Effects of oligomycin and acidosis on rates of ATP depletion in ischemic heart muscle.
    The American journal of physiology, 1986, Volume: 250, Issue:3 Pt 2

    The perfusion of canine cardiac muscle with 10 microM oligomycin produced a nearly 90% slowing of the net rate of tissue ATP depletion from 0.200 to 0.025 mumol X min-1 X g wet wt-1 of tissue during a subsequent myocardial autolytic interval during which tissue pH was held constant. Moreover, lowering the tissue pH during the autolytic process by 0.6 unit from approximately 6.8 to approximately 6.2 produced a nearly 60% slowing of the net rate of tissue ATP depletion from 0.200 to 0.087 mumol X min-1 X g wet wt-1. The pH dependence of the net rate of tissue ATP depletion (by an oligomycin-sensitive process) was that predicted from the mitochondrial ATPase pH-inhibition profiles reported earlier (J. Biol. Chem. 258: 9657-9661, 1983). When taken together with our observation that the mitochondrial ATPase comprises approximately 90% of the total of all of the ATP hydrolyzing activities present in cardiac muscle cells, data reported here suggest that the protonic inhibition of the mitochondrial ATPase plays a major role in regulating the rate of tissue ATP depletion during myocardial ischemia.
