Resumen:
The respiratory pathways of glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid
(TCA) cycle and the mitochondrial electron transport chain are
ubiquitous throughout nature. They are essential for both energy
provision in heterotrophic cells and a wide range of other
physiological functions. Although the series of enzymes and
proteins that participate in these pathways have long been
known, their regulation and control are much less well
understood. Further complexity arises due to the extensive
interaction among these pathways in particular, and also
between cytosolic and mitochondrial metabolism in general.
These interactions include those between mitochondrial
function in the photosynthetic and photorespiratory
processes, amino-acid biosynthesis and the regulation of cellular
redox. Recently, a wide range of molecular and biochemical
strategies have been adopted to elucidate the functional
significance of these interactions.
