Succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity measured 21 days after 3 intraperitoneal injections of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) was decreased in heart, lung and kidney while it remained unaltered in brain. Under in vitro conditions, only SDH was sensitive to DEHP, degree of inhibition being concentration-dependent. DEHP solubilized with Tween 80 inhibited the SDH activity significantly at small concentrations of 5 to 25 ppm. ATPase activity was not modified.

1. The fatty acid composition of the ole-1 and ole-1 petite mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was manipulated by growing the organism in the presence of defined supplements of Tween 80 or by allowing cells that had first been grown in the presence of Tween 80 to deplete their unsaturated fatty acids by sequent growth in the absence of Tween 80. 2. The transition temperature of Arrhenius plots of mitochondrial ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) increases as the unsaturated fatty acid content is lowered. 3. Cells require larger amounts of unsaturated fatty acids to grow on ethanol at lower temperatures. 4. Cells that stop growing owing to unsaturated fatty acid depletion at low temperatures are induced to grow further by raising the temperature and this results in a further depletion of unsaturated acids. This is due to a higher rate, but not a greater efficiency, of mitochondrial ATP synthesis. 5. Arrhenius plots of the passive permeability of mitochondria to protons between 4 and 37 degrees C are linear. The rate and the Arrhenius activation energy of proton entry increase greatly as the unsaturated fatty acid content is lowered. 6. Unsaturated fatty acid depletion has the same effects on the proton permeability of ole-1 petite mitochondria, indicating that the mitochondrially synthesized subunits of the ATPase are not involved in the enhanced rates of proton entry. 7. The adenylate energy charge of depleted ole-1 cells is greatly decreased by growth on ethanol medium. 8. The adenylate energy charge of isolated mitochondria is also lowered by unsaturated fatty acid depletion. 9. The results confirm that unsaturated fatty acid depletion uncouples oxidative phosphorylation in yeast both in vivo and in vitro, and is a consequence of changes in the lipid part of the membrane.

1. The sterol, unsaturated fatty acid and cytochrome contents of cells of a delta-aminolaevulinate synthase mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are manipulated by growing the organism in media containing defined supplements of delta-aminolaevulinate and other porphyrin intermediates. 2. If unsaturated fatty acids are added to the growth medium as Tween 80, sterol content and respiratory cytochromes alone are manipulated. 3. In the presence of delta-aminolaevulinate (10-50mg/1) cells exhibit moderate to high respiratory activity, but growth yields are low, indicating a loss of oxidative phosphorylation. This is associated with the depletion of membrane lipids, either unsaturated fatty acids and sterols together or sterols alone. 4. Sterol depletion leads to the loss of coupled mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in vitro. 5. The lesion in oxidative phosphorylation is associated with an increase in the passive permeability of sterol-depleted mitochondria to protons. 6. Arrhenius plots of mitochondrial permeability to protons indicate that the activation energy for proton entry increases as the sterol content of the membranes decreases. 7. Studies on a cytoplasmic petite mutant isolated from strain ole-3, which lacks a functional membrane-bound protein-translocating adenosine triphosphatase, indicate that proton permeability of the petite mitochondria varies as a function of sterol composition in the same way as that of ole-3 grande mitochondria. This indicates that sterols alone are probably directly responsible for the increased proton entry, owing to a reorganization of the lipid in the membrane. 8. Supplemented ole-3 cells with a normal lipid composition and normal or higher than normal respiratory activities have a growth efficiency only 65% of that of the wild-type, indicating that a further lesion in energy metabolism may be present.
