Superoxide stimulates a proton leak in potato mitochondria that is related to the activity of uncoupling protein.
The ability of plant mitochondrial uncoupling proteins to catalyze a significant proton conductance in situ is controversial. We have re-examined conditions that lead to uncoupling of mitochondria isolated from the tubers of potato (Solanum tuberosum). Specifically, we have investigated the effect o...
