Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) as mitochondrial governator—Thinking outside the box

open access: yesBiochimica Et Biophysica Acta - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2006
Despite a detailed understanding of their metabolism, mitochondria often behave anomalously. In particular, global suppression of mitochondrial metabolism and metabolite exchange occurs in apoptosis, ischemia and anoxia, cytopathic hypoxia of sepsis and multiple organ failure, alcoholic liver disease, aerobic glycolysis in cancer cells (Warburg effect)

Localisation and function of voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC) in bovine spermatozoa

Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2007
Sperm motility, regulation of cell volume, sperm capacitation, acrosome reaction and tight binding of spermatozoa to the zona pellucida are crucial events in the process of fertilisation. Voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC) are highly conserved pore-forming proteins implicated in apoptosis, metabolite transport between mitochondria and cytosol ...

Purification of VDAC (Voltage-dependent anion-selective channel) from rat liver mitochondria

Journal of Membrane Biology, 1983
The outer membrane of rat liver mitochondria contains a channel-forming protein known as VDAC (voltage-dependent anion-selective channel). This protein has been functionally purified by a combination of ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration and affinity chromatography on a Concanavalin A-containing column.

Expression and localization of voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC) in human spermatozoa

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2009
Voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC), also known as mitochondrial porins, are a group of proteins first identified in the mitochondrial outer membrane that are able to form hydrophilic pore structures. VDAC allow the passage of the metabolites across the mitochondrial outer membrane, and are involved in metabolite transport and signal transduction ...

Mitochondrial membrane cholesterol, the voltage dependent anion channel (VDAC), and the Warburg effect

Journal of Bioenergetics and Biomembranes, 2008
Normal cells of aerobic organisms synthesize the energy they require in the form of ATP via the process of oxidative phosphorylation. This complex system resides in the mitochondria of cells and utilizes oxygen to produce a majority of cellular ATP.

STRUCTURE AND MODE OF ACTION OF A VOLTAGE DEPENDENT ANION-SELECTIVE CHANNEL (VDAC) LOCATED IN THE OUTER MITOCHONDRIAL MEMBRANE DEPENDENT ANION-SELECTIVE CHANNEL (VDAC)

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1980
VDAC is a channel-forming protein, located in the outer mitochondrial membrane, whose properties are consistent with the known permeability behavior of that membrane. When extracted with Triton X-100, VDAC exists as a 110,000 molecular weight glycoprotein complex which is a prepackaged channel. When inserted into liposomes, the permeability increase to

The mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptor: Evidence for association with the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC)

Journal of Bioenergetics and Biomembranes, 1992
Specific, high-affinity receptors for numerous drugs have recently been localized to mitochondrial membrane proteins. This review discusses the association of the mitochondrial receptor for benzodiazepines (mBzR) with the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), indicating a possible auxiliary role for VDAC as a putative drug binding protein.

Structural Analysis of Murine Voltage Dependent Anion Channel (VDAC) 1

The FASEB Journal, 2006
VDAC is a mammalian integral protein expressed in the outer mitochondrial membrane. It has a bi‐functional role in mitochondrial biology: under physiological conditions, it transports nucleotides and small molecules across the outer membrane and

The Mitochondrial Voltage-dependent Anion Channel (VDAC) as a Therapeutic Target for Initiating Cell Death

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2003
Voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC) are major constituents of the outer mitochondrial membrane. Over the past few years, several hypotheses and mechanisms have been forwarded for and against a role for VDAC in outer mitochondrial membrane permeability and the subsequent release of apoptosis promoting factors.

Modulation of the mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) by hydrogen peroxide and its recovery by curcumin

European Biophysics Journal, 2020
The Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel (VDAC) plays a vital role in mitochondria-mediated transport of ions and metabolites. It is well established that mitochondria are a site for production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Excess production of H2O2 is toxic to the cell and causes oxidative stress.
