P-L net OXPHOS capacity

Description

The P-L net capacity is the net OXPHOS capacity, P-L. The OXPHOS capacity is corrected for LEAK respiration. P-L is the scope for ADP stimulation, the respiratory capacity potentially available for phosphorylation of ADP to ATP. Oxygen consumption in the OXPHOS state, therefore, is partitioned into P-L, strictly coupled to phosphorylation P», and nonphosphorylating LEAK respiration, L_P, compensating for proton leaks, slip and cation cycling: P = P-L+L_P. It is frequently assumed that LEAK respiration L as measured in the LEAK state, overestimates the LEAK component of respiration, L_P, as measured in the OXPHOS state, particularly if the protonmotive force is not adjusted to equivalent levels in L and L_P. However, if the LEAK component increases with enzyme turnover during P, the low enzyme turnover during L may counteract the effect of the higher pmF.

  4-compartmental OXPHOS model. (1) ET capacity E of the noncoupled electron transfer system ETS. OXPHOS capacity P is partitioned into (2) the dissipative LEAK component L, and (3) ADP-stimulated P-L net OXPHOS capacity. (4) If P-L is kinetically limited by a low capacity of the phosphorylation system to utilize the protonmotive force pmF, then the apparent E-P excess capacity is available to drive coupled processes other than phosphorylation P» (ADP to ATP) without competing with P».

  (P-L)/P is the OXPHOS P-L control efficiency. The biochemical coupling efficiency is independent of kinetic control by the phosphorylation system when expressed as the E-L coupling efficiency, (E-L)/E. (E-P)/E is the kinetic E-P control efficiency.
