Abstract excerpt
Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein that dissipates the proton electrochemical gradient built up by the respiratory chain. Its activity is stimulated by free fatty acids and inhibited by purine nucleotides. Here we investigated how active and regulated recombinant UCP1 expressed in yeast at approximately 1 and approximately 10 microg/mg of total mitochondrial proteins induced...
