The alternative oxidase reconfigures the larval mitochondrial electron transport system to accelerate growth and development in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>
2025-02-23
Abstract excerpt
The alternative oxidase (AOX) is naturally present in the mitochondrial electron transfer system (ETS) of many organisms but absent in vertebrates and most insects. AOX oxidizes coenzyme Q and reduces O 2 in H 2 O, partially replacing the ETS cytochrome c segment and alleviating the oxidative stress caused by ETS overload. As successfully demonstrated in animal models, AOX shows potential in mitigating mitochond...
