Alkaline inorganic pyrophosphatase and Mg-ATPase are localized within the mitoplast of maize seeding mitochondria. NaF inhibited the PPase activity, whereas oligomycin and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide inhibited the Mg-ATPase activity. The mitoplast preparation synthesized PPi from Pi under conditions excluding hydrolysis of endogenous ATP. PPi synthesis was inhibited by ADP, antimycin A, NaCN and 2,4- dinitrophenol but not by oligomycin. It is suggested that PPi synthesis in the maize seedling mitochondria proceeds at the expense of the energy of electron transport chain and is independent of the ATP synthesis.
