| Research Abstract |
Ubiquinone (UQ) is an essential electron carrier of the mitochondrial respiratory system. However, resent studies suggest the existence of the mitochondrial proteins, which use UQ as an important cofactor. We revealed mitochondrial ubiquinone-binding protein Coq10 accommodates UQ using synthetic UQ-probes.We also carried out photoaffinity labeling studies of mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) using photolabile complex I inhibitors. We revealed that inhibitor/quinone-binding pocket formed at the interface of the PSST, 49 kDa, and ND1 subunits. These results strongly support our idea that this region exclusively accommodates chemically diverse complex I inhibitors in a manner dependent on their structural properties
