The mitochondrial inner membrane is impermeable to CoA and acylCoA. However, β-oxidation occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.

The mitochondrial inner membrane is impermeable to CoA and acylCoA. However, β-oxidation occurs in the mitochondrial matrix. AcylCoA is formed in the ________, and the acyl group is transferred to ______, which can cross the inner membrane through a translocase, and the acylCoA is regenerated in the _________.

Expert Solution

Matrix of mitochondria,

Citrate,

Cytosol.

Acetyl coA forms in the matrix of mitochondria. It cannot cross the inner mitochondrial membrane. So it passes it's acetyl group to citrate. Citrate leaves mitochondria and enters cytosol. In cytosol citrate reacts with cytosolic coA and ATP to form acetyl coA.

You can create a vesicle from the inner mitochondrial membrane that includes a functional ATP synthase protein with its fully functional F0 rotor, central stalk, and F1 ATPase head. There is ATP, ADP, and Pi (inorganic phosphate) present inside and outside of the vesicle. You are allowed to mechanically spin the F0 rotor domain in the absence of protons. How would ATP levels change inside the vesicle? Briefly explain how this change occurs.
