| Abstract | Mitochondria isolated from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) taproot were shown to swell spontaneously after the transfer from a sucrose-containing isolation medium to isoosmotic potassium chloride solutions. The kinetics of this process was strongly retarded after the replacement of potassium with sodium in the incubation medium and was substantially stimulated by the electron-transport chain activity and valinomycin. At neutral pH of the incubation medium, the rate of K$^{+}$-dependent swelling of mitochondria decreased by 30–50% after adding 1 mM ATP but was insensitive to other nucleotides (GTP, UTP, and CTP). In the medium acidified to pH 6.0, the addition of ATP caused shrinkage of mitochondria that had been swollen in the KCl medium. In the absence of this nucleotide, the kinetics of K$^{+}$-dependent swelling of mitochondria was considerably decelerated upon the acidification of the incubation medium. The effects of ATP were independent of the presence or absence of oligomycin and atractyloside. However, the ATP-dependent shrinkage of mitochondria was inhibited in the presence of quinine, and this agent also inhibited K$^{+}$-dependent swelling of organelles in potassium acetate solutions. The presence of K$^{+}$ ions in the incubation medium caused a rapid dissipation of the mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψ) that was generated during succinate oxidation. The addition of ATP to the reaction medium resulted in the oligomycin-insensitive restoration of Δψ. The results are regarded as evidence that the membrane of taproot mitochondria is endowed with functionally active ATP-sensitive K$^{+}$ uniporter. This system is likely to represent a K$^{+}$ channel that catalyzes the electrogenic transfer of potassium ions to the mitochondrial matrix. It is supposed that the membrane of taproot mitochondria also contains a quinine-sensitive K$^{+}$/H$^{+}$ antiporter that catalyzes the efflux of potassium from the matrix or, on the contrary, the accumulation of K$^{+}$ in the presence of potassium acetate. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
