描述 | N-Ethylmaleimide (NEM), a reagent that alkylates free sulfhydryl groups, is a cysteine protease inhibitor[2]. N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) was shown to be a highly effective inhibitor of the following coupled mitochondrial processes: oxidative phosphorylation, ATP-32Pi exchange, Pi-induced light scattering and configurational changes, State III respiration, valinomycin-induced translocation of potassium with Pi as the anion, and calcium accumulation in presence of Pi. Also NEM, even et levels 2-3 times greater than those required to inhibit oxidative phosphorylation in intact mitochondria, did not inhibit coupled processes in submitochondrial particles[3]. When D. salina thylakoid membranes are treated with N-ethylmaleimide, both photophosphorylation and the inducible CF1 ATPase activity are partially (approx. 60%) inhibited. Treatment of the purified, latent, D. salina CF1 with low concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide also results in the partial (approx. 60%) inhibition of the inducible ATPase activity (IC50 approximately 50 mM). N-ethylmaleimide-induced inhibition of the ATPase activity of either membrane-bound or solubilized CF1 is partially reversed by either prolonged incubation at low concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide or short incubation times at high concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide[4]. |
