Popis: The oxidation of critical cysteines/related thiols of adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) is believed to be an important event of the Ca 2+ -induced mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), a process mediated by a cyclosporine A/ADP-sensitive permeability transition pores (PTP) opening. We addressed the ANT-Cys 56 relative mobility status resulting from the interaction of ANT/surrounding cardiolipins with Ca 2+ and/or ADP by means of computational chemistry analysis (Molecular Interaction Fields and Molecular Dynamics studies), supported by classic mitochondrial swelling assays. The following events were predicted: (i) Ca 2+ interacts preferentially with the ANT surrounding cardiolipins bound to the H4 helix of translocase, (ii) weakens the cardiolipins/ANT interactions and (iii) destabilizes the initial ANT-Cys 56 residue increasing its relative mobility. The binding of ADP that stabilizes the conformation “m” of ANT and/or cardiolipin, respectively to H5 and H4 helices, could stabilize their contacts with the short helix h56 that includes Cys 56 , accounting for reducing its relative mobility. The results suggest that Ca 2+ binding to adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT)-surrounding cardiolipins in c-state of the translocase enhances (ANT)-Cys 56 relative mobility and that this may constitute a potential critical step of Ca 2+ -induced PTP opening.
