Adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT), also known as the ADP/ATP translocase, exchanges free ATP with free ADP across the inner mitochondrial membrane.[1] ANT is the most abundant protein in the inner mitochondrial membrane.[2] It belongs to mitochondrial carrier family.

Function

ANT has long been thought to function asymmetrically as a homodimer of subunits in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The dimer was thought to be a gated pore through which ADP and ATP were exchanged between the mitochondrial matrix and the cytoplasm. The dimer hypothesis was first challenged when the three-dimensional structure of ANT was discovered to be a monomer.[3] Further work has shown that ANT functions as a monomer in detergents[4] and in mitochondrial membranes.[5][6]

ANT transports the free, i.e. deprotonated, non-Magnesium, non-Calcium bound forms of ADP and ATP, in a 1:1 ratio. It is fully reversible, and its directionality is governed by the concentrations of its substrates (ADP and ATP inside and outside mitochondria), the chelators of the adenine nucleotides, and the mitochondrial membrane potential. The relationship of these parameters can be expressed by an equation solving for the 'reversal potential of the ANT" (Erev_ANT), a value of the mitochondrial membrane potential at which no net transport of adenine nucleotides takes place by the ANT.[7][7][8][9] The ANT and the F0-F1 ATP synthase are not necessarily in directional synchrony.[7]

Apart from exchange of ADP and ATP across the inner mitochondrial membrane, the ANT also exhibits an intrinsic uncoupling activity[1][10]

ANT is an important modulatory[11] but not structural[12] component of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore which can open and lead to cell death through apoptosis or necrosis.

Types

In humans, there exist three paraologous ANT isoforms:
