Homeostatic regulation of cellular energy metabolism: experimental characterization in vivo and fit to a model

M. Erecinska, D. F. Wilson and K. Nishiki

Measurements in isolated liver cells, cultured kidney cells, protozoa (Tetrahymena pyriformis), and yeast (Candida utilis) indicate that homeostatic regulation of cellular energy metabolism is of common origin. In every case near equilibrium is maintained between the transfer of reducing equivalents from the intramitochondrial NAD couple to cytochrome c and the phosphorylation of cytosolic ADP to ATP. Under conditions of constant energy demand, changes in the intracellular phosphate concentration cause an adjustment in the [ATP]/[ADP] to maintain a constant [ATP]/[ADP][Pi] and constant respiratory rate. The regulation of mitochondrial respiration occurs as part of the reactions by which reduced cytochrome c is oxidized by molecular oxygen. At similar values for the [ATP]/[ADP][Pi] the respiratory rate increases with increasing reduction of cytochrome c. A model for mitochondrial respiratory control is found to give a good fit to the data in all of the different types of cells tested.
