The role of ADP in the regulation of Ca2+ efflux in rat brain mitochondria was investigated. ADP was shown to inhibit Ruthenium-Red-insensitive H+- and Na+-dependent Ca2+-efflux rates if Pi was present, but had no effect in the absence of Pi. The primary effect of ADP is an inhibition of Pi efflux, and therefore it allows the formation of a matrix Ca2+-Pi complex at concentrations above 0.2 mM-Pi and 25 nmol of Ca2+/mg of protein, which maintains a constant free matrix Ca2+ concentration. ADP inhibition of Pi and Ca2+ efflux is nucleotide-specific, since in the presence of oligomycin and an inhibitor of adenylate kinase ATP does not substitute for ADP, is dependent on the amount of ADP present, and requires ADP concentrations in excess of the concentrations of translocase binding sites. Brain mitochondria incubated with 0.2 mM-Pi and ADP showed Ca2+-efflux rates dependent on Ca2+ loads at Ca2+ concentrations below those required for the formation of a Pi-Ca2+ complex, and behaved as perfect cytosolic buffers exclusively at high Ca2+ loads. The possible role of brain mitochondrial Ca2+ in the regulation of the tricarboxylic acid-cycle enzymes and in buffering cytosolic Ca2+ is discussed.

The effects of potassium decanoate on the phosphorylation associated with the oxidation of pyruvate by rat-kidney and rat-brain mitochondria have been investigated. The suggestion that these two processes may be uncoupled from each other in the presence of decanoate has been confirmed. Further, it has been shown that the decanoate-insensitive oxidation of pyruvate by rat-brain mitochondria, occurring in the absence of such stimulating agents as fumarate, is not associated with ATP synthesis. The fumarate-stimulated oxidation of pyruvate by rat-brain mitochondria, which is inhibited by decanoate, is associated with a phosphorylation process which is uncoupled by decanoate. When pyruvate oxidation by rat-kidney or by rat-brain mitochondria is uncoupled from phosphorylation, the extent of uncoupling is proportional to the amount of decanoate added.
