Mitochondrial alternative oxidase contributes to successful tardigrade anhydrobiosis [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2021 Anhydrobiosis can be described as an adaptation to lack of water that enables some organisms, including tardigrades, to survive extreme conditions, even some that do not exist on Earth.

Legume Alternative Oxidase Isoforms Show Differential Sensitivity to Pyruvate Activation [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Alternative oxidase (AOX) is an important component of the plant respiratory pathway, enabling a route for electrons that bypasses the energy-conserving, ROS-producing complexes of the mitochondrial electron transport chain.

Generation, Transfer, and Loss of Alternative Oxidase Paralogues in the Aspergillaceae Family [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2023 Alternative oxidase (Aox) is a terminal oxidase operating in branched electron transport. The activity correlates positively with overflow metabolisms in certain Aspergilli, converting intracellular glucose by the shortest possible path into organic ...

Toward More Drug Like Inhibitors of Trypanosome Alternative Oxidase [PDF]
ACS Infectious Diseases, 2018 New tools are required to ensure the adequate control of the neglected tropical disease human African trypanosomiasis. Annual reports of infection have recently fallen to fewer than 5000 cases per year; however, current therapies are hard to administer and have safety concerns and, hence, are far from ideal.

Alternative oxidase promotes high iron tolerance in Candida albicans [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Although crucial for cellular functioning, iron is toxic when present in excess. Iron overload can create a labile iron pool (LIP) that harms the mitochondrion, resulting in disruption of oxidative respiration. Fungal pathogen C.

The Complementary Roles of Chloroplast Cyclic Electron Transport and Mitochondrial Alternative Oxidase to Ensure Photosynthetic Performance [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Chloroplasts use light energy and a linear electron transport (LET) pathway for the coupled generation of NADPH and ATP. It is widely accepted that the production ratio of ATP to NADPH is usually less than required to fulfill the energetic needs of the ...
