The involvement of ANT conformation in Tl+-induced mitochondrial pore is proposed.
Thiol reagents (PAO, tBHP, DIDS) fixing the ANT in ‘c’ conformation researched
Ability of ADP to inhibit the pore decreased in the presence of the reagents.
N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) reacting with Cys56 of ANT inhibited the pore opening.
CsA and NEM recovered ability of ADP to inhibit the pore stimulated by the reagents.
