Mitochondria were isolated by gradient centrifugation on linear sucrose gradients from broken cell suspensions of phototrophically grown Euglena gracilis. An antimycin A-sensitive but rotenone-insensitive glycollate-dependent oxygen uptake was demonstrated in isolated mitochondria. The partial reactions of glycollate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and cytochrome c oxidase were demonstrated by using Euglena cytochrome c as exogenous electron acceptor/donor. Isolated mitochondria contain glycollate dehydrogenase and glyoxylate-glutamate aminotransferase and oxidize exogenous glycine. A P:O ratio of 1.7 was obtained for glycollate oxidation, consistent with glycollate electrons entering the Euglena respiratory chain at the flavoprotein level. The significance of these results is discussed in relation to photorespiration in algae.

We have recently reported that ATP induces an uncoupling pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria [Prieto, Bouillaud, Ricquier and Rial (1992) Eur. J. Biochem. 208, 487-491]. The presence of this pathway would explain the reported low efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation in S. cerevisiae, and may represent one of the postulated energy-dissipating mechanisms present in these yeasts. In this paper we demonstrate that ATP exerts its action in two steps: first, at low ATP/Pi ratios, it increases the respiratory-chain activity, probably by altering the kinetic properties of cytochrome c oxidase. Second, at higher ATP/Pi ratios, an increase in membrane permeability leads to a collapse in membrane potential. The ATP effect on cytochrome c oxidase corroborates a recent report showing that ATP interacts specifically with yeast cytochrome oxidase, stimulating its activity [Taanman and Capaldi (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 18754-18761].
