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 ...

Localization and functional characterization of the alternative oxidase in Naegleria. [PDF]
J Eukaryot Microbiol, 2022 AbstractThe alternative oxidase (AOX) is a protein involved in supporting enzymatic reactions of the Krebs cycle in instances when the canonical (cytochrome‐mediated) respiratory chain has been inhibited, while allowing for the maintenance of cell growth and necessary metabolic processes for survival.

An alternative oxidase monoclonal antibody recognises a highly conserved sequence among alternative oxidase subunits [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1999 The alternative oxidase is found in the inner mitochondrial membranes of plants and some fungi and protists. A monoclonal antibody raised against the alternative oxidase from the aroid lily Sauromatum guttatum has been used extensively to detect the enzyme in these organisms.

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 ...

Structural and Biophysical Characterization of Purified Recombinant Arabidopsis thaliana's Alternative Oxidase 1A (rAtAOX1A): Interaction With Inhibitor(s) and Activator [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 In higher plants, alternative oxidase (AOX) participates in a cyanide resistant and non-proton motive electron transport pathway of mitochondria, diverging from the ubiquinone pool. The physiological significance of AOX in biotic/abiotic stress tolerance

Purification of active recombinant trypanosome alternative oxidase [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2003 Trypanosome alternative oxidase (TAO) is the terminal oxidase of the respiratory chain in long slender bloodstream forms of African trypanosomes. TAO is a cytochrome‐independent, cyanide‐insensitive quinol oxidase. These characteristics are distinct from those of the bacterial quinol oxidases, proteins that belong to the heme‐copper terminal oxidase ...
