Conventional view ofmitochondrial
structure is at right.
Respiratory chain isin cristae of the innermembrane.
Spontaneous electrontransfer through
respiratory chain complexes I, III & IV is coupled toH+ ejection from the matrix to the intermembrane space.
Because the outer membrane contains large channels,these protons may equilibrate with the cytosol.

3-D reconstructionsbased on electron micrographs of
isolated mitochondria taken with a large depth of field, atdifferent tilt angles have indicated that the infoldings of
the inner mitochondrial membrane are variable in shape
and are connected to the periphery and to each other by
narrow tubular regions.

maximizing the effective H+ gradient.

Lack of high-resolution structural information for themembrane domain ofcomplex I has hindered elucidationof the mechanism of H+ transport.
Direct coupling of transmembrane H+
flux & e
transfer isunlikely, because the electron-tranferring prosthetic groups,FMN & Fe-S, are all in the peripheral domain of complex I.
Thus is assumed that protein conformational changes are
involved in H+ transport, as with an ion pump.

QH2 gives up 1e

Structural & mutational studies indicate that protons passthrough complex IV via chains of groups subject to
protonation/deprotonation, called "protonw
ires."
These consist mainly of chains of buried water molecules,along with amino acid side-chains, & propionate side-chains of hemes.
Separate H+-conducting pathways link each side of themembrane to the buried binuclear center where O2reduction takes place.
These include 2 proton pathways, designated "
D" & "
K"(named after constituent Asp & Lys residues) extending
from the mitochondrial matrix to near the binuclear centerdeep within complex IV.

Aswitch mechanism controlled by the reaction cycle isproposed to effect transfer of a proton from one half-wire (half-channel) to the other.
There cannot be an open pathway for H+
completelythrough the membrane, or oxidative phosphorylationwould be uncoupled.(Pumped protons would leak back.)
Switching may involve conformational changes, and
oxidation/reduction-linked changes in pKa of groupsassociated with the catalytic metal centers.
Detailed mechanisms have been proposed.

antiporter that catalyzes exchange ofADP forAT
Pacross the inner mitochondrial membrane.
At cell pH, ATP has 4 () charges, ADP 3 () charges.

Uncoupling Protein
An uncoupling protein (thermogenin) is produced inbrown adipose tissue of newborn mammals andhibernating mammals.
This protein of the inner mitochondrial membranefunctions as a H+carrier.
The uncoupling protein blocks development of a H+
electrochemical gradient, thereby stimulating
respiration.(G of respiration is dissipated as heat.
This "non-shivering thermogenesis" is costly in termsof respiratory energy unavailable forATP synthesis,but provides valuable warming of the organism.
