title: Comparison of effects of inhibitors on adenosine triphosphatase and adenosine diphosphatase activities in rat-liver mitochondria.
abstract: Adenosine diphosphatase (ADPase) activity and ATPase activity were assayed in rat liver mitochondria and outer mitochondrial membrane preparations with [beta-32P]ADP and [gamma-32P]ATP as substrates. Inhibition studies were performed with the mitochondrial ATPase inhibitor oligomycin and the adenine nucleotide transport inhibitor, carboxyatractyloside. Kinetic studies were also performed with the nucleotide thiophosphate analogs adenosine 5'-O-thiophosphate, adenosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) and adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) which can act as inhibitors of phosphohydrolases. It is concluded that part of the apparent ADPase activity of intact mitochondria is mediated via ATPase, presumably in conjunction with adenylate kinase. In addition the outer mitochondrial membrane appears to show a distinct ADPase not attributable to contamination by inner membrane ATPase.
