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: A Potential Target for Controlling Aflatoxin Contamination and Propagation of Aspergillus flavus [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Aflatoxins are among the most hazardous natural cereal contaminants. These mycotoxins are produced by Aspergillus spp. as polyketide secondary metabolites. Aflatoxigenic fungi including A.

De novo transcriptome assembly reveals three alternative oxidase encoding genes in Nymphaea alba L.
Düzce Üniversitesi Bilim ve Teknoloji Dergisi, 2022 Water lilies are aquatic, ornamental and economically valuable plants classified under Nymphaea genus. Nymphaea alba L., white water lily, has a special focus since it is a member of basal angiosperms.

Alternative oxidase and plant stress tolerance [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2016 Alternative oxidase (AOX) is one of the terminal oxidases of the plant mitochondrial electron transport chain. AOX acts as a means to relax the highly coupled and tensed electron transport process in mitochondria thus providing and maintaining the much needed metabolic homeostasis by directly reducing oxygen to water.

Evaluation of some defense enzymes activities in chickpea plants under cold stress [PDF]
مجله بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی, 2017 Plants require different defensive mechanisms for being survive and tolerance to environmental stresses. In present study, activity of defensive enzymes such as alternative oxidase (AOX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), electrolyte leakage ...

Microorganisms, 2020 The Neurospora crassa AOD1 protein is a mitochondrial alternative oxidase that passes electrons directly from ubiquinol to oxygen. The enzyme is encoded by the nuclear aod-1 gene and is produced when the standard electron transport chain is inhibited. We

The Role of the Alternative Oxidase in Stabilizing the in Vivo Reduction State of the Ubiquinone Pool and the Activation State of the Alternative Oxidase [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1998 Abstract A possible function for the alternative (nonphosphorylating) pathway is to stabilize the reduction state of the ubiquinone pool (Qr/Qt), thereby avoiding an increase in free radical production. If the Qr/Qt were stabilized by the alternative pathway, then Qr/Qt should be less stable when the alternative pathway is blocked.
