Abstract:
:The effect of N-ethyl-5-phenylisoxazolium 3"-sulfonate (Woodward's reagent K, WRK), a reagent forming covalent bonds with protein carboxyl groups, on the activity of the mitochondrial phosphate carrier was investigated. Treatment with WRK of mitochondria or of extracted carrier incorporated into liposomes, inhibited phosphate transport in a reconstituted liposomal system. Increasing the binding of WRK resulted in increased inhibition: the modified carrier protein showed a reduced affinity for phosphate, but binding of WRK had no effect on the Vmax of phosphate transport. It was concluded that WRK caused a conformational change in the carrier protein not involving the phosphate or H+ carrier sites such that its affinity for phosphate was lowered.
