Mitochondrial responses. Studies similar to those Involving isolated chloroplasts and thylakoids were conducted with isolated mung bean mitochondria in order to ascertain whether the effects imposed on thylakoid membranes were common to energy transducing membranes in general.

One striking characteristic of the coupling ATPase of energy-transducing membranes, apart from the extraordinarily large number of different polypeptide subunits, is the existence of two different polypeptides involved in the response of the enzyme to the inhibitor oligomycin. One binds the inhibitor, the other, separated in space from the former by possibly as much as 10 to 15 A, confers oligomycin sensitivity to the entire enzyme complex. How could the transfer of information between these two polypeptide subunits and their concerted interaction with the ATPase proper be visualized ...

One of these complexes, the ATP synthase, sometimes called the proton-translocating ATPase, is present in closely similar forms in all energy-transducing membranes. When the complex is assembled in the membrane it catalyzes a hydrolysis or synthesis of ATP which is coupled to the obligatory translocation of protons across the membrane. 

The energy-transducing membrane is topologically closed and has a low proton permeability...
