Cyclosporin A (CsA) inhibits the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), but not always. To characterize the CsA-sensitive and -insensitive MPT, rat liver mitochondria were exposed to low and high doses of various MPT inducers. Mitochondrial swelling, cyclophilin D membrane binding and permeability transition (PT) pore diameter were measured. The results indicate two conductance modes for the PT pore: one activated by Ca2+ and inhibited by CsA and Mg2+ and the other unregulated. We propose a new model of pore formation and gating in which PT pores form by aggregation of misfolded integral membrane proteins damaged by oxidant and other stresses. Chaperone-like proteins initially block conductance through these misfolded protein clusters; however, increased Ca2+ opens these regulated PT pores, an effect blocked by CsA. When protein clusters exceed chaperones available to block conductance, unregulated pore opening occurs. (C) 2002 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
