Abstract

The concept that creatine phosphokinase is bound to the outer surface of the heart mitochondrial inner membrane originated from observations that the enzyme is retained by water-swollen heart mitochondria and by digitonintreated heart mitochondria suspended in isotonic sucrose. The present study establishes that digitonin-treated mitochondria release creatine phosphokinase in isotonic KCl, and other investigators have reported an identical response for the water-swollen organelles. These observations suggest that mitochondrial creatine phosphokinase is not bound to the outer surface of the inner membrane at a site adjacent to the adenine nucleotide translocase under physiologic conditions.
