Abstract
⺠Respiratory complexes may not be the only major sites of ROS formation in mitochondria. ⺠E3 subunit of α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase generates superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. ⺠Disease-causing mutations of the E3 subunit have increased ROS-generating capability. ⺠α-Glycerophosphate dehydrogenase is a unique ROS-generating site in mitochondria. ⺠ROS production by α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase is stimulated by Ca2+ even in damaged mitochondria.
