The buffer requirements to maintain mitochondrial intactness and membrane potential in in vitro studies were investigated, using gradient purified yeast mitochondria. It was found that the presence of phosphate is crucial for generation of a stable membrane potential and for preserving the intactness of the outer membrane, as assessed by probing the accessibility of Tom40p to trypsin and the leakage of cytochrome b2 from the intermembrane space. Upon addition of respiratory substrate in the absence of phosphate, mitochondria generate a membrane potential that collapses within 1 min. Under the same conditions, the mitochondrial outer membrane is disrupted. The presence of phosphate prevents both phenomena. The DeltapH component of the proton motive force appears to be responsible for the compromised outer membrane integrity. The collapse of the membrane potential is reversible to a limited extent. Only when phosphate is added soon enough after the addition of exogenous respiratory substrate can a stable membrane potential be obtained again. Within a few minutes, this capacity is lost. The presence of Mg(2+) prevents rupture of the outer membrane, but does not prevent rapid dissipation of the membrane potential. Similar results were obtained for mitochondria isolated and stored in the presence of dextran or bovine serum albumin.
Most studies of human motion perception have been based on the implicit assumption that the brain has only one motion-detection system, or at least that only one is operational in any given instance. We show, in the context of direction perception in spatially filtered two-frame random-dot kinematograms, that two quite different mechanisms operate simultaneously in the detection of such patterns. One mechanism causes reversal of the perceived direction (reversed-phi motion) when the image contrast is reversed between frames, and is highly dependent on the spatial-frequency content of the image. These characteristics are both signatures of detection based on motion energy. The other mechanism does not produce reversed-phi motion and is unaffected by spatial filtering. This appears to involve the tracking of unsigned complex spatial features. The perceived direction of a filtered dot pattern typically reflects a mixture of the two types of behaviour in any given instance. Although both types of mechanism have previously been invoked to explain the perception of motion of different types of image, the simultaneous involvement of two mechanisms in the detection of the same simple rigid motion of a pattern suggests that motion perception in general results from a combination of mechanisms working simultaneously on different principles in the same circumstances.
