Abstract: The regulation of electron transport in pea (Pisum sativum L.) leaf mitochondria under state 4 conditions has been investigated by simultaneously monitoring oxygen uptake, the steady-state reduction level of ubiquinone, and membrane potential. Membrane potentials were measured using a methyltriphenylphosphonium electrode while a voltametric technique was used to monitor changes in the steady-state reduction levels of quinone. It was found that the addition of glycine to mitochondria oxidising malate in state 4 led to a marked increase in the rate of O2 uptake and increased both the membrane potential and reduction level of the quinone pool. Increases in the state 4 respiratory rate were attributed to both an increase in driving flux, due to increased Q-pool reduction, and in membrane potential. Due to the nonohmic behavior of the inner membrane, under these conditions, an increase in potential would result in a considerable rise in proton conductance. Measurement of dual substrate oxidation, in the presence of n-propylgallate, revealed that the increase in respiratory activity was not mediated by the alternative oxidase. Similar increases in membrane potential and the level of Q-pool reduction were observed even in the presence of rotenone suggesting that the rotenone-insensitive pathway is a constitutive feature of plant mitochondria and may play a role in facilitating rapid state 4 rates even in the presence of a high energy charge.

- "The transition to state 4 conditions increases the protonmotive force which exerts a back pressure on the respiratory chain restricting the rate of electron flow and hence overall oxygen uptake."
- Comment: Protonmotive force exerts a 'back force', whereas protonmotive pressure (Gnaiger 2020 BEC MitoPathways) creates a 'back pressure'.
- "The control of respiration in plant mitochondria is somewhat more complicated than in mammalian tissues since the majority of plant mitochondria possess, albeit to varying extents, a cyanide-insensitive alternative oxidase, and a rotenone-insensitive bypass of Complex I (10). Since electron flux via these pathways is not linked to proton extrusion (21) their engagement could make a considerable contribution to the overall respiratory rate under state 4 conditions.

This difference in rate has been attributed to the ATPase acting as an ion-influx channel, because state 2 conditions favor the release of the inhibitor protein IF, from its inhibitory site on F, facilitating increased H+-conductance (30)."
