Abstract

Mitochondrial biogenesis during fungal spore germination. Catalytic activity, composition, and subunit biosynthesis of oligomycin-sensitive ATPase in Botryodiplodia.

Highlights

Botryodiplodia theobromae did not contain a functional of mitochondrial respiratory membranes are composed of oligomycin- or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive multiple, distinct subunit polypeptides which are synthesized adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase); this en- on either mitochondrial or cytoplasmic ribosome systems
Germination requires oxygen and a functional electron transport system; antimycin A and cyanide completely inhibit both germination and oxygen consumption [3].Spores incubated in the presence of chloramphenicol or ethidium bromide germinate and respire at rates comparable to those of untreated spores [3, 16, 18, 24]; cycloheximide completely inhibits germination and respiration if it is administered to the spores during the Fist 135 min of incubation [2]
The ATPase of Botryodiplodia isolated in this study via immunoprecipitation contained at least 12 different subunit polypeptides

Summary

Introduction

Botryodiplodia theobromae did not contain a functional of mitochondrial respiratory membranes are composed of oligomycin- or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive multiple, distinct subunit polypeptides which are synthesized adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase); this en- on either mitochondrial or cytoplasmic ribosome systems (for zyme activity was elaborated rapidly after 120 min of a recent review, see Ref. 4).
