be localized in the matrix.
