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.

Beyond Ethylene: New Insights Regarding the Role of Alternative Oxidase in the Respiratory Climacteric [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Climacteric fruits are characterized by a dramatic increase in autocatalytic ethylene production that is accompanied by a spike in respiration at the onset of ripening.

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.

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 ...

New insight into the structure and function of the alternative oxidase
Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta - Bioenergetics, 2000 The alternative oxidase is a ubiquinol oxidase found in plant mitochondria, as well as in the mitochondria of some fungi and protists. It catalyzes a cyanide-resistant reduction of oxygen to water without translocation of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane, and thus functions as a non-energy-conserving member of the respiratory electron ...

Alternative oxidase in bacteria.
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2022 While alternative oxidase (AOX) was discovered in bacteria in 2003, the expression, function, and evolutionary history of this protein in these important organisms is largely unexplored.

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.
