摘要
Fatty acid binding site on isolated mitochondrial uncoupling protein (UcP) is demonstrated using EPR spectroscopy of 5-DOXYL-stearic acid (5-SASL), which also activated H+ transport in proteoliposomes containing UcP In the presence of UcP the EPR spectrum showed reproducible broadening of the low field peak as well as an increase in h(+II)/h(+1M) ratio, rotational correlation time and in order parameter. The half-height width of the low field peak was even doubled in the presence of another UcP ligand, GDP. Palmitic acid reversed the effect of 5-SASL and non-ionizable 5-DOXYL-decane did not exhibit it.
