Abstract

Physiological aspects of uncoupling of oxidation and phosphorylation are reviewed in thecontext of involvement of mitochondrial anion carriers. It is assumed that the carriers facilitateelectrophoretic translation of fatty acid anion, RCOO-, from the inner to the outer leaflet ofthe mitochondrial membrane, whereas back movement of the protonated fatty acid, RCOOH,from the outer to the inner leaflet represents flip-flop of RCOOH via the phospholipid bilayerof the membrane. The RCOO- transport seems to be catalyzed by the ATP/ADP and aspartate/glutamate antiporters, dicarboxylate carrier, and uncoupling proteins (UCP1, UCP2, UCP3L,UCP3s, and plant UCP). The fatty acid uncoupling is shown to be involved in thethermoregulatory heat production in animals and plants exposed to cold, as well as in performance ofrespiratory functions other than ATP synthesis, i.e., formation of useful substances,decomposition of unwanted substances, and antioxidant defense. Moreover, partial uncoupling might takepart in optimization of the rate of ATP synthesis in aerobic cells.
