title: ATP opens an electrophoretic potassium transport pathway in respiring yeast mitochondria.
abstract: In the presence of KCl and only at low phosphate concentrations, ATP stimulated state 4 of the respiration of isolated yeast mitochondria. This effect could be related to a partial collapse of the transmembrane potential which was created by the respiratory chain or the F0F1-ATPase. Sodium and lithium could not replace potassium ion. Atractyloside prevented the opening of this K+ pathway, suggesting that only matricial ATP operated. All these effects were inhibited by increasing phosphate concentration, or by adding propranolol, quinine, Zn2+ or Mg2+.
